Amelogenesis Imperfecta with Coronal Resorption: Report of Three Cases

Dent Update. 2015 Dec;42(10):945-8, 950. doi: 10.12968/denu.2015.42.10.945.

Abstract

Intracoronal resorption of the permanent dentition in cases of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare finding which poses an added complication to the already complex management of this condition. This paper presents three cases of AI associated with delayed eruption of permanent teeth in which asymptomatic intracoronal resorption occurred. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper highlights the fact that teeth affected with amelogenesis imperfecta may undergo asymptomatic intracoronal resorption which is only identifiable radiographically.
