Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disease characterized by the abnormal formation of enamel. Affected patients have unique restorative needs throughout development and maturation of the permanent dentition. This case report highlights the dental treatment over the course of over three years in an adolescent female with hypocalcified AI and her dental treatment through adolescence. From age 10 years through age 14 years, full mouth rehabilitation was completed under general anesthesia on two occasions and several in-office restorative treatments were completed including endodontic treatment and anterior and posterior full coverage restorations. This case report summarizes her care and factors related to success and re-treatment.
