Abstract:
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) comprises a vast group of
developmental alterations in the quantity and/or quality of
enamel, unaffected by systemic disorders.
In this case report we describe the typical clinical and
radiographic features of AI with multiple impacted teeth
and altered eruption pathways. Patients with AI benefit
from early diagnosis and treatment to prevent tooth
loss and loss of vertical dimension.
Optimal management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary
approach and regular dental recall appointments.
Therefore it is the oral health clinician’s responsibility
for the timeous identification of this condition.
