Title: A conservative treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta with injectable composites: A case report
Abstract:
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a defect that primarily affects the quality and/or quantity of dental enamel. Rehabilitation of patients affected by amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) presents significant challenges from both a functional and aesthetic perspective, and treatment plans for patients with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) must take into account several factors, including the patient's age, socioeconomic background, and severity of the disorder. In this presentation, we will outline the management of a patient referred to the Department of Dentistry for treatment of her "fragile teeth". The patient's main complaints were extreme sensitivity to hot and cold, dissatisfaction with the appearance of her teeth and impaired masticatory function. The protective measures used in this case successfully reduced further wear, sensitivity and plaque accumulation, while improving the patient's aesthetic appearance. A number of treatment options have been proposed to treat this pathology, but in our case report we describe a direct, conservative and novel approach using Injectable Composite Resin Restorations for the transitional treatment of an adolescent with hypoplastic AI. The use of "injection moulding with injectable composites" has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is a relatively simple procedure that allows a predictable end result to be achieved, even in complex situations, because the morphology can be determined in advance
Keys words: Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI), Adhesion, Injectable Composites.
