Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the current data in OVD evaluation and its reestablishment during the treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta patients. Method and Materials: Relevant publications on OVD evaluation in amelogenesis imperfecta patients were thoroughly reviewed from the literature published between the years 1994 and 2014: With no restrictions criteria on the language of publications or the types of articles.
