Description of a CAD Protocol for the Simulation of Dental Treatment of Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is an inherited disorder of development that primarily affects dental enamel. The etiology of this pathology is the mutation or the expression alteration of 13 genes [1] The tissues of both dentitions being reached, the aesthetics of the smile is lost from childhood. The psychosocial impact of AI imposes a relatively young functional and aesthetic care [2] The difficulty of the reconstruction of tooth tissues in definitive dentition is based on two elements: the associated dento facial dysmorphosis and the difficulties of bonding due to the alteration of the adhesive bond to the affected enamel. Management with the best prognosis is therefore based on a treatment combining orthodontics and indirect reconstructions [3] We propose here, the analysis of a case then and the simulation of the treatment by CAD. The interest of this approach is to be able to perform the simulation of the wax up to offer a coherent therapeutic proposal, both functional and aesthetic.
