Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Review

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a diverse collection of inherited diseases that exhibit quantitative or qualitative tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations. This entity can present a variety of clinical presentation varies from hypoplastic, hypomaturative to hypocalcified which are the result of various genetic mutations. AI can present with a vast variety of features in single entity, so detailed knowledge of genetic mutations regarding AI, diagnostic, radiographic features, and different treatment modalities are mandatory while dealing these cases. We are presenting a review article on AI, mainly focused on its clinical presentation, genetic background, and its treatment modalities.
