| Summary: | Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of conditions caused by over 15 different genes that affects the development of dental enamel and poses some challenges to dentists. An adult patient with amelogenesis imperfecta with severe changes in tooth color and reduction of occlusal vertical dimension sought dental treatment. Diagnostic wax-up was carried out to guide the stratification of a nanoparticulate resin for the restorative treatment. Direct composite resin restorations were applied on all teeth for modification of both esthetics and occlusion. After a 2-year follow-up, the findings appear to suggest that composite resin is a low-cost alternative when compared with indirect ceramic restorations, provides a good esthetic outcome, and offers considerable longevity for cases like the one reported herein. |
