Esthetic Rehabilitation of Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disease affecting primary and permanent tooth enamel. The affected teeth are disturbed in coloration, thickness, and resistance. The rehabilitation of AI in a child must take into account the development of the child’s teeth, the health of the periodontal tissues, and the maxillary and mandibular growth. This article reports the esthetic and occlusal rehabilitation of a 14-year-old girl affected with hypocalcified AI.
