Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of rare genetic conditions in which the outer layer of the teeth (enamel) fails to develop properly. People with amelogenesis imperfecta will have small, yellow ...

Amelogenesis imperfecta is an inherited dental disease that affects one in 14,000 to 16,000 children in the U.S. Those born with amelogenesis imperfecta do not produce functional proteins that are ...

The research reveals how targeting the KMT2D gene could help correct oral disorders and prevent craniofacial birth defects.

About one in 1,000 people today have amelogenesis imperfecta. By contrast, the uniform pitting we have seen appears in up to half of Paranthropus individuals.

In March, he received the prestigious American Association for Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) Joseph Lister ...

What causes weak teeth? Some people simply have thinner or more brittle enamel. This can be the result of relatively rare genetic disorders, such as amelogenesis imperfecta.

Amelogenesis imperfecta is primarily caused by mutations in specific genes involved in enamel formation.
