Full Answer

Clinical report

An 18-year-old man was referred for treatment of attrition and considerable sensitivity of his teeth. He was very self-conscious about the appearance of his teeth. A detailed medical, dental, and social history was obtained. Photographs and dental radiographs were made.

Summary

This clinical report describes the use of metal-ceramic FPDs and porcelain laminate veneers for restoration of a hypomature type of amelogenesis imperfecta. Metal-ceramic FPDs were placed on the posterior teeth, and porcelain laminate veneers were placed on the maxillary teeth to improve the occlusion and esthetics.
