Abstract

Introduction: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary enamel defect that often causes sensitivity, functional limitations, and esthetic concerns in young patients. Aim: This clinical study evaluated a non-invasive and holistic approach to rehabilitation using preventive fluoride therapy, pit and fissure sealants, microabrasion, and adhesive composite restorations. Materials and Methods: Young patients with AI who underwent clinical and radiographic evaluation were the subjects of this clinical study. rehabilitation while maintaining the greatest amount of tooth structure possible. Thin composite veneers were applied using adhesive techniques in a few chosen anterior cases with a higher esthetic demand. Results: Patients showed marked reduction in sensitivity, improved chewing comfort, and enhanced esthetic satisfaction over a six-month follow-up, with high restoration survival and notable psychosocial benefits. Conclusion: The findings suggest that conservative, patient-centered management can effectively restore function and appearance in AI during growth, while preserving tooth structure and supporting overall well-being.
