Abstract

Amelogenesis impefecta is a hereditary condition affecting the formation of enamel in which the rough enamel surface can compromise periodontal health and the esthetics. Affected posterior teeth usually exhibit interproximal space loss which makes restoration of the primary molars difficult. This article describes a technique, using separators to regain interproximal space prior to the placement of stainless steel crowns on the molars of a girl with amelogenesis imperfecta.

Keywords

amelogenesis imperfecta, enamel hypoplasia, stainless steel crown, composite, space loss, separators.
