Study Notes
Developmental and Hereditary Dental Alterations
- Fusion of two teeth results in the appearance of a larger tooth, counted as one unit but leaves a missing tooth in the dental arch.
- Developmental alterations in tooth shape include concrescence, accessory cusps, dens evaginatus, dens invaginatus, ectopic enamel, taurodontism, hypercementosis, dilaceration, and supernumerary roots.
- Hereditary alterations in tooth structure involve enamel (amelogenesis imperfecta) and dentin (osteogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, dentin dysplasia).
- Amelogenesis imperfecta has 14 hereditary subtypes: hypoplastic, hypocalcified, and hypomaturation, each with specific characteristics.
- Hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta has several types, including generalized pitted, localized pitted, diffuse smooth, and rough, as well as enamel agenesis.
- Hypocalcification amelogenesis imperfecta leads to soft enamel easily lost, with diffuse and snow-capped types.
- Hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta results in mottled, opaque discoloration and softer enamel, with diffuse and snow-capped types.
- Amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism involves genes like AMELX, ENAM, KLK4, and DLX3.
- Hereditary disorders of dentin include isolated or syndrome-associated conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Goldblatt syndrome, Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia, vitamin-D resistant rickets, and vitamin-D dependent rickets.
- Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) is caused by mutations of the DSPP gene, affecting both dentitions with blue-to-brown discoloration and translucency.
- Dental alterations like concrescence, dens evaginatus, and dilaceration can be idiopathic or due to trauma.
- Hereditary alterations in tooth structure involve complex genetic factors and can affect enamel and dentin formation.
