Amelogenesis imperfecta

What it means

A developmental dysplasia of the dental enamel.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a term for a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that affect the dental enamel, occasionally in conjunction with other dental, oral and extraoral tissues. This term has often been used to describe the phenotype associated with AI, but for new annotations it is recommended to describe the individual manifestations.
