Abstract: Objective. Enamel hypoplasia is a quantitative disorder of enamel deposition during the secretory phase and is characterised by a deficiency of the enamel, while hypomineralization is a qualitative disorder caused by incomplete mineralization and maturation of the enamel, followed by the porosity of the solid dental tissues and the opalescent tooth colour. Clinically, hypoplasia is a risk for caries, tooth sensitivity, erosion, and affects the aesthetic appearance of a patient with a psychological connotation. The aim of the paper is to present the case report, the possibility of preventive measures and restorative treatments with minimally invasive requirements in these patients. Methods. At the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Kragujevac, in March 2018, a thirteen-year-old boy was diagnosed with isolated hypoplastic enamel defects on teeth 24, 25, 26, 33 and 34. Results. Enamel hypoplasia was diagnosed by anamnesis, clinical and radiological examination. Preventive measures and conservative interventions were used to prevent progressive abrasion and early tooth loss due to caries and its complications. Conclusion. Early diagnosis, timely preventive methods and minimally invasive restorative treatment can correct anomalies and prevent possible complications.
