Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary malformation showing various manifestations regarding enamel dysplasia. This case report shows a 9-year follow-up after restorative treatment of a 16-year old female patient affected by a hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta. The caries-free, hypersensitive teeth of the patient were restored by direct dentin adhesive composite restorations performed in total etch technique.
After rehabilitation the patient reported a marked improvement of the mastication ability and quality of life especially during food intake. Accumulation of plaque was reduced and the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene was improved. During follow-up of 9 years recurring secondary caries and debonding of fillings were recognized and retreated.
The retrospective assessment exhibits that the performed restorative treatment prolonged the time until further treatment has to be considered, such as prosthetic treatment.
釉质发育不全是一种遗传性畸形,表现为釉质发育不良的各种表现。本病例报告显示了一名患有釉质发育不全的 16 岁女性患者在接受修复治疗后的 9 年随访情况。这名无龋、敏感的患者的牙齿采用全酸蚀技术进行直接牙本质黏结复合修复。
修复治疗后,患者报告咀嚼能力和生活质量有了显著改善,尤其是在进食时。牙菌斑的堆积减少,口腔卫生能力也得到了改善。在 9 年的随访中,发现并治疗了继发龋和填充物脱粘。
