The term amelogenesis imperfecta is applied to a clinically heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders that interfere with the normal development of dental enamel. These disorders cause a deficiency in the enamel's quantity and/or the quality that may result in poor dental esthetics. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta in an 8-year-old girl whose dissatisfaction with the appearance of her teeth led to impaired social functioning. Since the patient was in the mixed dentition stage, a temporary treatment aiming to improve dental esthetics, preserve oral function, and allow for the recovery of the patient's self-confidence was performed by a multidisciplinary team.
