Journal Title: International Dental Journal of Student Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Statement of problem: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disorder that causes defective enamel development in both primary and permanent dentition. Significant tooth structure damage often results in occlusal disharmony affecting the patient’s occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the current data in OVD evaluation and its reestablishment during the treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta patients. Method and Materials: Relevant publications on OVD evaluation in amelogenesis imperfecta patients were thoroughly reviewed from the literature published between the years 1994 and 2014: With no restrictions criteria on the language of publications or the types of articles. The search strategy was developed using a combination of controlled vocabulary and the final update was stopped on November 2014.
