SUMMARY Objective The aim of this study was to present a case report of a patient affected by amelogenesis imperfecta showing a possible minimal and conservative adhesive treatment approach. Clinical Procedure A treatment philosophy of amelogenesis imperfecta is illustrated by means of a case report of a 14-year-old boy who consulted us for a full mouth rehabilitation. Discussion This clinical report describes step by step how to manage a case of amelogenesis imperfecta from childhood over time. Significance This kind of minimally invasive, progressive approach allows the conservation of maximum tooth substance together with an acceptable esthetic outcome.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) has been defined as a group of hereditary enamel defects. It can be characterized by enamel hypoplasia, hypomaturation, or hypocalcification of the teeth. AI may be associated with some other dental and skeletal developmental defects. Restoration for patients with this condition should be oriented toward the functional and esthetic rehabilitation. This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a young patient diagnosed with the hypoplastic type of AI in posterior teeth and hypomatured type of AI in anterior teeth.

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this case report was to illustrate the clinical procedure integrating augmented reality (AR) for complex patient cases requiring full mouth rehabilitation. Recent Findings The introduction of AR technology to the fields of medicine and dentistry has led to numerous applications in education, surgery, and esthetics. Recently, a new AR software was introduced in esthetic dentistry which allows for real-time smile projection and thus improves communication with patients and the dental laboratory. Summary The presented case shows a patient with multiple missing teeth, diastemata, and an impaired masticatory and phonetic ability. After reconstruction of the posterior zone, the AR software was used for the conception of the esthetic zone, integrating the patient into the decision-making process. The result was an esthetic rehabilitation applying palatal and buccal veneers which corresponded to the chosen AR design. The patient appreciated the opportunity to pre-visualize a possible final outcome in an interactive way which increased his confidence in the chosen treatment. Further studies are needed to assess the precision and reproducibility of the described protocol.

<p>Numerous advances in dentistry techniques and material have allowed patients to have not only a functional but also an aesthetic smile in a conservative way. This case report describes a treatment with ceramic laminates to solve the aesthetic problems of an 18-year-old male dissatisfied with his smile. Following the correct protocols, using minimally invasive abrasions, ceramic laminates, and strong adhesion between porcelain and dental enamel can provide predictable results and clinical longevity through follow-up.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Dental veneers; Ceramic; Dental materials.</p>

ABSTRACT Aims This case report aims to describe a conservative interdisciplinary approach to restore generalized tooth wear complicated with malalignment of teeth. Introduction Tooth wear is the surface loss of dental hard tissue, i.e., usually multifactorial in origin, excluding other than caries, trauma, or developmental disorder. Severe tooth wear impact the appearance, comfort, function, or longevity of the tooth. Prosthodontic management of patients with tooth wear has been well documented, although prosthodontic treatment is designed to correct minor malocclusion, patients with moderate-to-severe malocclusion accompanied by generalized tooth wear may require preprosthetic orthodontic intervention. Case report This case report describes a 47-year-old male patient with generalized tooth wear complicated with lack of interocclusal space and malalignment of teeth. Preventive measures were carried out to address the etiological factors of tooth wear. After orthodontic treatment, definitive restoration was placed in reorganized occlusion at an increased vertical dimension, which restored esthetic and function. Conclusion In this clinical report, generalized tooth wear with insufficient space for restoration, complicated by malalignment of teeth, was managed by way of an interdisciplinary approach which allowed a conservative full-mouth rehabilitation. After orthodontic treatment, a reorganized restorative approach was undertaken at an increased vertical dimension, providing an esthetic and functional solution. An occlusal night guard was provided to protect the dental restorations. Clinical Significance Interdisciplinary approach allows a conservative management for patient with tooth wear complicated by malalignment of teeth.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was oral rehabilitation of 17-yearold patient with amelogenesis imperfecta using removable overlay denture in order to satisfy her esthetic and functional expectations and enhance her self-image. Background Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the quality and quantity of amelogenesis in both primary and permanent dentitions. The main clinical characteristics are severe attrition, tooth sensitivity and unesthetic appearance. Case report This clinical report illustrates the oral rehabilitation of a 17-year-old girl with hypoplastic-hypomature type of AI with cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) overlay removable partial denture (ORPD) that is one of the most economical and biocompatible replacements for noble metal and nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloy. Conclusion The presented case report suggests that Co-Cr ORPD can be a good temporary or even permanent treatment option for AI patients with limited budget, low esthetic concerns or medical limitations. Clinical significance There are major advantages in cast metal ORPDs; they are simpler, less traumatic and less expensive than fixed prosthetic options. This case report supports their use in patients with amelogenesis imperfecta. How to cite this article Ghodsi S, Rasaeipour S, Vojdani M.
