Abstract
Genetic or acquired disturbances may lead to the development of alterations on enamel structure, compromising tooth esthetics and function. This short communication aims to briefly discuss the possibility of employment of several treatment options either to Enamel Hypoplasia or Amelogenesis Imperfecta in order to achieve optimally esthetic resultsReferences
