Fluorosis presents as irregular, diffuse enamel opacities which affect more than one tooth, in contrast to the well-demarcated borders of hypomineralised enamel seen in MIH. Amelogenesis imperfecta, a genetic condition; thus, there may be a history of similar defects in other family members. This condition affects both the primary and permanent ...
The diagnosis is made by the clinical picture and the chest X-ray, which demonstrates decreased lung volumes (bell-shaped chest), absence of the thymus (after about six hours), a small (0.5–1 mm), discrete, uniform infiltrate (sometimes described as a "ground glass" appearance or "diffuse airspace and interstitial opacities") that involves ...
Budtz-Jorgensen & Bertram (1970) used different terminology for the same changes: (1) Simple localized inflammation, (2) Simple diffuse (generalized) inflammation, and (3) Granular inflammation.

Helps prevent premature tooth loss of baby teeth due to decay and overall assists in guiding the adult teeth to correct tooth eruption. [citation needed] Aids in the prevention of invasive dental treatment therefore reducing the amount of money spent on dental treatment [citation needed]
High-resolution CT image showing ground-glass opacities in the periphery of both lungs in a patient with COVID-19 (red arrows). The adjacent normal lung tissue with lower attenuation appears as darker areas. Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a finding seen on chest x-ray (radiograph) or computed tomography (CT) imaging of the lungs.
Tooth pathology is any condition of the teeth that can be congenital or acquired. Sometimes a congenital tooth disease is called a tooth abnormality.These are among the most common diseases in humans [1] The prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of these diseases are the base to the dentistry profession, in which are dentists and dental hygienists, and its sub-specialties, such ...
Adenoid hypertrophy is characterized by a number of typical signs and symptoms, including conductive hearing loss, recurrent otitis media (including cholesteatoma), mucopurulent rhinorrhea, chronic mouth breathing, nasal airway obstruction, increased susceptibility to infection, and occasionally dental malposition.
Idiopathic osteosclerosis, also known as enostosis or dense bone island, is a condition which may be found around the roots of a tooth, usually a premolar or molar. [2] It is usually painless and found during routine radiographs as an amorphous radiopaque (light) area around a tooth.
