Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a relatively rare genetic disease characterized by enamel defects causing severe tooth wear and reduced vertical occlusal dimensions. Objective: To describe a clinical case of a 17-year-old male patient with amelogenesis imperfecta who underwent full-mouth restoration with zirconia crowns in the anterior region and titanium alloy crowns in the molar region at the Department of Prosthodontics, National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology HaNoi, period of 2023 to 2025. Method: The treatment process includes 3 steps: treatment of periodontal conditions and filling of interdental caries and occlusal surfaces; increasing the vertical occlusal dimensions by 5mm in the anterior region and 3mm in the molar region; full-mouth restoration with zirconia in the anterior region and titanium alloy crowns in the molar region. Results: After two years of follow-up and re-examination, the results of full-mouth restoration with zirconia porcelain crowns in the anterior area and titanium alloy porcelain crowns in the molar area for a 17-year-old male patient with enamel imperfecta were very successful. Chewing, aesthetic and pronunciation functions were significantly improved. The bite was stable, the restoration was intact, no gingivitis, there was slight gingival recession in the premolar area (25, 35, 36) with a size of 0.5mm in the proximal area. The patient was satisfied with the restoration technique. Conclusion: For patients with incomplete enamel, the method of full-mouth restoration using zirconia porcelain crowns in the anterior area and titanium alloy porcelain crowns in the molar area has good results in terms of aesthetics and chewing function
