Key Clinical Message: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by poorly developed or absent tooth enamel, which complicates orthodontic treatment due to weak enamel-bracket bond strength. This case report presents a successful management of AI using fixed orthodontic appliances and prosthodontic rehabilitation.

Abstract: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) causes enamel defects, complicating oral hygiene, reducing masticatory function and lowering self-esteem. This case report details an 18-year-old female with AI who underwent fixed orthodontic treatment followed by prosthodontic rehabilitation. The multidisciplinary approach restored function and aesthetics, significantly improving her quality of life.

The purpose of this article is to present three cases of a rare phenomenon called pre-eruptive coronal resorption (PCR), which occurs in teeth with enamel degeneration. In the first case, the enamel defects occurred due to ectodermal dysplasia, which represents the first documented case of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia who underwent PCR. In the other two cases, the enamel defects occurred due to amelogenesis imperfecta.

Introduction: Childhood early oral ageing syndrome (CEOAS) is a condition involving oral abnormalities resulting from systemic diseases of different origins that are related to the current lifestyle of the paediatric population. Enamel defects associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors promote the early loss of tooth structure at an accelerated pace, with negative impacts on function, aesthetics and quality of life. The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of early tooth wear in childhood and its severity using the CEOAS index, which is a tool for the diagnosis of the condition and for epidemiological surveys, involving the investigation of abnormalities of the oral cavity in the paediatric population and possible factors associated with the severity of the condition.

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a collection of genetic disorders that impair the structure of dental enamel. The condition presents in a variety of ways, affecting enamel development, mineralization, and maturation. Amelogenesis imperfecta can follow various inheritance patterns, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, sex-linked, and sporadic.
