Amelogenesis imperfecta represents a group of hereditary conditions that manifest enamel defects without evidence of generalized or systemic disorders. These enamel disorders are apparently heterogeneous in the basic chemical structure, resulting in a diverse presentation of clinical characteristics. The reported prevalence of amelogenesis imperfecta varies from 1 in 14,000-16,000 to 1.4 in 1,000 depending on specific population studied with the autosomal dominant hypocalcification type of amelogenesis imperfecta believed to be the least prevalent. The most widely accepted current classification system for delineating the amelogenesis imperfecta types considers the mode of inheritance and clinical manifestations. Three major groups are recognized; hypoplastic, hypocalcified, and hypomaturation types. Delineating specific types of amelogenesis imperfecta can be confusing due to the phenotypical similarity of many forms and that the most recent classification lists 14 different types. A 12 year-old female patient came to our pediatric dentistry clinic complaining of the ugly shape and color of her teeth, especially the upper front area. Although the goal of the treatment was mainly focused on the improvement of patient's esthetics, longevity of the restorations was also considered in selecting the appropriate restorative system, resin jacket crown, which can satisfy the both aspects.

법랑질형성부전증은 주로 법랑기의 기능불량으로 야기된 법랑질의 형태이상을 말하며, 치아의 중배엽은 정상이기 때문에 완전한 외배엽성 이상이다. 법랑질형성부전증은 유치와 영구치 모두에서 발생할 수 있으며, 발생빈도는 1:14,000 혹은 1:16,000정도이다. 법랑질형성부전증은 다양한 임상증상을 나타낼 수 있으며, 임상적으로 형성부전증(hypoplastic), 석회화부전증(hypocalcified). 성숙부전증(hypomatruation)등으로 나눌 수 있다 대부분 법랑질 형성부전증 환자들은 심미성, 치아의 냉온에 대한 과민반응, 교합면의 마모 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 형성부정증에서는 비교적 위의 문제가 경미하나, 석회화부전증에 있어서는 더욱 심각하다. 치료방법으로는 먼저 유전적 상담이 선행돼야하며, 전치부 심미성의 해결을 위한 composite resin veneer나 jacket crown을 이용하고, 구치부에 있어서는 S-S crown을 이용한 방법이 있을 수 있다. 본 증례는 전북대학교 치과병원에 내원한 3명의 법랑질형성부전증 환아의 임상검사 및 치료과정에 대하여 보고하는 바이다.

The term "Oligodontia" or "Hypodontia" have been used to describe variable degrees of reduction in number of teeth. Oligodontia may occur alone or as a result of some syndrome. Although the teeth are derived in part from ectoderm, the current opinion of reason of oligodontia should be reserved for those disorders in which there is abnormal development of one or more ectodermal tissues. 7 year 5 months old female was refered to the department of pedodontics, college of dentistry Yonsei university for evaluation and replacement of absent teeth. She had no special inf.ectious disease in her childhood, and her parents were healthy. She had no special syndrome of ectodermal disorders except the saddle nose, yellow and fine hair, and notched upper anterior central incisor. Panex radiogram was showing 6 anterior primary teeth, 2 permanent first molars and 2 unerupted first bicuspid in mandible. Another permanent teeth were absent. and normal number of primary and permanent teeth in maxilla. Lateral cephalogram showed no special abnormality in growth pattern. We had evaluated lower anterior decayed teeth with jacket resin and chrome steel crown and removable partial denture at missing area. We had got good results for rehabilitation of function and aesthetic.
