Turner's hypoplasia or Turner's tooth is a presentation of enamel hypoplasia that normally affects only a single tooth. Its causes can be the same as other forms of enamel hypoplasia, but it is most commonly associated with trauma to a primary maxillary central incisor and the subsequent developmental disturbance of the underlying permanent ...
Typically with PEH described in archaeological reports, researchers can not specify a cause, with a non-specific stress often concluded. However, in modern clinical studies it is often possible to suggest a cause and these can include the following conditions: [1] hypocalcaemia; vitamin D deficiency; amelogenesis imperfecta; nutritional deficiency
One of the consequences may be an adult tooth intercepting with a baby tooth, causing premature loss or wrong positioning. This can be due to either the absence of neighboring teeth acting as a guide during eruption or the lack of space in the jaw for them to erupt into because of malocclusion.
The most common cause of rickets is a vitamin D deficiency, although hereditary genetic forms also exist. [2] This can result from eating a diet without enough vitamin D, dark skin, too little sun exposure, exclusive breastfeeding without vitamin D supplementation, celiac disease, and certain genetic conditions.
Popcorn Can Cause Significant Dental Problems Teeth can break when you inadvertently bite on an unpopped kernel, says Dr. Kenneth Magid, D.D.S., founder of Advanced Dentistry of Westchester in New ...
The genetic cause of ED lies in mutations, or changes, in certain genes that play an essential role in forming ectodermal structures. These genes are part of signalling pathways—most notably, the EDA/NF-kappaB pathway—which guide the development of hair, skin, nails, teeth, and glands during embryonic growth.
People with amelogenesis imperfecta may have teeth with abnormal color: yellow, brown or grey; this disorder can affect any number of teeth of both dentitions. Enamel hypoplasia manifests in a variety of ways depending on the type of AI an individual has (see below), with pitting and plane-form defects common. [ 4 ]
Fluoride or fluorine deficiency is a disorder which may cause increased dental caries [1] and possibly osteoporosis, [2] [3] due to a lack of fluoride in diet. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Common dietary sources of fluoride include tea, grape juice, wine, raisins, some seafood, coffee, and tap water that has been fluoridated . [ 6 ]
