Oral rehabilitation of primary dentition affected by amelogenesis imperfecta
The purpose of the case report was to describe the treatment of a 4(1/2)-year-old boy with amelogenesis imperfect (AI) in the primary dentition.
AI is a hereditary condition that affects the development of enamel, causing quantity, structural, and compositional anomalies involving all dentitions.
Consequently, the effects can extend to both the primary and secondary dentitions.
A 4(1/2)-year-old boy was brought to the dental clinic complaining of tooth hypersensitivity during meals. The medical history and clinical examination were used to arrive at the diagnosis of amelogenesis imperfecta.

The treatment was oral rehabilitation of the primary molars with stainless steel crowns and resin-filled celluloid forms of both maxillary and mandibular primary incisors and canines.
Improvements in the patient's psychological behavior and the elimination of tooth sensitiveness were observed, and the reestablishment of a normal occlusion resulted in improved eating habits.
