Abstract
CORDERO GARCIA, Sandra and CASTANEDA DERONCELE, Mario. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a female patient with imperfect amelogenesis. MEDISAN [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.5, pp.951-957. Epub Nov 07, 2019. ISSN 1029-3019.
The case report of a 14 years patient is described who was referred by the general comprehensive stomatologist to the Oral and Maxillofacial Prosthesis Rehabilitation Center in Santiago de Cuba for prosthetic rehabilitation. Abnormal color and brown stains in the whole surface of the enamel of her permanent teeth were observed during the intraoral physical exam (11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23), which was diagnosed as an amelogenesis of hypocalcified type. It was decided to carry out individual restorations of provisional cases crowns with acrylic to improve their function and dental aesthetics.
