• Dentist

  Your dentist will take X-rays both inside and outside your mouth, but usually the diagnosis can be made by visual examination. A radiographic exam can help your dentist see contrast between the enamel and dentin of your teeth. [healthline.com]

  Locating a Dentist There is no national list of dentists who treat people with OI. Schools of dentistry or the dental department at major medical centers may be helpful in locating dentists who are familiar with OI and DI. [oif.org]

  However, dentists conducting treatment should remember to keep it as simple as possible. [phaa.com]

  Children with AI are not without malocclusions and it is important that a restorative dentist and an orthodontist are involved with the pediatric dentist in the care plan from the child’s early age. [file.scirp.org]

  Dental care for patients suffering from this disease is challenging and requires a good cooperation and understanding between the dentist, the patient, and the patient’s family. [omicsonline.org]

  Key Words : amelogenesis imperfecta, dental anomalies, malocclusion. Introduction Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of hereditary defects of the enamel not associated with any other generalized defect. [blackstar.forp.usp.br]

• Tooth Loss

  Patients suffering from AI are also prone to early tooth loss and/or diseases affecting the periodontal tissues. AI is classified into four types based on the nature of the enamel defect and its appearance on X-ray images. [cags.org.ae]

  Children or adults with AI express varying degree of malocclusions either in the form of crowding, impacted teeth, spacing, retained teeth, reduced vertical height due to abnormal tooth structure or undue tooth loss. [jdrr.org]

Talk to your doctor or orthodontist to see if you or your child has been diagnosed with this condition to find the right treatment options for you. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

In other cases, primary restoration could be done before orthodontic treatment and reassessed at the end of the treatment. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]

Amelogenesis Imperfecta Treatment The treatment of this condition depends on the type of AI that one is suffering from. This can range from providing preventive care, such as the use of Sealants and Bonding treatment. [phaa.com]

Understanding the etiology of hereditary conditions affecting enamel and how the enamel differs from normal (amount and/or composition) will allow clinicians to better advise their patients and select optimal treatment approaches. [uncch.pure.elsevier.com]

The genetic errors alter proteins’ structure or prevent it from being produced. As a result, teeth enamel are thin, softer, and yellowish or brownish hued. Teeth with abnormal enamel are weaker and susceptible to easy breakage. [healthmomma.com]
