- Abstract
Enamel Hypoplasia is a defect in enamel synthesis which can be quantitative or qualitative. Hypoplasia of enamel is visible as grooves or depressions on the surface due to reduction in its layers. Linear Enamel Hypoplasia is a specific type of environmental hypoplasia and differs from genetic forms of hypoplasia in the following waysthe lesions are usually symmetrical and ring like defects involving several teeth. Several environmental factors act at different periods of time and for variable amount of time thus producing a range of hypoplasia. Linear Enamel Hypoplasia predisposes to several other problems and requires earliest attention. Multiplicity and severity of these lesions make treatment complex, hence requiring early detection to prevent further enamel breakdown and prompt treatment to prevent severe morbidity associated with this disease.
