Case Report. An 8-year-old girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) reported unsatisfactory aesthetics, difficulty in mastication, and dental hypersensitivity. The intraoral examination observed mixed dentition, malocclusion in anteroposterior relationships, anterior open bite, and dental asymmetry. A hypoplastic form of AI was diagnosed in the permanent dentition. A multidisciplinary planning was performed and divided into preventive, orthopedic, and rehabilitation stages. Initially, preventive treatment was implemented, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. In the second stage, the patient received an interceptive orthopedic treatment to improve cross-relationship of the arches during six months. Finally, the rehabilitation treatment was executed to establish the vertical dimension. In the posterior teeth, indirect composite resin crowns were performed with minimally invasive dental preparation. Direct composite resin restorations were used to improve the appearance of anterior teeth.Follow-Up. The follow-up was carried out after 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. After 18 months of follow-up, The restoration of integrity, oral hygiene, and patient satisfaction were observed .Conclusion. Successful reduction of the dental hypersensitivity and improvement of the aesthetic and functional aspects as well as quality of life were observed.

ABSTRACT Amelogenesis imperfecta is a rare hereditary disorder that affects dental enamel and is often associated with an anterior open bite. Orthodontic treatment of a 16-year-old female patient with hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta and a 9-mm anterior open bite was presented. Radiographic examination revealed a steep mandibular plane angle, an increased lower face height, a Class II skeletal pattern, and a convex profile. Additionally, the patient had stainless steel crowns on all upper and lower posterior teeth and composite veneers on the upper anterior teeth. The patient was treated nonsurgically using a multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW). MEAW mechanics allowed for successful correction of the anterior open bite, with significant reduction in the mandibular plane angle and improvement in the patient's profile. No fixed retainers were used, results remained stable 78 months after removal of orthodontic appliances. MEAW mechanics should be considered for patients with large anterior open bites, although this technique requires excellent patient compliance.

Tooth Structure

During odontogenesis, enamel is normally synthesized as an extracellular matrix, a phenomenon known as amelogenesis. The failure of this process can lead to malformation of dental enamel, called Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI). AI, by causing a qualitative and/or quantitative deficiency of dental enamel, presents characteristics such as hypersensitivity, unsatisfactory aesthetics, reduced vertical dimension, anterior open bite, plaque accumulation, and greater susceptibility to caries and gingivitis. Thus, our objective is to report a case of AI, describing the main characteristics of the disease, the diagnosis and the rehabilitative treatment plan, aiming to improve the patient's aesthetics and reestablishing the function of the stomatognathic system. Patient M.A.S.B., female, 5 years old, leucoderma, was admitted at the University of Patos de Minas Dental Clinic with a complaint of pain in the teeth. During the clinical interview, the person in charge reported that the child's teeth had the same defects as those of her mother and brother. During clinical examination it was observed: generalized loss of tooth structure, color change, rough surfaces and hypersensitivity. Treatment involved restorations with glass ionomer cement and composite resin, extraction of residual roots from the maxillary incisors, and confection of a functional and aesthetic space maintainer. Early diagnosis associated with the correct treatment plan is essential for a more conservative approach focused on preventing the effects of AI. In advanced cases, restoring function and aesthetics is paramount to improve the patient's quality of life.

A 12-year-old female patient presented with diffusely enlarged fibrous gingivae, enamel hypoplasia, an anterior open bite and impacted permanent maxillary canines (Figures 1-4). The patient's mother reported that the child had an unremarkable medical history and was currently not taking any medications. Radiographic examination showed features of amelogenesis imperfecta affecting all erupted teeth and the impacted permanent maxillary canines (Figure 4). The clinical differential diagnosis included hereditary gingival fibromatosis or diffuse peripheral odontogenic fibromas involving both the maxilla and mandible. Gin-givectomies from the anterior maxillary and mandibular regions were performed and submitted for histological assessment.

ABSTRACT Aim To present a case of multidisciplinary management and fixed rehabilitation of a young girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a severe open bite and occlusal instability. Background AI is a genetic disorder characterized by enamel malformations, disturbances in tooth eruption and significant attrition. Early diagnosis is essential, since rapid breakdown of tooth structure may occur, giving rise to acute symptoms and complicated treatment. As AI is frequently accompanied by unesthetic appearance, open bite deformity and malocclusion, a multidisciplinary approach is often required. Case report This clinical report describes the condition and presents the case of a 10-year-old girl with hypocalcified form of AI. Orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery were performed as part of the prosthetic treatment plan to achieve acceptable and durable results. They consisted of correcting class II, posterior crossbite and anterior open bite with a fixed orthodontic appliance, Lefort I osteotomy, bilateral mandibular ramus osteotomy and genioplasty. Prosthodontics treatment consisted of metal-ceramic crowns with low-fusing ceramic for good long-term results. No deterioration in the rehabilitation was found after 5 years of follow-up. Conclusion Complete restoration of severe AI is a long and complex process generally extending over several years. Clinical significance This article shows the important role of interdisciplinary approach to treating a patient with AI over a period of 8 years. How to cite this article Millet C, Duprez JP.

Anterior Open Bite

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) affects enamel on primary and permanent dentition. This hereditary disorder is characterized by loss of enamel, poor esthetics, and hypersensitivity. Functional and cosmetic rehabilitation is challenging with variety of treatment options. This report presents the treatment of an AI patient using conventional fixed dentures and discusses issues related to posttreatment complications and prosthetic treatment outcome after 1 year of follow-up. A 19-year-old male AI patient with impaired self-esteem presented with hypersensitive, discolored, and mutilated teeth. Clinical examination revealed compromised occlusion and anterior open-bite. After hygiene maintenance full-coverage porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed restorations were indicated and applied. At the end of the treatment acceptable functional and esthetic results could be achieved. However, nearly a year after treatment a gingival inflammation in the esthetic zone complicated the outcome. Insufficient oral hygiene was to be blamed. Tooth sensitivity present from early childhood in these patients may prevent oral hygiene from becoming a habit. The relaxation due to relieve of hypersensitivity after treatment makes oral hygiene learning difficult. Continuous oral hygiene maintenance motivation may be crucial for the success of the treatment of AI patients. Treatment of AI patients should be carefully planned and an acceptable risk-benefit balance should be established.
