2. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

   Enamel is formed on the tooth while the tooth develops within the jaw bone before it erupts into the mouth. Once fully formed, enamel does not contain blood vessels or nerves, and is not made of cells. Remineralisation of teeth can repair damage to the tooth to a certain degree but damage beyond that cannot be repaired by the body.

3. Amelogenesis imperfecta - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelogenesis_imperfecta

   Enamel is composed mostly of mineral, that is formed and regulated by the proteins in it. Amelogenesis imperfecta is due to the malfunction of the proteins in the enamel ( ameloblastin , enamelin , tuftelin and amelogenin ) as a result of abnormal enamel formation via amelogenesis .

4. Plane-form enamel hypoplasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane-form_enamel_hypoplasia

   Plane-form enamel hypoplasia is a dental condition that is distinguished by defects in the teeth enamel, that can occur due to genetic and/or environmental factors. It is common for the disease to occur during the developmental stages of the teeth, and childhood illnesses, such as respiratory infections, are often linked to disturbance of the enamel formation [5] [6].

5. Enamel hypoplasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_hypoplasia

   Treatment with other topical agents, such as calcium phosphate , may also be effective in the remineralization of areas with congenital or carious enamel defects. [19] In decayed teeth with enamel defects, only bonded restorations (e.g. glass ionomer, polyacid-modified composite resin and not amalgam) should be placed and cavity margins should ...

6. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

   Secondary dentin is formed after root formation is finished and occurs at a much slower rate. It is not formed at a uniform rate along the tooth, but instead forms faster along sections closer to the crown of a tooth. [33] This development continues throughout life and accounts for the smaller areas of pulp found in older individuals. [32]

7. Human tooth - Wikipedia

   Enamel and dentin do not regenerate after they mineralize initially. Enamel hypoplasia is a condition in which the amount of enamel formed is inadequate. [59] This results either in pits and grooves in areas of the tooth or in widespread absence of enamel. Diffuse opacities of enamel does not affect the amount of enamel but changes its appearance.
