Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited developmental disorders affecting enamel formation, resulting in structural and esthetic abnormalities of teeth. This case report describes a 19-year-old female with a positive family history suggesting a hereditary pattern.
The patient was treated by a multidisciplinary approach. This report highlights importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning that are essential in managing AI to restore function, improve esthetics, and enhance the patient’s psychological well-being and quality of life.
