Although amelogenesis imperfecta is not a common dental pathological condition, its etiological, classification, clinical and management aspects have been addressed extensively in the scientific literature. Of special clinical consideration is the frequent co-existence of amelogenesis imperfecta with the anterior open bite. This paper provides an updated review on amelogenesis imperfecta as well as anterior open bite, in general, and documents the association of these two separate entities, in particular. Diagnosis and treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta patients presenting also with anterior open bite require a lengthy, comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, which should aim to successfully address all dental, occlusal, developmental, skeletal and soft tissue problems associated with these two serious clinical conditions.
尽管牙釉质发育不全并非常见的牙齿病理状况，但其病因、分类、临床及治疗方面在科学文献中已有广泛论述。牙釉质发育不全常与前牙开合并存，这一点在临床中尤其值得关注。本文对牙釉质发育不全以及前牙开合进行了全面的综述，并特别记录了这两种独立病症之间的关联。对同时患有牙釉质发育不全和前牙开合的患者进行诊断和治疗，需要采取长期、全面且多学科的方法，旨在成功解决与这两种严重临床病症相关的所有牙齿、咬合、发育、骨骼及软组织问题。
