Prosthodontic rehabilitation of amelogenesis imperfecta in a young adult

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfect (AI) is a complex group of inherited conditions affecting the enamel in both primary and permanent dentitions causing psychological trauma from unaesthetic, worn teeth. A sequenced treatment is described for a young adult with AI with metal-ceramic restorations. The case describes a patient with AI having hypersensitivity, severely worn, and unaesthetic dentition. Authors treated the patient with full-mouth metal-ceramic restorations after achieving a functional and esthetic occlusal plane using Broderick occlusal plane analyzer. A systematic treatment approach for the patient is described to achieve a long-term clinical success in the case of AI. The systematic treatment of AI as a full-mouth rehabilitation with endodontic therapy after establishing a proper occlusal plane provides long-term prognosis for the patient.
