Abstract

Enamel hypoplasia is the most common abnormality
of development and mineralisation of human teeth.
The lesion is characterised by a quantitative defect in
enamel tissue resulting from an undetermined metabolic
injury to the formative cells—the ameloblasts.
Clinically, enamel hypoplasia is seen as a roughened
surface with discreet pitting or circumferential band like
irregularities which posteruptively acquire a yellow
brown stain.
