OH! The term seems so difficult right? Looking fundamentally; the affected teeth appears yellowish to brown compared to rest all teeth in the oral cavity. Teeth are composed of 4 dental tissues namely enamel forming the outermost covering .Then consequentially dentin, cementum and pulp.
So eventually hypoplasia results due to defects in enamel formation.
How it appears differently from the rest of the teeth:
- Yellowish to brown appearance
- White spots on your teeth
- Stained teeth
- Grooves and depressions
- Sensitive teeth
- More cavities
- Short heightened teeth
Evaluating the causes:
- Prenatal issues
- Maternal vit D deficiency
- Smoking habits of mother during pregnancy
- Poor nutrition
- Infectious diseases
- Exposure to different kind of chemicals, drugs etc.
- Trauma to the teeth
- Some inherited disorders
Ultimately the question lies how to correct this defect?
The treatment of tooth hypoplasia depends on how severe your condition is.
- Enamel micro abrasion – This treatment includes usage of acids and abrasive materials such as hydrochloric acid and silicon carbide for removal of stains and discoloration.
- Resin infiltration – This technique includes application of resin on the white spots. This resin reflects the light in the same natural way.
- Porcelain veneers –what, where, and why?
Porcelain veneers are custom made, very thin layer of tooth colored porcelain securely cemented on the front surfaces of natural teeth in order to improve their colour, shade, size, texture and overall appearance for a seamless natural look.
- Dental crowns – what, where and why?
A dental crown may be required to protect a weak tooth from breakage, to restore an already broken tooth, to cover and support a tooth with a large filling, to cover misshaped or severely discoloured teeth, to cover severely attrited tooth or to make a cosmetic modification.
