Enamel Hypoplasia
Enamel Hypoplasia is a dental condition characterized by the underdevelopment of tooth enamel, the hard outer layer that protects teeth. This condition can result in thin, weak enamel, making teeth more susceptible to cavities and sensitivity. Enamel hypoplasia can occur in one or multiple teeth and may be caused by factors such as nutritional deficiencies, illness during childhood, or trauma.
Symptoms of enamel hypoplasia include visible pits, grooves, or discoloration on the affected teeth. Treatment options may involve dental sealants, fluoride treatments, or restorative procedures to protect and improve the appearance of the teeth. Early diagnosis and care are essential for managing this condition effectively.
