background & aim: regional odonto dysplasia (rod) is an unusual nonhereditary of teeth with significantly clinical and radiographic features. affected teeth usually remain unerupted or semi-erupted with a discolaration and irregular shape. radiographically these teeth have a large pulp chamber and thin layer of enamel and dentin with similar density. this article is introducing a female patient...

Regional odontodysplasia is a nonhereditary, uncommon developmental abnormality of teeth. Females have more predilections for regional odontodysplasia. The enamel, dentin and pulp of teeth are affected and radiographically, teeth are described as "ghost teeth". Many of these :eeth do not erupt and have an increased risk for caries and periapical inflammation. Since the literature on regional od...

The word “odontodysplasia” was coined by Zegarelli, et al. (1963). Because this abnormality has a tendency to affect only one quadrant, “regional odontodysplasia” became the most accepted term to define it. The same condition has been described under other denominations, such as “odontogenic dysplasia, “localized arrested tooth development” “ghost teeth, “odontogenesis imperfecta”, “unilateral ...

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare disorder of dental development. The affected teeth are clinically hypoplastic and hypocalcified, presenting a ghost-like appearance radiographically. The aim of this work was to report a clinical case of a child with both primary and permanent dentition affected by RO. The conducted therapy was based on a conservative approach, which consisted of follow-u...

introdouction: the mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity, which are complex structures, is very important. the position of objects that create a ghost image can differ when using various devices. the purpose of this investigation was to study the mapping of ghost images of the maxilla and the nasal cavity using a cranex d digital panoramic machine. materials and methods: t...

Supernumerary teeth are teeth that exceed the normal dental formula. Their prevalence in the permanent dentition is 1-14% and they occur more frequently in maxilla with a sex ratio of 2 : 1 in favor of males. They are often associated with syndromes but there are examples of nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth reported in the literature. CBCT is usually the best exam for radiographic diag...

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a sporadic (not inherited) developmental defect involving only a few contiguous teeth in a small region of the jaw; developmentally it involves both mesodermal and ectodermal dental components. It affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Generally it is localized to only one arch. The etiology of this dental anomaly i...

Regional odontodysplasia is a rare developmental anomaly involving dental tissues. The precise etiology is not yet known. The affected teeth are usually small with atypical morphology with yellow or brown discoloration. One hundred and seventy six cases of regional odontodysplasia have been published to-date. Analysis of the published cases shows that the age at the time of diagnosis ranges fro...

Regional odontodysplasia is a rare, severe, and nonhereditary developmental disorder in tooth formation and involves epithelial and mesenchymal-derived dental tissue. On radiographs, affected teeth have an abnormal morphology, a hypoplastic crown, and only a faint outline of hard tissue, a condition termed "ghost teeth." We report clinical and radiographic findings from two children with region...
