This Case report presents the clinical findings and management of two paediatric patients with AI. Case reports: Two systemically healthy children, a 10 year-old girl and a 10 year-old boy, presented with dental pain and cold sensitivity, respectively. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed generalised enamel thinning and yellow–brown discoloration affecting both dentitions. In the first patient, multiple carious lesions, gingival inflammation, reduced occlusal vertical dimension, and decreased enamel thickness with preserved enamel–dentine contrast were observed. In the second patient, pitted enamel surfaces affecting both anterior and posterior teeth, with minimal posterior enamel loss, were noted. Family history was negative for similar dental findings. A provisional diagnosis of AI type I was established, and genetic evaluation confirmed autosomal recessive AI, identified as Type 1G in the first patient and Type 1C in the second. Treatment: The first patient received scaling, vital pulp and endodontic treatment, and stainless steel crowns, whereas the second patient was managed with resin composite restorations, fissure sealants, and stainless steel crowns. Oral hygiene instructions and fluoride varnish applications were provided to both patients. Follow-up: Both patients reported improved oral healthrelated quality of life, were asymptomatic, and showed intact restorations and improved oral hygiene. Regular follow-up visits were scheduled at six-month intervals. Conclusion: AI requires individualised management based on disease severity and genetic findings. Early intervention and appropriate restorative strategies improve function, symptom control, and clinical outcomes in children.
