| Popis: | An unpleasant smile will not only hamper the looks of the person but also leaves a social withdrawal from the society specially for teenagers. Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is one such condition which affects not only the teeth but to overall social and psychological growth of a person. This clinical case deals with step-by-step procedures involved with multidisciplinary approach to deal with such cases in a short period of time with reduced financial burden over the patient. Amelogenesis imperfecta is a heterogeneous inherited disorder that disturbs the developing enamel structure and exists independent of any related systemic disorder. It affects both the primary and permanent dentitions. Transmission of the gene is autosomal dominant, recessive or X-linked mode of inheritance. Clinical findings of AI include Enamel deficiencies, pulpal calcification, root malformations, failed tooth eruption, impaction of permanent teeth, progressive root and crown resorption, congenitally missing teeth, tooth sensitivity. Due to reduced enamel thickness, the teeth are undersized, with lack of contact between adjacent teeth, poor oral hygiene and mouth breathing with associated gingivitis and gingival hyperplasia may also be seen.
