Amelogenesis Imperfecta- Restoring the Confidence Back: A Case Report of Complete Oral Rehabilitation
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 5
Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta is a term commonly used for a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of conditions that affect the enamel formation and maturation. The biggest challenge in management of patients suffering with amelogenesis imperfecta is to restore esthetic, function and occlusal stability while conserving remaining tooth structure as much as possible. The goal of treatment should be to prolong the life of patient’s tooth and to prevent or delay the extraction and prosthetic replacement. This article presents a case of amelogenesis imperfecta cosmetically rehabilitated by direct composite veneers.
