 different subtypes

A

 A large group of hereditary conditions that show alterations in the enamel in the absence of systemic disease

31
Q

Amelogenesis imperfecta
 Alterations in the enamel may arise when? results?
 inheritance?
 Affects which dentition

A

Amelogenesis imperfecta
 Alterations in the enamel may arise at any of the following stages:
 Matrix formation: Hypoplastic
 Mineralization of matrix: hypocalcified
 Maturation of the enamel: hypomaturation
 AD, AR, X-linked inheritance
 Affects deciduous and permanent dentition

32
Q

AI clinical features based on types

A

Hypoplastic type: may see pits, rows of missing enamel

 Hypocalcified type: enamel is soft, “cheesy”, easily lost
 Yellow, brown, orange

 Hypomaturation type: enamel is soft, not as soft as hypocalcified type
 Opaque white, brown
