Oct 28, 2023 · Enamel hypoplasia, a condition characterized by an enamel defect, affects both a child’s baby teeth and permanent teeth. It involves inadequate or incomplete development of dental enamel, leading to hypoplastic teeth that are often more susceptible to dental problems.

- Morphogenesis
- Differentiation
Tooth initiation begins at the 6th week in utero, when ectomesenchymal cellsaccumulate immediately below the oral epithelium. These cells are thought be derived from the neural crest cell population. The oral epithelium then proliferates down into the ectomesenchyme to form a primary epithelial band. At the 7thweek in utero, the primary epithelial ...
Morphogenesiscommences at the 10th week in utero, when five developing tooth germs appear in each quadrant, which give rise to the primary dentition. By the 16th week in utero, the tooth germs of the permanent incisors and the 1st permanent molars begin to form. The 2nd and 3rdpermanent molar tooth germs appear long after birth.
By the 18th week in utero, differentiationof tooth germs has occurred and dental hard tissue has formed. Alveolar bone forms around the developing dental follicle.

Jul 17, 2023 · These changes can be as simple as a slight overexpression of a singular tooth structure to the complete obliteration of dental tissue in final development. The developmental anomalies to be discussed in this article are as follows: dens evaginatus, dens invaginatus, amelogenesis imperfecta, and dentinogenesis imperfecta.

Dental anomalies are common congenital malformations that can occur either as isolated findings or as part of a syndrome. This review focuses on genetic causes of abnormal tooth development and the implications of these abnormalities for clinical care.
Congenital malformations of the oral cavity include cleft lip, palate, and alveolus defects, developmental anomalies of the tongue, vascular anomalies, developmental disturbances of the teeth and/or tooth structure, and congenital dysontogenetic tumors or tumorlike conditions.
