The term amelogenesis imperfecta is applied to a clinically heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders that interfere with the normal development of dental enamel. These disorders cause a deficiency in the enamel's quantity and/or the quality that may result in poor dental esthetics. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta in an 8-year-old girl whose dissatisfaction with the appearance of her teeth led to impaired social functioning. Since the patient was in the mixed dentition stage, a temporary treatment aiming to improve dental esthetics, preserve oral function, and allow for the recovery of the patient's self-confidence was performed by a multidisciplinary team.
釉质发育不全这一术语适用于一组临床上异质性的遗传性疾病，这些疾病会干扰牙釉质的正常发育。这些疾病会导致牙釉质在数量和/或质量上的缺陷，进而可能导致牙齿美观度不佳。本文的目的是描述一名8岁女孩的发育不全型釉质发育不全病例，她对自己牙齿外观的不满导致社交功能受损。由于该患者处于混合牙列期，一个多学科团队进行了旨在改善牙齿美观、保留口腔功能并恢复患者自信心的临时治疗。
