Amelogênese imperfeita da dentição permanente envolvendo múltiplos dentes inclusos

Abstract

Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a developmental alteration in enamel structure belonging to a complex group that in absence of systemic alterations can be considered as an isolated presentation. There are 14 inherited subtypes of AI with 4 main types: hypoplasic, hypocalcificated, hypomaturated-hypoplasic and hypoplasic-hypomaturated. AI inheritance patterns can be autosomal dominant and recessive linked to mutation in ENAM gene, and linked to X-chromosome with 14 different mutations in the AMELX gene. This condition can lead to functions and psicosocial implications to the patients. The aim of this work is to relate a case of AI associated to multiple teeth inclusion. Key words: Amelogenesis Imperfecta, Dental enamel, teeth inclusion.
