Abstract

To report a case of oral rehabilitation of a patient diagnosed with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta. A 18-year-old female with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta presented for prosthodontic treatment to eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics and restoring masticatory function. Treatment included, lengthening of the maxillary and mandibular clinical crowns, and placement of metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures. The 1-year recall examination revealed no pathology associated with the rehabilitation, and the patient's esthetic and functional expectations were satisfied. For successful prosthodontic therapy, the clinician should be aware of all condition of patient.
