A 14-year-old male patient came with a complaint of yellow discoloration of teeth since 5-6 years. Past dental history was suggestive of discolored deciduous teeth. Medical history and family history was unremarkable. Anterior as well as posterior teeth of all segments showed brownish discoloration []. Height of the crowns of upper and lower posterior teeth were reduced. Consistency of enamel and dentin was hard. Chipping of enamel was not present in any tooth. On the basis of clinical features, provisional diagnosis of hypoplastic type of AI was made. Panoramic radiograph advised to confirm the diagnosis which showed presence of a thin layer of enamel with radiodensity of enamel more than dentin []. On the basis of clinical and radiographic features, final diagnosis of AI of hypomaturation type was made.
A four-and-a-half-year-old boy reported along with his parents to the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry with the chief complaint of decayed teeth in the upper front region since many months. His medical history was not significant. On intraoral examination, he was found to have several carious lesions with grossly decayed 52, 51, 61, and 62 (Figures and ) and deep dental caries in 85. However, the radiographs of the maxillary anterior teeth revealed good root length of these teeth (). Hence, it was planned to restore the maxillary anterior teeth by performing pulpectomy followed by the post and core for these teeth. The parents were informed, and a written consent was obtained.
