Management of Amelogenesis Imperfecta: Report of Three Cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disease affecting primary and permanent tooth enamel. The incidence varies between 1:700 to 1:4000. The clinical findings include enamel defects, tooth sensitivity, poor dental aesthetics, reduced vertical dimension, dentin dysplasia, and pulpal calcification. Effective treatment planning should incorporate numerous factors such as the patient’s age, disease type and severity, and general oral condition. Over time, severe tissue destruction may occur, and therefore, it is important to begin treatment as early as possible. The present case report describes patients diagnosed with three types of Al: hypoplastic, hypocalcified, and hypomaturation. Keywords: Amelogenesis Imperfecta, Hypoplastic, Hypocalcified, Hypomaturation
