ABSTRACT
Amelogenesis imperfecta has been described as a complex group of hereditary enamel defects that disturbs the enamel structure and exists independent of any related systemic disorder. A 24 year old male patient presented with discolored and hypersensitive teeth. The aim of the treatment was to reduce dental hypersensitivity and restore aesthetics and masticatory function. The maxillary and mandibular teeth were prepared and metal ceramic crowns were cemented on the prepared teeth. The final treatment result provided the patient with improved dental aesthetics and functional efficiency that enhanced his self image. Follow-up visits were scheduled at 3 months interval over a period of one year. No esthetic or functional problems were seen during the follow up period.
