A Treatment Approach for a Young Patient with Severe Amelogenesis Imperfecta Kenan Cantekin, Huseyin Simsek, Ibrahim Sevki Buyukbayrakdar Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey Abstract Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary disorder that affects the dental enamel on primary and.
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary developmental disorder affecting deposition, calcification, or maturation of dental enamel. In general, it affects all or nearly all of the teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions leading to functional as well as esthetic inadequacies.
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a group of developmental conditions, genomic in origin, which affect the structure and clinical appearance of enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner, and which may be associated with morphologic or biochemical changes elsewhere in the body. The prevalence varies from 1:700 to 1:14,000, according to the populations studied.
The diagnosis of enamel renal syndrome with associated amelogenesis imperfecta, nephrolithiasis and hypocitraturia was made in this case, as most of the criteria were fulfilled, nephrolithiasis was evident in the ultrasound, and hypocitraturia was observed in the urine analysis.
Dental Decease: Amelogenesis Imperfecta.. Witkop, 1976). The purpose of this experiment was to further investigate the enamel proteins in various types of amelogenesis imperfecta and to fully deduce if amelogenin was retained in the fully developed amelogenesis imperfect enamel. The primary Biochemical method used in this study was the SDS.
Classification of Amelogenesis Imperfecta according to Witkop (1988). Hypoplastic Hypoplastic, pitted autosomal dominant. was based on the genetic inheritance pattern of the disorder and on clinical manifestations based on Witkop’s classification (Table 1) (1) (4). After clinical examination, all four patients were diagnosed with.
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a collection of inherited disorders, which are clinically heterogeneous and exhibit tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations (1). AI generally affects all or nearly all teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions (2).
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited disorders primary affecting the structural of enamel. Patients with AI experience poor esthetic, excessive tooth sensitivity and compromised chewing function that dental treatments are frequently required at early age.
Table 1 Classification of amelogenesis imperfecta according Witkop and Sauk (1976) Diagnosis is by eliminating the environmental factors such as fluorosis, trauma, exanthematous fever, hypocalcemia, or hypoplasia due to calcium deficiency as the cause, admitted in inheritance pattern, and phenotype.

Amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta and dentin.
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a diverse collection of inherited diseases that exhibit quantitative or qualitative tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations. This entity can present a variety of clinical presentation varies from hypoplastic, hypomaturative to hypocalcified which are the result of various genetic mutations.
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a group of hereditary developmental defects of tooth enamel. It is mainly an autosomal dominant disease, but autosomal recessive, X- linked and sporadic cases also do occur.
INTRODUCTION Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a group of inherited conditions that affect the structure and appearance of the enamel of all or nearly all the teeth, with a prevalence in the United States of approximately one in 14,000. 1,2 The variable range of AI enamel defects involves abnormalities that are classified as hypoplastic (defect in quantity of enamel), hypomaturation.
