Abstract
|
|
|
Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of hereditary defects of enamel, unassociated with any other generalized disease.
According to its clinical features, it is classified into hypoplastic type, hypocalcified type and hypomaturation type. The presentation of diverse clinical manifestations in 1:14,000 to 1:16,000. Patients with amelogenesis imperfecta may present with clinical difficulties, such as insufficient crown length, teeth discoloration, crown fracture, tooth sensitivity and orthodontic discrepancies. This clinical case report describes the oral rehabilitation of an adult male patient diagnosed with hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta. The patient had generalized attrition, teeth discoloration, crown fracture, and open-bite on the anterior dentition. The ultimate aim of this treatment was to enhance esthetics and masticatory function. First of all, preventive treatment was carried out, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. Then metal-ceramic restorations were placed on all teeth to reduce sensitivity and improve esthetics with function. The patient was satisfied with the result esthetically and functionally, and the 24th months recall examination revealed no pathologic changes associated with the treatment.
