Abstract excerpt
Hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is characterized clinically by enamel of normal thickness that is hypomineralized, mottled, and detaches easily from the underlying dentin. Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked, and sporadic modes of inheritance have been documented. The present study investigated the elemental composition of the enamel of teeth from individuals demonstrating clinical...
