An open bite tends to be present. Type 3 (hypocalcified): Similar to characteristics present in Type 2, but the enamel appears more chalky and tartar can build up quickly. The enamel is soft and can be quickly damaged. [verywellhealth.com]

The current medical history of the patient do not present further systemic alterations, and she is not under any medication. Moreover, the patient presents adequate weight and height according to the physical growth curve of her age group. [revodonto.bvsalud.org]

• Tooth Loss

  A Word From Verywell Beyond the altered appearance, problems with the enamel of teeth can lead to significant discomfort, increased sensitivity, and damage that may ultimately cause tooth loss. The social impacts may also be significant. [verywellhealth.com]

  Aesthetics, pain or tooth breakdown were the major patient complaints. Restorative to prosthodontic dentistry must be done in order to maintain oral function and growth preventing tooth loss and allowing oral hygiene maintenance. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]

• Yellow Teeth

  Clinical examination of the patient revealed yellow teeth with absence of enamel, attrition of the posterior teeth especially on the left side being more pronounced in the mandibular teeth, reduced clinical height of the teeth, marginal gingivitis, and [sidj.org]

  Enamel was dark yellow in permanent teeth and brown in primary teeth. Some enamel breaks were observed in posterior teeth. A severe open bite was observed, associated with only occlusal contacts on first permanent molars and second primary molars. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]

• Microdontia

  Enamel was reduced in thickness and severely hypoplastic, giving the idea of a false microdontia with multiple diastemas. Molars were the most affected teeth showing reduced crown height. [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]

The teeth are often discolored and an open bite prevents the teeth from meeting. Type 2 (hypomaturation): The enamel of the teeth is often discolored with a rough, pitted texture but normal thickness. [verywellhealth.com]

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]

Occasionally, space maintainers may be indicated to prevent tipping of adjacent teeth into the space. [nature.com]

In the course of the following appointments, the primary teeth with advanced root resorption – which prevented good oral hygiene – were extracted. All of the procedures were preceded by fluoride tooth brushing. [revodonto.bvsalud.org]
