Presentation
They present with whitish or light brown discolorations but smooth and hard enamel surfaces. [link.springer.com]
Recently, mutations in solute… Abstract Kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) is a secreted serine protease that degrades residual enamel proteins to facilitate… Presenting acoustic information has become increasingly interesting for technique training [semanticscholar.org]
These types are subdivided into 14 different subtypes based on the clinical presentation and the mode of inheritance. [rareguru.com]
It was the purpose of this article to dwell on this problematic issue and to present a case with a hypomaturation type of AI. [zora.uzh.ch]

At the moment, there is no standard treatment for amelogenesis imperfecta. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition. [healthline.com]

As part of the treatment plan, the treatment alternatives were explained to the child and his parents. The initial treatment was early orthodontic treatment interceptive and minimal intervention. [hindawi.com]
Prognosis
including tooth sensitivity, poor esthetics, dental caries, anterior open bite, advanced dental age and/or failure of dental eruption, pre-eruptive tooth resorption, gingival inflammation, and loss of occlusal vertical dimension, the treatment and prognosis [dentodontics.com]
Along with poor oral hygiene, factors such as patient noncompliance affect the prognosis of prosthetic treatment.4 Esthetic crowns are sometimes used to compensate for soft enamel after thorough oral prophylaxis. [aegisdentalnetwork.com]

In isolated AI (no additional segregating features), mutations in at least 7 genes are known so far, causing dominant, recessive or X-linked AI and allowing the identification of the molecular etiology in 40–50% of affected families. [karger.com]

The syndromic and non-syndromic forms of AI are etiologically related to this mutation. Laminin (formerly laminin V) is a component of basement membranes and comprised 3 subunits. [medcraveonline.com]

Epidemiology[edit] The exact incidence of amelogenesis imperfecta is uncertain. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
A mutation in any one of these genes can prevent it from making the correct protein, leading to enamel that is thin or soft. [healthline.com]
Treatments range from preventive care using sealants and bonding for esthetics to extensive removable and fixed prosthetic reconstruction. [dentodontics.com]
It may one day be practical and highly beneficial to determine the specific AI genotype and associated AI phenotype before rendering treatment to optimize preventive and restorative care. [hindawi.com]
