Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects the structure of enamel and consequently the function, esthetics, and psychology of young patients. Restoring the dentition of a child with minimal tooth preparation is achievable with polymer-infiltrated ceramics. The treatment of a 12-year-old child presenting with amelogenesis imperfecta is described. An in-office computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system and polymer-infiltrated ceramic blocks were used in a noninvasive procedure. The definitive clinical outcome showed a major esthetic improvement and allowed for the normal eruption of the permanent dentition.
釉质发育不全是一种遗传性疾病，影响釉质的结构，进而影响年轻患者的功能、美观和心理。通过聚合物渗透陶瓷可以实现最小牙体预备的儿童牙齿修复。介绍了一例釉质发育不全儿童的治疗。在非侵入性治疗中使用了椅旁计算机辅助设计和计算机辅助制造（CAD-CAM）系统和聚合物渗透陶瓷块。最终的临床结果显示出明显的美观改善，并允许恒牙正常萌出。
