Early Ceramic Crown Intervention in Adolescents With Severe Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Clinical Case Series

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary developmental disorder that affects the enamel of teeth. Patients with AI require frequent replacements of fillings, which causes considerable distress for those affected. In this series, three cases of severe AI were treated with a total of 68 ceramic crowns (IPS e.max Press) during early adolescence. After therapy, oral health-related quality of life improved. No endodontic complications were recorded during a follow-up period of 4 to 6 years. Early restorative treatment with ceramic crowns for children with severe AI appears to be an excellent treatment alternative.
