Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental condition resulting in enamel defects in first permanent molars and permanent incisors. It presents at eruption of these teeth. Early diagnosis is essential since rapid breakdown of tooth structure may occur, giving rise to acute symptoms and complicated treatment. The purpose of this article is to review MIH and illustrate its cl...

Gingival recession is defined as the apical displacement of marginal gingiva in relation to cemento-enamel junction. It a common clinical finding individuals with good well those poor oral hygiene. may affect single tooth or multiple teeth simultaneously. Patients adjacent gingival recessions present major therapeutic challenge Periodontist, when it comes balancing their esthetic and functional...

Regenerative medicine provides different therapy alternatives alongside gold standard autogenous grafts for the treatment of periodontal or peri-implant osseous defects. Continuing progress in the field of alloplastic bone substitutes has yielded promising solutions to the appropriate indications with the membrane technique either alone or in combination with enamel matrix derivatives. Their cl...

BACKGROUND The aim was to assess the prevalence, distribution and associated risk factors of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) in 3-year-old Thuringian children in 2013 as part of a prospective cohort study. METHODS The subjects (n = 377) were all participants in a Thuringian oral health programme. Children of the birth cohort 2009/2010 were invited to dental examination in the first year...

Background. The inconsistent prevalence of fluorosis for a given level of fluoride in drinking water suggests developmental defects of enamel (DDEs) other than fluorosis were being misdiagnosed as fluorosis. The imprecise definition and subjective perception of fluorosis indices could result in misdiagnosis of dental fluorosis. This study was conducted to distinguish genuine fluorosis from fluo...

Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are important markers stress as they arise from the disruption ameloblastic activity during matrix secretion and mineralization. Defects on crowns deciduous dentition provide insights into maternal–fetal health because can emerge intrauterine development a result gestational issues. The presence previous defective represents one most predisposing causes car...

BACKGROUND It has been speculated that amoxicillin use could be associated with dental enamel defects. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between dental fluorosis, one of the most common developmental tooth enamel defects, and amoxicillin use during early childhood. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS As participants in the Iowa Fluoride Study, subjects were followed up from birth to 32 mont...
