Barcumar Dentin dysplasia is an autosomal-dominant trait that effects dentin, There are two subcategories for dentin dysplasia, radicular dentin dysplasia (Type 1) and coronal dentin dysplasia (Type II). This condition does not correspond with our diagnosis because dentin Abigail Maxwell; Savannah Gore; Katelyn Elliot DHYG 1339 Brown September 30, 2019 dysplasia’s defect show a total or partial or lack of pulp chambers and root canals. Pulp chambers can be seen as blunted with short tooth roots that have a half-moon appearance on the radiographs. Globular or nodular masses of dentin can be seen, Macrodontia is an uncommon developmental anomaly in which one or more teeth in a dentition are larger than normal. This rare condition is usually seen with mandibular third molars. Individuals with normal or slightly larger-than-normal teeth in small jaws have relative ‘generalized Macrodontia, Since this finding is associated with the size of the crown and not cannot be our diagnosis we elongated pulp chambers, Regional odontodysplasia also known as ghost teeth is a developmental abnormality that affects all the caleified structures of the involved teeth. This does not show to be hereditary but instead is caused locally decreased blood supply to the developing tooth buds. Radiogeaphically, this development can exhibit a marked reduction in radio density and a characteristic ghostlike appearance, Occasionally, the enamel is not even visible on the radiograph.
