Dental Enamel Hypoplasia
Dental Enamel Hypoplasia is a condition where the enamel on teeth is underdeveloped, leading to thin or missing enamel. This can result in teeth that are more susceptible to decay, sensitivity, and discoloration. The condition can occur in both primary and permanent teeth and may be caused by factors such as nutritional deficiencies, illness during childhood, or environmental factors.
The severity of Dental Enamel Hypoplasia can vary, with some individuals experiencing minor defects while others may have significant enamel loss. Treatment options often include fluoride applications, dental sealants, or restorative procedures to protect the affected teeth and improve their appearance. Regular dental check-ups are essential for managing this condition.
