  2. Dental erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_erosion

    If dental erosion occurs in children, a loss of enamel surface characteristics can occur. Amalgam restorations in the mouth may be clean and non-tarnished. As tooth substance around restorations erodes away, fillings may also appear to be rising out of the tooth. The teeth may form divots on the chewing surfaces when dental erosion is occurring.

  3. Tooth loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_loss

    Tooth loss is a process in which one or more teeth come loose and fall out. Tooth loss is normal for deciduous teeth (baby teeth) , when they are replaced by a person's adult teeth . Otherwise, losing teeth is undesirable and is the result of injury or disease, such as dental avulsion , tooth decay , and gum disease .

  4. Enamel hypoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_hypoplasia

    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 ...

  5. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    A loss of the tooth enamel structure and cavitation may occur if the demineralization phase continues for a long period of time. This disturbance of demineralisation caused by the presence of fermentable carbohydrates continues until the saliva has returned to a normal pH and had sufficient time to penetrate and neutralize the acids within any ...

  6. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    The enamel on primary teeth has a more opaque crystalline form and thus appears whiter than on permanent teeth. The large amount of mineral in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. [6] Tooth enamel ranks 5 on Mohs hardness scale (between steel and titanium) and has a Young's modulus of 83 GPa. [4]

  7. Molar incisor hypomineralisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_Incisor_Hypominerali...

    MIH-affected teeth are more prone to breakdown as they are hypomineralised which weakens the enamel structure. [21] Restorations placed on MIH-affected teeth were found to be more prone to failure due to both loss of tooth structure and material loss. [22] The enamel can also fracture more easily due to chewing forces. [23]
