“…Criteria for classification of enamel opacities have, however, been much debated, in particular as a result of claimed difficul ties in differentiating between milder degrees of dental fluorosis according to Dean's clini cal diagnoses and enamel opacities of other origin [Young, 1973;Jackson et al, 1975;Al-Alousi et al" 1975;Small and Murray, 1978;Murray and Shaw, 1979], For this reason it has been suggested that all kinds of enamel defects be classified on the basis of arbitrary clinical criteria only [Anderson, 1942;Young, 1973;Jackson et al" 19751. More recent understanding of the patho genesis of dental fluorosis [Fejerskov et al, 1977;Thylstrup, 1979] justifies, however, a reconsideration of the suitability of this ap proach when evaluating the biological effect of fluoride upon enamel formation.…”

Assessment of dental fluorosis and localized enamel opacities was performed amongst children resident in areas having < 0.2, 1.0 and 2.4 parts/10⁶ F^- in the drinking water. Evaluation of dental fluorosis was done by Dean’s classification system as well as the clinicohistological system described by Thylstrup and Fejerskov in 1978. F_ci was 0.02, 0.56 and 1.33 respectively, and the pattern of dental fluorosis within the dentition followed that previously described for high fluoride areas. The dental fluorosis score for the buccal surface of the first maxillary premolar was disclosed by statistical analysis as representative for the dentition. Corroboration between Dean’s and the clinicohistological scoring system occurred in 47% of cases. Localized enamel opacities were observed in 43, 37 and 33% of children of the three areas respectively. An observed marked tendency towards decreasing proportions of localized enamel opacities in teeth with more pronounced dental fluorosis indicated that fluoride-induced enamel porosities mask localized opacities. Thus, the clinicohistological classification system is considered the most appropriate method for describing an individual’s exposure to fluoride during the period of tooth formation.

“…Enamel hypoplasia can be influenced by hereditary causes related to autosomal dominant or recessive genes or X-linked, where both dentitions are affected. [4][5][6][7] Enamel hypoplasia can also be traced to nutritional deficiencies, such as, exanthemata's diseases, hypocalcemia, congenital syphilis, inflammation or trauma during dental development, chemical substances, and idiopathic factors.…”

Due to their benefits, including immediate aesthetics, minimum invasion, cost effectiveness, adhesion to tooth structure, and chair side treatment options, direct anterior composite restorative procedures have been very popular in recent years. The most frequent reason for tissue loss in the aesthetic zone of the dentition is a severe damage to the dental hard tissue. The aesthetic restoration of maxillary central incisors with cracked incisal edges is difficult, difficult, and technique-sensitive. Success depends on the knowledge and abilities of the operator. It's crucial that the different hues are positioned with the appropriate thickness in addition to accurately recreating the anatomy. This case study demonstrates how to replicate the palatal structure of teeth that require aesthetic restoration using a putty index technique.
