Immediate Desensitization in Teeth Affected by Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to describe a clinical case of immediate dental desensitization using a self-etch adhesive system in an adolescent patient diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). AI was associated with severe tooth sensitivity, treated by the application of a universal adhesive system for desensitization of the teeth affected by AI. Reduction of tooth sensitivity was assessed using a visual analog scale during all reevaluations. The technique was effective for reducing tooth sensitivity. It was concluded that the adhesive system for tooth desensitization had an immediate effect and maintained its effectiveness during a 12-month follow-up period.

Malnutrition, enamel defects, and early childhood caries in preschool children in a sub-urban Nigeria population

“…Studies on fluorosis have been largely limited to the permanent dentition, with reported global prevalence ranging between 6.7% and 32.2% [23] and few studies indicating association between caries and fluorosis in the permanent dentition [24,25]. Caries is also associated with amelogenesis imperfecta in the permanent dentition [26]. There is a scarcity of studies about the association between fluorosis, amelogenesis imperfecta and ECC in Nigeria.…”

Opções de reabilitação oral para pacientes com amelogênese imperfeita: uma revisão de literatura

“…A higiene bucal geralmente apresenta-se insatisfatória devido à sensibilidade apresentada, tornando o paciente mais susceptível ao manchamento por café, cigarro e alimentos. Além das deficiências quantitativas e qualitativas, algumas anomalias podem estar associadas como taurodontismo e má-formação radicular, calcificação pulpar, reabsorção radicular e coronária, falha na erupção e impactação de dentes permanentes ou agenesia, crescimento gengival e doença periodontal, além de problemas oclusais como mordida aberta anterior e posterior (Azevedo, et al, 2013;Moreira, et al, 2016). Quandalle, et al (2020), afirmam que alguns relatos de casos documentaram controle deficiente de placa, acúmulo de cálculo dentário e inflamação gengival entre os pacientes com AI, porém, há poucas informações sobre a sensibilidade e o estado periodontal de pacientes portadores da AI; e que se faz necessário mais estudos acerca das condições periodontais associadas aos diferentes subtipos de AI.…”

“…26 In addition, a self-etch system seemed particularly indicated because of the patient's sensitivities. 27,28 Selective enamel etching was performed in accordance with current recommendations. [29][30][31] A two-step self-etch adhesive could have been preferred to optimize the adhesion durability, 32,33 but it is better to use a cement with its corresponding bonding agent.…”
