Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic condition that affects the development of tooth enamel, the hard outer layer that protects teeth. Individuals with this condition may have teeth that are discolored, unusually shaped, or prone to damage and decay. The severity of the condition can vary, leading to different appearances and levels of enamel deficiency. This disorder is caused by mutations in genes responsible for enamel formation. It can be inherited in various ways, including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive patterns. Treatment often involves dental procedures to restore function and appearance, such as crowns or bonding.
