Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a diverse collection of inherited diseases that exhibit quantitative or qualitative tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations. It is necessary to diagnose the case and provide durable functional and aesthetic management of these patients, as the unaesthetic appearance has a definite negative psychological impact. This clinical report describes the use of the Hobo twin-stage procedure for rehabilitation of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta and reduced vertical dimension of occlusion. The treatment plan was executed keeping in mind not only the severely damaged dentition but also treating the whole stomatognathic system. Utmost care was taken to achieve harmonious occlusion with no possible occlusal interferences which would otherwise initiate the habit of bruxism and thereby cause wear of the prosthesis.KEY WORDS : Amelogenesis Imperfecta , Hobo twin-stage procedure , harmonious occlusion .
