Amelogenesis imperfecta is a broad classification of hereditary enamel defects, exhibiting both genetic and clinical diversity. Most amelogenesis imperfecta cases are autosomal dominant disorders, yet only the local hypoplastic form has been mapped to human chromosome 4q between D4S242 1 and the albumin gene. An enamel protein cDNA, termed ameloblastin (also known as amelin and sheathlin), has ...

amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of genetic disorders that affects both the morphology and quality of tooth structure. although the disease entity is primarily associated with abnormalities of dental and oral structures, it has been reported to be associated with a few syndromes. a 9-year-old girl with minor thalassemia referred to the department of pediatric dentistry of the mashhad faculty ...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by abnormal enamel formation. This article outlines the treatment aspect for rehabilitation of occlusion using telescopic overdenture for a patient having amelogensis imperfecta.

The diagnosis of Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) in a young patient can present many complex restorative and orth odontic challenges for the pediatric dentist. These patients have traditionally been treated with a combination of extractions, composite bonding, stainless steel crowns, adhesive castings, over-dentures, and porcelain veneers. They often have anterior open bites or vertical deep bites...

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary disorder displaying group of conditions which cause developmental alterations in the structure enamel. The adverse effects it has on oral health and quality life individual warrants identification contributing factors for excessive wear loss vertical dimension. Extensive restorative treatment imperative correction such severely worn out dentition. Rehabil...

BACKGROUND Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a disorder of tooth development where there is an abnormal formation of enamel or the external layer of teeth. The aim of this study was to screen mutations in the four most important candidate genes, ENAM, KLK4, MMP20 and FAM83H responsible for amelogenesis imperfect. METHODS Geneomic DNA was isolated from five Iranian families with 22 members affec...

Amelogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant disorder. It is a group of hereditary diseases showing abnormal enamel density and crown malformation. This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a young adult diagnosed with a variant of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with multiple impacted teeth and skeletal class III malocclusion. The treatment procedures of teeth extractio...

This clinical report describes a male with autosomal recessive generalized hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta. This case is unusual in coronal resorptions prior to tooth eruption. This finding has been reported in some cases of autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant and X linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In reported cases, the defects were usually small and occurred in a maximum of 2 teet...

AIM The aim of this study was oral rehabilitation of 17-year old patient with amelogenesis imperfecta using removable overlay denture in order to satisfy her esthetic and functional expectations and enhance her self-image. BACKGROUND Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the quality and quantity of amelogenesis in both primary and permanent dentiti...
