Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Conservative and Progressive Adhesive Treatment Concept

Abstract

SUMMARY Objective The aim of this study was to present a case report of a patient affected by amelogenesis imperfecta showing a possible minimal and conservative adhesive treatment approach. Clinical Procedure A treatment philosophy of amelogenesis imperfecta is illustrated by means of a case report of a 14-year-old boy who consulted us for a full mouth rehabilitation. Discussion This clinical report describes step by step how to manage a case of amelogenesis imperfecta from childhood over time. Significance This kind of minimally invasive, progressive approach allows the conservation of maximum tooth substance together with an acceptable esthetic outcome.

Ceramic Veneers and Direct-Composite Cases of Amelogenesis Imperfecta Rehabilitation

“…7 Several studies have illustrated the use of all-ceramic crowns, 4,10,11 but other authors have described less invasive treatments, including composite resin and laminate veneers. 9,12,13 Composite resin is able to mimic tooth color through anatomical stratification and proper placement of tints and opaquers, to enhance the esthetic value. The long-term success of direct composites may depend on patient selection, cavity location and size, material choice, and operative technique.…”

Case Report: A Predictable Technique to Establish Occlusal Contact in Extensive Direct Composite Resin Restorations: The DSO-Technique

“…21 However, clinical studies on restorative treatment of patients in increased VDO with indirect techniques are absent, and evidence is limited to case reports. 10,16,22 Although some clinical evidence is present that this technique is working in clinical dentistry, long-term results are still questionable, and some concerns that might arise must be addressed. sealant retention and adhesive bridge retention, rubber dam plays a positive role in success rates, 23,24 but a 10-year study comparing clinical survival of posterior composite restorations placed either with cotton rolls or with a rubber dam isolation method showed no differences in clinical outcome.…”

Molar incisor hypomineralization: an aesthetic conservative restorative approach

“…Developmental disturbances of tooth enamel, such as hypomineralization and hypoplasia, are structural anomalies which can affect both deciduous and permanent dentition 1 . Hypomineralization is a qualitative defect of dental tissues when clinically there is an abnormality in translucency, with smooth Against such a background, the aim of this study is to present a clinical case involving an aesthetic and conservative restoration approach to anterior teeth with molar incisor hypomineralization in a patient with low self-esteem.…”
