AI Article Synopsis
- - A 20-year-old woman with type I hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta experienced aesthetic issues and sensitivity, prompting a complete mouth rehabilitation using a fully digital workflow.
- - An interdisciplinary approach included a multigene panel analysis and digital scans to guide minimally invasive dental preparations, resulting in interim restorations made of high-performance polycarbonate and final restorations in translucent zirconia.
- - This efficient treatment plan not only addressed her dental concerns but also enhanced her understanding of her genetic condition, highlighting the importance of genetics in her treatment, with a strong follow-up plan to ensure long-term success.
Article Abstract
A 20-year-old woman with type I hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) experiencing esthetic concerns and hypersensitivity is presented. The treatment was aimed at both functional and esthetic aspects, focusing on complete mouth rehabilitation using a fully digital workflow. In an interdisciplinary approach, a multigene panel analysis was performed. Digital intraoral scans and a face scan facilitated precise virtual planning, guiding minimally invasive preparations. Long-term interim restorations milled from high-performance polycarbonate preceded definitive restorations in translucent zirconia. This approach resulted in a time- and cost-efficient treatment, helped the patient to understand her disease by highlighting the pivotal role of genetics, and demonstrated the success of collaborative dental interventions. A strict recall program will be most important for the long-term success of this patient with AI and a pathogenic frameshift variant in the AMELX gene.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects the enamel of teeth, which can lead to problems in both baby and adult teeth, sometimes linked with other health issues.
- - A rare condition called enamel renal syndrome occurs when amelogenesis imperfecta is found alongside kidney stones, which complicates diagnosis due to unclear criteria.
- - The case of a 12-year-old boy with tooth discoloration and kidney stones highlights the importance of thorough medical evaluations to avoid serious complications from these conditions.
