Enamel in odontodysplasia.

B Kerebel, L M Kerebel

    Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology
    |October 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Odontodysplasia affects tooth enamel and dentin development, leading to distinct structural changes. This condition involves abnormal enamel formation and unique calcified bodies, suggesting varied developmental processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Developmental Biology
    • Histology

    Background:

    • Odontodysplasia is a rare developmental anomaly affecting tooth enamel and dentin.
    • Understanding the microstructural changes in odontodysplasia is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Microradiographs revealed clear distinctions between hypoplastic enamel and dentin in affected teeth.
    • Enamel exhibited two zones: prismatic and globular, with variations in crystallite size and arrangement.
    • A scalloped dentinoenamel junction and normal mantle dentin were observed in areas with prismatic enamel.

    Findings:

    • Hypoplastic globular enamel contained small, densely packed crystallites, similar to enameloid in teleost fishes.
    • Round calcified bodies, attached or unattached to enamel, comprised smaller, irregularly distributed crystallites.
    • These findings suggest diverse developmental processes contribute to the outer hard tissues in odontodysplasia.

    Implications:

    • Prismatic enamel zones likely form from differentiated ameloblasts.
    • Hypoplastic enamel results from reduced ameloblast numbers or localized ameloblast loss.
    • Round calcified bodies may form independently of ameloblast activity, indicating complex etiologies.
