Abstract
Developmental defects of enamel a commonly encountered condition in
both primary and permanent teeth enamel. Ameloblasts being highly specialized cells
are highly sensitive to a host of environmental factors. As a result, a large number of
factors can cause hypomineralization. Of the various hypoplastic and
hypomineralization defects affecting the enamel, this chapter focuses on a distinct
condition of hypomineralization involving mainly the molar and incisor teeth.
Keywords: Cheese molars, Hypoplasia, Idiopathic enamel opacities, Internal enamel hypoplasia, MIH, Non-endemic mottling of the enamel, Post eruptive breakdown.
