Phenotypic Variability in LAMA3-Associated Amelogenesis Imperfecta.
OBJECTIVE Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is defined as inherited enamel malformations. LAMA3 (laminin alpha-3) encodes a critical protein component of the basement membrane (laminin-332).

Introduction: Dental fluorosis is a disease caused by excessive consumption of fluoride and its deposition in the enamel during odontogenesis. The result of this process is the appearance on the surface of permanent teeth of unsightly stains of various ...

Oral health care pathways for patients with epidermolysis bullosa: A position statement from the European reference network for rare skin diseases. [PDF]
The European Reference Network for Rare Skin Diseases has developed consensus‐based oral health care pathways for dental referral, treatment and follow‐up for patients with EB according to their risk for oral and dental manifestations and complications. Referral for early preventive strategies is key to reducing the burden of disease.

Patient-reported outcome measures in individuals with amelogenesis imperfecta: a systematic review
Purpose Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary condition which affects the composition and structure of enamel in terms of hypoplasia and/or hypomineralization.

Enamel Defects Associated With Dentin Sialophosphoprotein Mutation in Mice
Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is an extracellular matrix protein that is highly expressed in odontoblasts, but only transiently expressed in presecretory ameloblasts during tooth development. We previously generated a knockin mouse model expressing a

Biomimetic mineralisation systems for in situ enamel restoration inspired by amelogenesis
Caries and dental erosion are common oral diseases. Traditional treatments involve the mechanical removal of decay and filling but these methods are not suitable for cases involving large-scale enamel erosion, such as hypoplasia. To develop a noninvasive

Management of Amelogenesis Imperfecta in Childhood: Two Case Reports
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is defined as an interruption of enamel formation due to genetic inheritance. To prevent malfunction of the masticatory system and an unaesthetic appearance, various treatment options are described.

Deciphering the functions of Stromal Interaction Molecule-1 in amelogenesis using AmelX-iCre mice
Introduction: The intracellular Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is thought to play a critical role in enamel development, as its mutations cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI).

Patient-reported outcome measure for children and young people with amelogenesis imperfecta
Background Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic enamel defect that can affect both the primary and permanent dentition. It has a range of clinical phenotypes, and children and young people often present with challenging oral health needs.

Recessive Mutations in ACP4 Cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is an innate disorder that affects the formation and mineralization of the tooth enamel. When diagnosed with AI, one’s teeth can be hypoplastic (thin enamel), hypomature (normal enamel thickness but discolored and softer than
