Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is an inherited disorder with alterations in the quality and/or quantity of the dental enamel, with widely varying phenotypes and genotypes. By definition, AI deformities are limited to conditions which selectively disrupt the amelogenesis process. In this research we found that all patients with rough hypoplastic AI had a moderate to severe malocclusion with increased vertical dimensions regardless of the presence or absence of the ENAM g.8344delG mutation.
