Amelogenesis imperfecta and localised aggressive periodontitis: A rare clinical entity

Abstract

This case report presents two female patients whose chief complaint was discoloration of teeth. On careful clinical examination it was found that the patients had features of amelogenesis imperfecta and localised aggressive periodontitis. This article will give an insight of clinical and radiographic features of amelogenesis imperfecta with localised aggressive periodontitis, which is a rare clinical entity.

A Conservative Rehabilitation of Amelogenesis Imperfecta

“…Some authors have reported that genetic mappings can be a useful tool in identifying to which AI group a patient belongs. [9][10][11][12] First, one has to exclude the presence of systemic diseases that may show generalized enamel hypoplasia. Secondly, it enables affected families to seek genetic counseling.…”

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with localized aggressive periodontitis and amelogenesis imperfecta

“…Several untoward events may disrupt proper enamel formation including poor nutrition, trauma, and infections both pre-and post-natal. Amelogenesis imperfect is a term used to describe a wide range of hereditary enamel defects, and can be generally subdivided into hypoplastic, hypomaturation and hypocalcification forms, with different histological and often clinical characteristics for each (Witkop 1957;Gundannavar et al 2013).…”
