Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a developmental condition affecting the enamel structure and quality of all or nearly all the teeth. Rehabilitation of a patient with AI is a major challenge to the prosthodontist. The affected teeth have a yellowish discoloration and significant attrition associated with it. The treatment plan depends on the age as well as the functional and esthetic need of the patient. The psychological impact of the disease and the improvement of the psychological aspect should also be taken into consideration. The following is a case report of a twenty-three-year-old male, with compromised occlusion and poor esthetics owing to Amelogenesis Imperfecta. The affected teeth were restored using metal ceramic crowns. The esthetic, functional and psychological demands of the patient were fulfilled. Keywords: Amelogenesis imperfecta, full mouth rehabilitation, metal ceramic crowns, Occlusal stability
