Enamel appears to be comparable to dentine in its radiodensity on radiographs. Type 3 - Hypocalcified Enamel defect due to malfunction of enamel calcification, therefore enamel is of normal thickness but is extremely brittle, with an opaque/chalky presentation. Teeth are prone to staining and rapid wear, exposing dentine.

Discoloured teeth - teeth may be amber, brown, blue or opalescent; Bulbous shape to the tooth crown due to cervical constriction; Tooth wear/Non-carious tooth surface loss (NCTSL) - due to the poorly mineralised dentine, the enamel of the tooth is unsupported and subsequently shears or chips off as it is subjected to biting forces. This exposes ...
The white opaque areas in the enamel of the teeth are more extensive but do involve as much as 50% of the tooth. Moderate: 4: All enamel surfaces of the teeth are affected and surfaces subject to attrition show wear. Brown stain is frequently a disfiguring feature Severe: 5: All enamel surfaces are affected and hypoplasia is so marked that the ...
Teeth displaying enamel hypoplasia lines, linear defects of enamel that form during crowns development as a result of periods of nutritional stress or disease during infancy and childhood. Enamel hypoplasia is a risk factor for dental caries in children including early childhood caries (ECC), which continues to be a burden for many children.
