## TL;DR

A 13-year-old patient with amelogenesis imperfecta was treated using a composite injection moulding technique to improve their smile and oral health.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel application of the composite injection moulding technique for AI treatment in adolescents.

## Key findings

- The composite injection moulding technique was successfully used to restore the anterior teeth.
- The treatment improved the patient's esthetics and oral health-related quality of life.
- The approach was suitable considering the patient's age, skeletal issues, and financial constraints.

## Abstract

Treatment of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is considered a challenging treatment. Optimal treatment consists of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to prevent early destruction by caries and to improve esthetics and oral health-related quality of life.

This study aimed to report on the treatment of a 13-year-old patient with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) using the composite injection moulding technique to restore the anterior sector. This therapeutic option was chosen based on the patient's age, skeletal discrepancy, and financial considerations.
