Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta refers to a group of hereditary diseases that affect dental enamel, often leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations and aesthetic concerns. This case report describes a female patient diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta associated with a skeletal open bite. The treatment approach was multidisciplinary. Periodontal therapy was initiated, followed by orthodontic treatment using brackets on temporary crowns to expand and coordinate the maxillary and mandibular arches. Subsequently, orthognathic surgery, including a LeFort I osteotomy and genioplasty, was performed. The fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation performed with metal-ceramic crowns was the last step of the treatment. The final result was both functionally and esthetically satisfactory for the patient.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Medicine and Life publishes peer-reviewed articles from various fields of medicine and life sciences, including original research, systematic reviews, special reports, case presentations, major medical breakthroughs and letters to the editor. The Journal focuses on current matters that lie at the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice and strives to present this information to inform health care delivery and improve patient outcomes. Papers addressing topics such as neuroprotection, neurorehabilitation, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration are particularly encouraged, as part of the Journal''s continuous interest in neuroscience research. The Editorial Board of the Journal of Medicine and Life is open to consider manuscripts from all levels of research and areas of biological sciences, including fundamental, experimental or clinical research and matters of public health.
