GB Gertzman,

A case report of a patient with local hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta is presented. Developmentally absent canines and unerupted teeth in the anterior maxilla and calcifications in the apical third of the pulp chambers of the molars were noticed and discussed. A family history was analyzed as consistent with an autosomal dominant form of transmission of the disorder.
