Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) represents a group of developmental conditions, genomic in origin, which affect the
structure and clinical appearance of enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner. It is usually
inherited either as an X-linked, autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait. The enamel may be hypoplastic,
hypomineralised or both and affected teeth may be discolored, sensitive or prone to disintegration. Diagnosis is
based on the family history, pedigree plotting and meticulous clinical observation. The treatment of patients with
AI should start with early diagnosis and intervention to prevent latter restorative problems. Herein, we present two
case reports of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with oligodontia, multiple unerupted teeth, pulpal calcification, taurodontism and anterior deep bite who were provided with functional and esthetic rehabilitation.
