Aesthetic full-mouth oral rehabilitation of a young adult with amelogenesis imperfecta: a clinical report

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) encompasses a complicated group of hereditary conditions thatcause developmental alterations in the structure of the enamel in the absence of a systemicdisorder. AI primarily affects the quality and/or quantity of dental enamel, and it may affect all oronly some of the teeth in the primary and/or permanent dentition. Treatment of a patient withamelogenesis imperfecta (AI) presents a real problem from both functional and esthetic points ofview. An esthetic result also will result in an improvement in the patient s quality of life. This clinicalreport illustrates the oral rehabilitation of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with hypomature typeof AI. The aim of treatment was to both restore esthetics and improve masticatory function.Aesthetic and functional expectations were met zircon- ceramic restorations.
