Abstract:
Circular enamel hypoplasia, a type of enamel hypoplasia is an extensive enamel disturbance that results in a demarcating line surrounding the crown of the injured teeth visible both clinically and radiographically that most frequently occurs as a result of trauma in children around the age of two years. Clinical features include poor aesthetics, dentin sensitivity, increased susceptibility to dental caries and malocclusion. Early radiographic diagnosis of such teeth is important for timely intervention and subsequent treatment.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
