The aim of the present investigation was to determine the mineral distribution in the enamel of teeth with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) by quantitative microradiography. A further aim was to correlate the findings to clinical manifestations and inheritance patterns for AI. Included in the study were a total of 29 teeth with AI, 28 primary and one permanent, and seven unaffected teeth, five primary and two permanent. Quantitative microradiography was applied to sagittally ground sections, 70-90 microns, of the teeth. The mineral content of the enamel, expressed as percentage by volume, was lower in most of the teeth with AI than in the unaffected teeth. The largest range for the mineral distribution was found in the enamel of the variants clinically characterized by hypomineralization. These teeth showed a mineral distribution pattern that reflected an extremely low mineral content in the bulk of the enamel. In the AI teeth clinically characterized by hypoplasia, the mineral distribution pattern was similar to that of the unaffected teeth, although with larger local variations in mineral content. Apart from the teeth connected with X-linked inheritance, no differences were found among teeth with similar clinical variants connected with different inheritance patterns.
