Permanent crowns are often delayed by dentists until early adulthood, when all the teeth are present and stable. Orthodontic treatment People with amelogenesis often need orthodontic treatment, such as braces or appliances. [healthline.com]

• Inflammation

  Rough enamel is associated with dental plaque retention, increasing gingival inflammation and pain. Hypomineralized enamel is the most severe form: once occlusion is established, teeth wear quickly inducing large tissue losses. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]

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

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

With such evidence, clinicians may then select more favorable approaches to treat individual AI patient and to optimize their patient’s oral health and long-term prognosis. REFERENCES 1. Witkop CJ. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Care should be taken to prevent soft enamel from chipping and to decrease the chances of gouging exposed dentin. • Subgingival curettage can be performed in deep pockets, taking care that soft cementum not be removed excessively. • Complete restoration [aegisdentalnetwork.com]

Early screening for these abnormalities should be done so that interceptive treatment can be rendered to prevent further damages to the developing affected dentition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
