title: No trial evidence for restorative interventions in children and adolescents with amelogenesis imperfecta.
abstract: METHODS
  The Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched. Abstracts of the Conference Proceedings of the International Association for Dental Research and reference lists of identified articles were also scanned for relevant papers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Randomised trials where children and adolescents with AI who required restoration of teeth were allocated to different restoration techniques would have been selected.
  
  
  METHODS
  Standard Cochrane review protocols would have been followed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No studies met the inclusion criteria.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We found no randomised controlled trials of restorative treatments for children and adolescents with AI, and therefore there is no evidence as to which is the best restoration. Well defined randomised controlled trials which recruit children and adolescents and focus on the type and severity of the disorder should be undertaken to determine the best intervention for restoring teeth affected by AI.
