  • Title: A case of amelogenesis imperfecta of deciduous and all permanent teeth.
    Author: Sekiguchi H, Tanakamaru H, Minaguchi K, Machida Y, Yakushiji M.
    Journal: Bull Tokyo Dent Coll; 2001 Feb; 42(1):45-50. PubMed ID: 11484794.
    Abstract:
    We experienced a case with severe enamel defects of both the deciduous teeth and all the permanent teeth. In order to clarify the etiology of enamel defects in this patient, we performed a DNA analysis in addition to conventional examinations. Although we suspected a variety of systemic factors causing enamel defects, there was no evidence suggesting disturbances of amelogenesis. In the present case, we suspected a mutation in the amelogenin gene and performed nucleotide sequencing of the exons of the amelogenin gene, but we could not find any evidence of mutation. We suggest that a mutation of some other gene related to enamel formation or the adventitious factors contributed to the amelogenesis imperfecta in this case.
