Enamel hypoplasia is a defect of the teeth in which the enamel is hard but thin and deficient in amount,[1] caused by defective enamel matrix formation with a deficiency of vitamin D in the body. Usually the condition involves part of the tooth having a pit in it. In some cases, the natural enamel crown has a hole in it, and in extreme cases, the tooth has no enamel, which doesn't mean the tooth doesn't exist because dentin is also a component of teeth.
Causes
It can be caused by any of the following:
- Nutritional factors.[2]
- Some diseases (such as undiagnosed and untreated celiac disease,[3][4][5] chicken pox, congenital syphilis[2]).
- Hypocalcemia.[2]
- Fluoride ingestion (dental fluorosis).[2]
- Birth injury.[2]
- Preterm birth.[2]
- Infection.[2]
- Trauma from a deciduous tooth.[2]
