description Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare genetic condition that affects normal enamel formation of both the primary and permanent dentition. Patients with AI not only present with restorative challenges, but also suffer from extreme hypersensitivity, compromised esthetics, and poor self-esteem. The functional, social, and psychological impairment often leads to an overall lower quality of life. Extensive dental treatment is often required at a young age, therefor early diagnosis, appropriate preventative strategies, and proper dental management is essential for successful treatment outcomes throughout all phases of life. This review presents the dental management and prosthetic reconstruction of patients with amelogenesis imperfecta.
