  • Title: [Amelogenesis imperfecta in young patients].
    Author: Roeters FJ, Frankenmolen FW.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 1997 Feb; 104(2):78-80. PubMed ID: 11924374.
    Abstract:
    Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disturbance in the formation of enamel. The condition can be classified as a hypoplastic type and a hypomineralized type. Both types are normally very inconvenient for the patient and treatment should be started as soon as possible. Dental treatment should aim at maintaining the height of the bite and improvement of occlusal function and esthetics. In a few case presentations the possibilities and limitations of adhesive composite restorations in young patients with amelogenesis imperfecta are discussed.
