Oral Rehabilitation of a Young Adult with Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Clinical Report

This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary approach for the oral rehabilitation of a young adult patient diagnosed with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. The specific objectives of this treatment were to eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics and restoring masticatory function. The reverse horizontal overlap of posterior teeth was maintained. Treatment included removal of few teeth, lengthening of the maxillary and mandibular clinical crowns, and placement of anterior and posterior metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures. The third month recall examination revealed no pathology associated with the rehabilitation, and the patient’s esthetic and functional expectations were satisfied.
