Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) represents a group of developmental conditions affecting the structure and clinical appearance of the enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner, and which may be associated with morphologic or biochemical changes elsewhere in the body.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for amelogenesis imperfecta has been reported in the published literature.
No approved treatments are currently available for amelogenesis imperfecta. An additional 1 compound holds orphan drug designation.
While no drugs are FDA-approved specifically for amelogenesis imperfecta, some of the following designated compounds may be used off-label in clinical practice. Treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a specialist familiar with this condition.
The following drugs have received orphan drug designation from the FDA for amelogenesis imperfecta. Orphan designation reflects regulatory interest and does not indicate approval for treatment.
