The term amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) refers to a group of rare autosomal disorders expressed as defects in the enamel formation of teeth.1,2 The disorder is known to affect both primary and secondary teeth and may manifest with symptoms ranging from mild discoloration leading to compromised esthetics to complete mutilation of dentition leading to a loss of vertical dimension and compromised states of function.3 The restoration of vertical dimension loss in patients with enamel defects associated with AI presents a challenge for prosthodontists. Restorative treatment modalities vary from basic oral hygiene maintenance instructions to complex partial and full coverage restorations.3-5 The following case series details rehabilitation of two individuals affected by AI with completely different treatment modalities.
