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 that cause developmental alterations in the structure of the enamel in the absence of a systemic disorder. AI primarily affects the quality and/or quantity of dental enamel, and it may affect all or only some of the teeth in the primary and/or permanent dentition. Treatment of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) presents a real problem from both functional and esthetic points of view. An esthetic result also will result in an improvement in the patient's quality of life. This clinical report illustrates the oral rehabilitation of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with hypomature type of AI. The aim of treatment was to both restore esthetics and improve masticatory function. Aesthetic and functional expectations were met zircon-ceramic restorations.

“…Although in the majority of cases, such issues do not critically alter the treatment course, still, precautions must be taken in order to ensure the best possible outcome [55,56]. Moreover, the complexity of the phenomena that may interfere with simple or complicated endodontic pathology as a differential diagnosis, namely the dysfunctional syndrome of the stomatognathic system, can be intercepted during detailed diagnostic procedures and addressed by specific elaborate treatment [57][58][59][60][61], which was also used in the present study. The cases were treated by splints in 29% of patients, 12% of them with muscle relaxants, also 98% of subjects with occlusal parameters restoration, namely: occlusal areas, composite fillings, and amalgam, but also occlusal imbalances of existing components of gnato-prosthetic devices in 57% or their total replacement, as well as orthodontic adjustments in some cases.…”

Full mouth functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of a patient affected with hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta

“…We placed separate crowns on all tee-th with anatomical contacts so that oral hygiene can be easily maintained. Separated crowns were also preferred by various authors (7,8,10,15,19,23). However, these patients should be kept of regular follow-ups and meticulous oral hygiene measures should be reinforced.…”
