Description
Summary:Abstract Amelogenesis Imperfecta has been defined as a group of hereditary enamel defects not associated with evidence of systemic disease. Restoration for patients with this condition should be oriented toward the functional and esthetic rehabilitation and the protection of these teeth. The specific objectives of the treatment were to enhance esthetics, eliminate tooth sensitivity and restore masticatory function. Management of a patient with skeletal class III malocclusion and Amleogenesis Imperfecta is a challenge for the clinician. Surgical correction of the skeletal class III malocclusion, orthodontic therapy followed by full mouth rehabilitation as a multidisciplinary approach is vital for the functional rehabilitation of the patient.
