“…The subtypes of hypoplastic AI have been divided into generalized and localized pitted, diffuse smooth and rough as well as enamel agenesis. 15 The effects of AI have been observed in both deciduous and permanent dentition disrupting the quantitative and qualitative content of enamel.16 There was no family history in our case study, hence hereditary inheritance was discarded. Although the patient provided a history of asthma since childhood, she had a habit of consuming soft drinks often.…”

Background: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) comprises a group of hereditary disorders affecting the structure of enamel. Although many etiological factors have been implicated for the cause of these disorders, some of the systemic conditions such as asthma and dietary factors like intake of soft drinks have been correlated with AI. Case presentation: This work is a clinical report of a 14-year-old girl who was diagnosed with hypoplastic type of AI. The patient had a history of asthma and she complained of dry mouth. She required replacement of her stainless steel crowns and wanted esthetic smile. In addition, she was advised composite restorations and fabrication of removable overlay upper and lower dentures. Conclusion: The current case report implicated that AI could be associated with conditions such as asthma; However, future research on molecular, functional, and genetic aspects of AI integrating the inflammatory response of Asthma may help in preventing the enamel defects. Implementation of dental care for this structured population may help in preventing dental complication due to increased risk.

“…Only a few cracks could be seen in the roots transversally and may likely have occurred after death. If the teeth had been made fragile during the infant’s life by an alteration of the enamel thickness and/or its microstructure, the tooth crowns would have very likely broken off as seen in modern clinical cases 35 , 36 , 62 , 63 (See Fig. 5 ).…”

Childhood is an ontogenetic stage unique to the modern human life history pattern. It enables the still dependent infants to achieve an extended rapid brain growth, slow somatic maturation, while benefitting from provisioning, transitional feeding, and protection from other group members. This tipping point in the evolution of human ontogeny likely emerged from early Homo. The GAR IVE hemi-mandible (1.8 Ma, Melka Kunture, Ethiopia) represents one of the rarely preserved early Homo infants (~ 3 years at death), recovered in a richly documented Oldowan archaeological context. Yet, based on the sole external inspection of its teeth, GAR IVE was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease–amelogenesis imperfecta (AI)–altering enamel. Since it may have impacted the child’s survival, this diagnosis deserves deeper examination. Here, we reassess and refute this diagnosis and all associated interpretations, using an unprecedented multidisciplinary approach combining an in-depth analysis of GAR IVE (synchrotron imaging) and associated fauna. Some of the traits previously considered as diagnostic of AI can be better explained by normal growth or taphonomy, which calls for caution when diagnosing pathologies on fossils. We compare GAR IVE’s dental development to other fossil hominins, and discuss the implications for the emergence of childhood in early Homo.

Background Rehabilitation of the entire dentition with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) tends to pose a great challenge to the clinician. Most of the cases of amelogenesis imperfecta are reported to be associated with skeletal and dental deformities which results in severe sensitivity of the dental tissues. Case presentation This clinical case report marks out the total restoration of the oral condition of a young Indian patient diagnosed with the hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta. Fixed metal ceramic prosthesis were planned to strengthen the masticatory activity, aesthetics, to banish the dental sensitivity and to build up the general persona of the patient. The patient was followed-up at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years intervals. Functional and esthetic impairment was not visible after the follow up period and the treatment outcome was successful. The entire treatment plan was intended to enhance the functional, esthetic and the masticatory component of the occlusal architecture. Conclusion This case report details the presentation, characteristic radiographic findings, and management of a patient with an extremely rare condition of amelogenesis imperfecta.
