Abstract

Problem considered: This clinical report describes the prosthodontic treatment of an 18-year-old female diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta.

Materials and method: The specific objectives of the treatment were to restore esthetics and masticatory function. Metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures were fabricated at the existing vertical dimension of occlusion utilizing the PMS occlusal scheme.

Results: Clinical examination of the patient 12 months after treatment revealed no evidence of disease or degeneration of the restored teeth.

Conclusion: The patient's esthetic and functional expectations were satisfied.

Keywords: Amelogenesis imperfecta; Full mouth rehabilitation; Hypocalcification; Hypomaturation; Hypoplasia.
