Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a collection of inherited diseases that exhibit quantitative or qualitative tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations. Also known by varied names such as Hereditary enamel dysplasia, Hereditary brown enamel, Hereditary brown opalescent teeth. This defect is of ectodermal in origin. The AI trait can be transmitted by either autosomal dominant/ recessive, or X-linked inheritance. Genes implicated in autosomal forms are genes encoding enamel matrix proteins, namely: enamelin and ameloblastin, tuftelin, MMP-20 and kallikrein – 4. This report shows the less invasive treatment modality for the disease.
