Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a tooth disorder characterized by the abnormal development of the enamel in response to mutations in the genes involved in amelogenesis. The objective of this article is to present the clinical case of a child with AI in the primary dentition phase. A 4-year-old boy was presented to a clinic by his mother, who complained that her son's smile esthetics were compromised by "weak and yellow teeth." All the teeth showed yellowish discoloration as well as crumbling or missing enamel. Due to the absence of carious lesions and the presence of normal pulp in the teeth, it was decided to restore the dentition with indirect crowns of ceramic-optimized polymer, also known as ceromer. No preparations were performed on the teeth. For this patient, indirect ceromer restorations presented a good treatment option for the rehabilitation of primary teeth affected by AI.
釉质发育不全（AI）是一种牙齿疾病，其特征是由于参与釉质形成的基因突变，导致釉质发育异常。本文的目的是介绍一名处于乳牙列期患有AI的儿童的临床病例。一名4岁男孩由母亲带到一家诊所，母亲抱怨儿子的笑容美观因“牙齿脆弱发黄”而受到影响。所有牙齿均呈现发黄变色，以及釉质碎裂或缺失。由于牙齿无龋损且牙髓正常，决定用陶瓷优化聚合物间接冠（也称为瓷聚体）修复牙列。未对牙齿进行预备。对于该患者，间接瓷聚体修复是治疗受AI影响的乳牙的良好选择。
