Q

what is the difference between generalised and localised hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

localised is limited to part of the crown

26
Q

what is this

A

hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta

as teeth different shape

27
Q

what is hypomineralised amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

full thickness enamel, but very soft with impaired bond strength

28
Q

what are the two types of hypomineralised amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

hypocalcified
hypomature

29
Q

what is the clinical appearance of hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

enamel only on the cervical part after eruption

30
Q

what is the radiographic appearance of hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

normal enamel thickness before eruption. Enamel radiolucency slightly higher than dentine

31
Q

what is the clinical appearance of hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

chalky appearance with orange, brown or white colour

32
Q

what is the radiographic appearance of hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

normal enamel thickness, radiolucency slightly higher than dentine

33
Q

what is this?

A

hypomaturature amelogenesis imperfecta

34
Q

what is this?

A

hypomineralised amelogenesis imperfecta

as normal shape but broken down after eruption

35
Q

what are the categories of dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

type I, II and III

36
Q

what is type I dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (weak bones)

Teeth are difficult to restore and don’t want to remove them

37
Q

what is type II dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

dentinogenesis on its own - not associated with anything else

38
Q

what is type III dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

“Brandywine isolate” another form of type II that is slightly rarer

39
Q

what is the clinical appearance of dentinogenesis imperfecta in primary dentition?

A

Colour: amber

Attrition: worn teeth due to tooth on tooth contact

Pulp obliteration

Spontaneous abscesses

40
Q

what is the clinical appearance of dentinogenesis imperfecta in permanent dentition?

A

Colour: grey/translucent

Short roots

Pulp obliteration

Spontaneous abscesses

41
Q

what are the main clinical problems with dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

Poor aesthetics

Chipping enamel

Exposure of dentine

Poor OH

Pain and infection, pulpal necrosis

42
Q

what is this?

A

dentinogenesis imperfecta
(type 1)

43
Q

what is this?

A

46
Q

what is Molar incisor hypomineralisation?

A

Developmental defect in enamel structure (less mineral) due to disruption to late stage of amelogenesis

47
Q

clinical presentation of molar incisor hypomineralisation

A

Demarcated enamel opacities, ranging in colour from white to yellow/brown

Can appear hypoplastic

Patient c/o breakdown of teeth, sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, failed restorations

Q

what is this?

A

molar incisor hypomineralisation

Irregular enamel opacities, stained if severe

51
Q

what is this?

A

fluorosis

53
Q

what is this?

A

turner’s tooth

54
