Abstract:
Amelogenesis imperfecta is a rare genetic disorder that affects tooth enamel. Enamel formation is significantly reduced, and the enamel that forms is generally soft and prone to decay, wear, and fractures. This tends to cause sensitivity, functional concerns, poor esthetics, and an impacted quality of life.



Case Report: This presentation discusses a 14-year-old male patient who presented to UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital for dental treatment due to amelogenesis imperfecta. The patient does not have any other significant medical history. This condition is also seen in the family history, as the patient’s mother has the same diagnosis. The chief concern was addressing sensitivity across the entire dentition as well as esthetics. Initial clinical exam revealed generalized malformed enamel, no carious lesions, unerupted #1, 15, 16, 17, 18, 31, 32, retained #H and R, and no missing or supernumerary teeth. This case report will discuss the clinical and radiographic findings associated with this case of amelogenesis imperfecta. It will review the various treatment options, the risks and benefits of each, and how the accepted treatment will be completed. The long-term sequelae associated with amelogenesis imperfecta, along with the need for ongoing multidisciplinary care, will also be discussed.
