Amelogenesis Imperfecta- Hypoplastic Variant.

Abstract

Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a developmental disorder which is hereditary in origin, affecting the formation and mineralization of enamel of one or all the teeth. The mode of inheritance for AI trait may be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked. The variants of amelogenesis imperfecta include hypoplastic, hypomaturative and hypocalcified based on the primary enamel defect. This article intends to present a case of amelogenesis imperfecta in a 8 years old young girl.
