Journal Title: Dentistry – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Here we present a case of a 7-year-old Japanese girl with regional odontodysplasia affecting tooth numbers 24, 25, 26, and 27. No other teeth were affected. Partially erupted tooth number 26 had a rough enamel surface and was yellow-brown in color. Tooth numbers 24, 25, and 27 had not erupted. Radiographically, numbers 24, 25, 26, and 27 seemed to be undeveloped with large pulp chambers, short roots, and open apices, and exhibited the so-called ghostlike appearance. Histopathologically, number 26 had uneven thin enamel and dentin, revealing hypoplasia and hypocalcification, and irregular dentinal tubes. The patient was followed up for 6 years and had similarity normal occlusion.
