Pankey Mann Schuyler Philosophy-Based Prosthetic Rehabilitation for an Amelogenesis Imperfecta Patient: A Case Report

This clinical case report presents the prosthetic rehabilitation of a 23-year-old male patient with generalized discolored and worn-out teeth, which were of aesthetic and functional concern. In collaboration with the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology and Oral Pathology, this clinical condition was diagnosed as amelogenesis imperfecta (AGI). AGI is a genetic odontological disorder that is an epithelial derivative of the developed tooth bud with enamel malformation. AGI typically affects both deciduous and permanent teeth. Patients generally have aesthetic complaints and compromised chewing efficiency with loss of vertical dimension. Prosthetically rehabilitating an AGI patient is a multidisciplinary approach to regain aesthetics, phonetics, and mastication. This article describes the full mouth rehabilitation, following the Pankey Mann Schuyler philosophy, of the patient with AGI involving all teeth. Full mouth rehabilitation was planned to restore aesthetics, phonetics, and mastication in four phases. First was prosthetic rehabilitation of the mandibular anterior teeth, followed by the maxillary anterior, mandibular posterior, and, finally, maxillary posterior teeth.
