Amelogenesis imperfecta
Amelogênese imperfeita
CategoryDefinition
Amelogenesis imperfecta presents with a rare abnormal formation of the enamel or external layer of the crown of teeth. Amelogenesis imperfecta is due to the malfunction of the proteins in the enamel: ameloblastin, enamelin, tuftelin and amelogenin. People afflicted with amelogenesis imperfecta have teeth with abnormal colour: yellow, brown or grey; this disorder can afflict any number of teeth of both dentitions. The teeth have a higher risk for dental cavities and are hypersensitive to temperature changes as well as rapid attrition, excessive calculus deposition, and gingival hyperplasia.
