These defects can appear as small pits or dents in the tooth or can be so widespread as to make the entire tooth small in size and/or mis-shaped. This may result in tooth sensitivity, an unsightly appearance and/or increased susceptibility to dental caries. Here, we report a case of a patient exhibiting amelogenesis imperfecta, the treatment employed to treat the defects, and the result obtained. The affected teeth (all upper teeth) appeared white and the patient requested esthetic improvement of the appearance. We applied flowable composite resin to the hypomineralized defect. The result was dramatic improvement in tooth color of the upper incisors and first premolars. We conclude that atraumatic flowable composite resin restorations are useful in the treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta defects.}, pages = {47--50}, title = {Atraumatic restoration in amelogenesis imperfecta using flowable composite resin}, volume = {22}, year = {2003} }
