attrition
loss of tooth structure due to tooth-to-tooth contact from mastication and occlusion (normal wear and tear)
attrition accelerated by
accelerated by poor quality or absent enamel, premature edge-to-edge occlusion, intraoral abrasives, erosion, and grinding habits
Internal resorption is caused by
cells located in dental pulp. Rare, usually follows injury to pulpal tissues.
dentin is eatin away (dentinoplasts)
External resorption is caused by
cells in the periodontal ligament. Most patients are likely to have root resorption on one or more teeth
Visible environmental enamel defects can be classified into one of three patterns:
1. Enamel hypoplasia
2. Diffuse opacities of enamel
3. Demarcated opacities (spotty) of enamel
Enamel hypoplasia
pits, grooves, or larger areas of missing enamel
Diffuse opacities of enamel
variations in translucency or normal thickness; increased white opacity with no clear boundary with adjacent normal enamel

Type III Hypocalcified form: diffuse AD/AR

Type IV Hypomaturation-hypoplastic or hypoplastic-hypomaturation with taurodontism; AD
Hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Inadequate deposition of enamel matrix

Generalized pattern – pinpoint sized pits scattered across surface of teeth

Localized pattern – horizontal rows of pits, linear depression or one large area of hypoplastic enamel

Autosomal dominant smooth pattern – smooth surface, enamel is thin, hard, and glossy

X-linked dominant smooth pattern – alternating zones of normal and abnormal enamel related to active X chromosomes
Hypomaturation Amelogenesis Imperfecta

3 patterns
Enamel matrix laid down appropriately and begins to mineralize, but there is defective maturation of enamel’s crystal structure; normal shape but abnormal mottled, opaque white-brown color

Pigmented pattern (AR) – surface enamel is mottled and brown

X-linked pattern – deciduous are opaque white; permanent are yellow-white that darken with age

Snow-capped pattern – zone of white opaque enamel on incisal or occlusal surface of the crown
Hypocalcified Amelogenesis Imperfecta
Enamel matrix laid down appropriately but no significant mineralization occurs (very soft enamel)

Teeth yellow-brown to orange
Hypomaturation/hypoplastic Amelogenesis Imperfecta

2 types
