	Amelogenesis imperfecta - Genetics Home Reference
		Mutations in the AMELX, ENAM, and MMP20 genes cause amelogenesis imperfecta.
		Amelogenesis imperfecta is also inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern; this form of the disorder can result from mutations in the ENAM or MMP20 gene.

	Amelogenesis Imperfecta
		Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a rare inherited disorder characterized by brown discoloration of the teeth, resulting from a lack calcium (hypocalcification) or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the hard outer covering of teeth (enamel).
		Individuals with Amelogenesis Imperfecta may be prone to early tooth loss and/or disease of the structures that surround and support the teeth (periodontal disease).
		Amelogenesis Imperfecta may be inherited as an X-linked, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive genetic trait, depending on the form present.

	Hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta
		Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder which affects the dental enamel.
		The genetic origin of the autosomal forms is still unknown, although the cause of X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta is definitely related to defects in the amelogenin gene, which is the principal protein related to the formation of human dental enamel (Line and Trevilato, 1996).
		The human amelogenin gene is in the distal region of the p 22.1 ® p 22.3 short arm of the X chromosome and in the pericentromeric region of the Y chromosome.

	Amelogenesis Imperfecta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amelogenesis Imperfecta is an inherited condition that presents abnormal formation of the enamel or external layer of teeth.
		Enamel is composed mostly of mineral, that is formed and regulated by the proteins in it.
		A.I. is due to the malfunction of the proteins in the enamel: ameloblastin, enamelin, tuftelin and amelogenin.

	GENETIC DISORDERS - Amelogenesis Imperfecta
		This condition causes teeth to be unusually small, discoloured, pitted or grooved, and prone to rapid wear and breakage.
		Researchers are looking for mutations in other genes that may also cause amelogenesis imperfecta.
		Other cases of this condition result from new gene mutations and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family.

	Abstract Archvive
		Amelogenesis imperfecta is a rare dental disease and presents a major challenge to the dentist.
		With the tremendous advances in the field of esthetic dentistry, espcially in bonding to dentin, it is today possible to restore function and esthetics to an acceptable level.
		A case of amelogenesis imperfecta, complicated by a malocclusion, is presented.

		Mutations in the genes encoding enamel proteins lead to amelogenesis imperfecta, a collection of inherited diseases having enamel malformations as the predominant phenotype.
		Defects in the amelogenin gene cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta, and genes encoding other enamel proteins are candidates for autosomal forms.
		A retrospective study of 32 children (mean age 10.3 years) attending the Children's Department, Eastman Dental Hospital with enamel opacities resembling dental fluorosis in the majority showed that these changes were probably genetically determined and had a close association with taurodontism of permanent molar teeth.

	What Could This Be?
		Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary disease of enamel formation affecting both primary and permanent dentitions.
		There are three forms of amelogenesis imperfecta: hypoplastic, hypocalcified and hypomaturation.
		The clinical appearance of teeth in various forms of amelogenesis imperfecta may be different ranging from normal to discolored, soft, and unsightly.

		The present study was undertaken to immunohistochemically (IHC) localize Bax and Bcl-2 in the cells of the enamel organ during amelogenesis in rat molars.
		When related to the occurrence of apoptosis during amelogenesis, the relative intensity of expression of Bax and Bcl-2 changed in a pattern consistent with that observed in other cell lines.
		This indicates that these proteins play essential roles in the process of amelogenesis, as predicted by their proposed mechanisms of action in the control of apoptosis.

		Amelogenesis imperfecta occurs in approximately 1 in 14,000 individuals in the U.S. It results in malformed, thin enamel that may render teeth susceptible to damage and decay.
		Dental enamel is the outermost layer of the teeth and is the hardest substance in the body.
		In the future, researchers may be able to use enamel produced in the laboratory to treat patients with amelogenesis imperfecta or those with missing or damaged enamel resulting from dental caries or trauma.

	Could we have prevented poor enamel formation?
		It sounds as if your daughter has what is termed amelogenesis imperfecta, a defect in the formation of enamel.
		The hypomaturation form of amelogenesis imperfecta presents enamel which is soft, cavity-prone, and has a brown-yellow-white mottled appearance.
		Some of the types of amelogenesis imperfecta are distinctive on radiographs; therefore, radiographs which will help diagnose problems with the primary dentition and reveal development of the permanent teeth can be helpful in preparation for the permanent dentition.
