Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary disorder of enamel formation, affecting both the permanent and deciduous dentitions. It can be classified into hypoplastic, hypomaturation and hypocalcified types and presents with different hereditary patterns. Amelogenesis imperfecta affects the quality and quantity of enamel. Patients usually suffer from oral complications and poor dental esthetics, which directly affect their quality of life. Function and esthetics can be restored with different restorative materials, such as ceramic and composite resin. Dentists need to be aware of the best material to use for each patient.
