Lecture 3- Dental Anomalies II Flashcards
An inherited genetic mutation. Isolated or syndromic. Enamel is affected in all or nearly all teeth:
Amelogenesis imperfecta
What dentition does amelogenesis imperfecta affect?
Both primary & permanent
List and describe the 4 general types of amelogenesis imperfecta:
- Type 1: Hypoplastic type
- Type II: Hypomaturation type
- Type 3: Hypomineralized or Hypocalcified
- Type 4: Hypoplastic Type
Describe Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta:
Hypoplastic type- thinner but hard enamel
Describe type 2 amelogenesis imperfecta:
Hypomaturation type- relatively hard but colored (not translucent) enamel
Describe type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta:
Hypomineralized or Hypocalcified- softer rough colored undermineralized enamel
Describe type 4 amelogenesis imperfecta:
Hypoplastic- Hypomature with taurodontism
What type of amelogenesis imperfecta is being described?
” Thin but mineralized enamel, looks radiopaque”
Type 1: Hypoplastic type
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta is a ____ enamel defect
quantitative
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta is a quantitative enamel defect caused by:
failure during enamel matrix security stage (enamel agenesia is rare)
Describe a teeth that are affected by amelogenesis imperfecta Type 1:
- generalized or localized, pits, striae & groove defects
- diffuse smooth, or rough
- Teeth appear white tot yellow-brown
- small teeth
- square shaped teeth
- open contacts “picket fence appearance”
- Flat occlusal surface with low cusps
- delayed eruption & increased impaction
If someone displays a “picket fence” appearance, this might be indicative of:
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta, causes delayed ____ and increased ____
eruption; impaction
What can be seen in this image?
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta
In the following image, we notice some open contacts, what might this indicate?
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta
Your patient appears like this, what might be the cause?
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta- teeth appear white to yellow brown
What can be seen in the following pano?
Type 1- amelogenesis imperfecta
(open contacts, picket fence contact, flat occlusal surface & small cusps)
What can be seen in the following image?
Type 1 amelogenesis imperfecta (open contacts, flat occlusal surface, small cusps)
Type of amelogenesis imperfecta in which the patient has a normal thickness of enamel, but the enamel is soft (as radio dense as dentin) & less translucid
Type II- HYPOmaturation
Type 2 amelogenesis imperfecta is considered a ___ defect
Qualitative
Describe the enamel with Type 2 amelogenesis imperfecta:
- soft enamel (as radio dense as dentin)
- less translucid enamel (cloudy white, yellow, or brown color)
- hard and protective
What can be seen in the following image?
Type II amelogenesis imperfecta
What can be seen in the following image?
type II amelogenesis imperfecta
What can be seen in the following image?
Type II amelogenesis imperfecta
Type of amelogenesis imperfecta where the enamel is of a NORMAL THICKNESS but is soft, porous and sheds easily from the dentin:
Type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta
Describe the shape of the teeth with type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta (HYPOmineralized type) at eruption:
normal shape at eruption
In what type of amelogenesis imperfecta are the teeth very sensitive to even physical contact with a toothbrush?
Type III amelogenesis imperfecta (HYPOmineralized type)
Describe the enamel in Type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta:
- soft enamel- less dense than dentin in radiographs
- color of enamel can range from white to creamy yellow-brown
Describe the wear patterns seen on teeth in someone with type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta:
grossly worn teeth (to gingival level)
What can be seen in the following image?
Type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta (enamel less dense than dentin)
What can be seen in the following image?
Type 3 amelogenesis imperfecta (teeth are worn)
The ___ dentition is more severely affected with dentinogeneis imperfecta:
primary dentition
Describe the color of teeth with dentinogenesis imperfecta:
amberlike translucency (yellow to blue-grey)
