Preterm birth children comprise about 6% of live births around the world. It is known that premature children exhibit oral anomalies that could affect the function and/or appearance of their dentition in addition to their medical needs. A diagnosis of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) can present a challenge for both the patient and the treating clinician. This can be more complicated in the case of child treatment, where cooperation and some of the treatment modalities for adults can not be considered. Conventional management of such children is not possible due to the ongoing process of growth and development and the ability of the child to cope with the extensive and lengthy treatment procedure. This article highlights a minimally invasive method for managing AI using adhesive and full-coverage restoration that requires no tooth preparation; this allows the structural integrity of the teeth to be maintained, along with their vitality. As a result, the child will have teeth with better function and aesthetic, to improve eating, appearance, and self-confidence.
早产儿童约占全球活产儿的6%。众所周知,早产儿除了有医疗需求外,还存在口腔异常,可能会影响其牙列的功能和/或外观。牙釉质发育不全(AI)的诊断对患者和治疗临床医生来说都是一项挑战。在儿童治疗中,情况可能会更复杂,因为无法考虑成人的合作方式和一些治疗模式。由于儿童持续的生长发育过程以及他们应对广泛而漫长治疗程序的能力,对这类儿童进行传统治疗是不可能的。本文重点介绍一种使用粘结剂和全覆盖修复来管理AI的微创方法,该方法无需牙体预备;这样可以保持牙齿的结构完整性及其活力。因此,儿童的牙齿将具有更好的功能和美观,以改善饮食、外观和自信心。
