Adhæsiv behandling af ung patient med amelogenesis imperfecta

English summary Adhesive therapy of a young patient with amelogenesis imperfecta Nor Tannlegeforen Tid. 2024; 134: 702-7. Background: Patients with amelogenesis imperfecta usually have a lifelong need for treatment because insufficient mineralized enamel leads to fractures, wear, symptoms, caries, limited longevity of restorations, and insufficient aesthetics. It is therefore important that choice of treatment is related to the patient’s age and needs, and that a non-invasive approach is aimed. Ccase study: This article reviews the treatment of a 16-year-old boy with anterior aesthetic problems, but where occlusal wear does not yet require treatment. The choice of treatment is based on the young patient’s age and therefore he receives aesthetic treatment with direct composite resin material. The clinical procedures are described in detail along the way. Conclusion: Non-invasive technique proved to be able to solve the patient’s needs and after 10 years there was still good durability of the composite resin restorations. Finally, treatments for different age groups are shortly discussed, including choice of materials as well as durability.
