Amelogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disease that disturbs the formation of the enamel. It can occur as 2 main types, hypocalcification and hypoplasia. Enamel hypocalcification is a defect in the mineralization; hypoplasia is a defect in the formation of the enamel matrix. Both deciduous and permanent teeth are affected, and the disorder may create unesthetic appearance, dental sensitivity, and attrition. Numerous treatments have been described for rehabilitation of amelogenesis imperfecta in adults 1 Rada ER Hasiakos PS.
