What can you see in this image ?
Enamel changes - typical for focal enamel hypoplasia FEH
what is Turner’s hypoplasia?
Enamel hypoplasia
What is the most common type of dog tooth abnormality seen in private practice?
Enamel hypoplasia
What is this image ?
Focal enamel hypoplasia
restoration of EH
Turners tooth
What is this image?
Focal enamel hypoplasia
Turners tooth( if 1 tooth is affected )
Most common cause of EH ?
Environmental:
trauma - bite wound in 1st 8 to 10 weeks of life ***
infection
chemicals- fluoride
what is this and what happened ?
EH - extreme form
Trauma to developing tooth germ cause structural disturbance of AB layer with complete change of developing tooth crown
what is this ?
EH or Turners tooth
What causes diffuse enamel hypoplasia DEH?
Systemic diseases, direct infection of active enamel producing AB
Amelogensis imperfecta AI - What causes it and how does it present?
AI hereditary type of EH
Genetics
Affects all deciduous teeth and or permanent teeth
What are the 3 types of AI?
Hypoplastic type - defective matrix secretion by AB
Hypocalcified type - defective mineralization of the matrix
Hypomature type - enamel crystal growth during maturation is defective due to ineffective enamel protein removal
What is internalized discoloration?
extrinsic stains gets incorporated in the tooth substance
How does internalized discoloration in extrinsic type of discoloration happen?
due to structural enamel defects either through developmental abnormality of acquired defects following tooth wear, GR, caries, restorative material
Chromogens ( compound that forms colored compounds by oxidation) enter porous defects or open dentinal tubules discoloration which cannot be removed by scale and polish
what can cause extrinsic staining of the tooth?
extrinsic staining: 1) staining of enamel due to pigmentation deposits on enamel surface
2)
how many causes of staining exists?
intrinsic and extrinsic staining
what is the cause of intrinsic staining on enamel
influenced by thickness and structural properties of enamel -influences the scattering and light absorption of light within the enamel
there is a local and a systemic cause
what are the local causes of intrinsic discoloration ?
pulp necrosis, pulpal hemorrhages, pulp tissue remnants after RCT, deposition of hemoglobin related pigments in dentin
What are the systemic causes of intrinsic discoloration?
drug related discoloration tetracycline, metabolic fluorosis , genetic: porphyrins and hyperbilirubinemia deposits as a by product hemolysis , structural defect as AI, dentinogenesis imperfecta abnormal dentin structure- not enough support to enamel fractures
What is dentinogenesis imperfecta?
abnormal dentin structure- not enough support to enamel fractures
Tetracycline staining
Permanent yellow to brown discoloration to areas of the tooth that was in the process of matrix mineralization and maturation
Do not give to pregnant bitches or puppies <6 months of age
Irreversible staining but does not affect the dental hard tissue structure
Doxycycline – staining less dramatic
list 4 developmental abnormalities
Germination, twinning, fusion, concrescence
Another term for germination
schizodontism
What is germination?
A single tooth germ tries to develop divide into 2 separate teeth
