Abstract
This clinical report describes an interdisciplinary approach for the coordinated treatment of a 20-
year–old woman patient diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta. The treatment objective was to
restore masticatory function, to reduce dental sensitivity and improve the facial esthetics.
A multidisciplinary team approach treatment is recommended, including periodontology,
orthodontics, endodontics, and prosthodontics. Prosthodontic treatment included composite
laminate veneers and metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures.
After treatment the patient was regularly recalled during the 25-months postoperative period.
Radiographic and clinical examinations at recall revealed no evidence of complications associated
with the restored teeth or their supporting structures.
