Résumé
Enamel hypoplasia is an exclusive ectodermal disturbance, related to alterations in the organic enamel matrix which can cause white flecks, narrow horizontal bands, lines of pits, grooves, and discoloration of the teeth. It can result in compromised oral health that causes physiological and psychological disturbances. Management of enamel hypoplasia not only includes esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the patient but also requires a positive rapport building with the patient due to psychosocial issues. The present case reports elucidate step-by-step management of 16-year-old female patient who presented with localized enamel hypoplasia with severely decayed anterior teeth, poor dental esthetics, and oligodontia of the lower teeth.
