Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Review of the Literature
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary group of disorder that causes disturbance in enamel formation resulting in developmental alterations of mineralization. Restoration of the dentition poses a great challenge when all the teeth are severely affected. The treatment opportunities for these patients may help in refining their lifestyle. The total treatment modality aims to relieve the pai...

Defective enamel formation is the defects occurring at the stages of enamel formation. Amelogenesis imperfect (AI) is a hereditary disorder that causes developmental disturbances in the structure of enamel. Quantitative defects in matrix formation leads to hypoplastic form of Amelogenesis imperfecta. Inadequate mineralization of matrix leads to hypocalcification and hypomaturationvariants. It i...
متن کاملHypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta type GI (enamel agenesis): a case report
Background and Aim: Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a hereditary complication that affects the quality and quantity of tooth enamel. This disease usually affects both deciduous and permanent dentition and causes various abnormalities such as unaesthetic appearance, dental sensitivity, and severe attrition. The incidence of this condition is estimated at 1 in 14,000 people. At the moment, there are n...

NTRODUCTION Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a developmental disorder of genomic origin, associated with abnormal enamel formation. Although AI is considered as a single disease entity, it actually represents a group of heterogeneous conditions, with diverse structural defects of enamel resulting in a range of clinical phenotypes. 1 It is characterized by clinical and genetic heterogeneity in th...
متن کاملThe genetics of amelogenesis imperfecta: a review of the literature.
A melogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited defects of dental enamel formation that show both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Enamel findings in AI are highly variable, ranging from deficient enamel formation to defects in the mineral and protein content. Enamel formation requires the expression of multiple genes that transcribes matrix proteins and proteinases needed to control t...
