“…As with enamel defects, early diagnosis and preventive care are essential for successful management of dentine defects . Children who have a family history of dentine defects such as dentinogenesis imperfecta or those with medical conditions known to be associated with dentine defects such as hypophosphataemia and osteogenesis imperfecta should be screened early for dental problems.…”

Abnormalities of enamel and dentine are caused by a variety of interacting factors ranging from genetic defects to environmental insults. The genetic changes associated with some types of enamel and dentine defects have been mapped, and many environmental influences, including medical illnesses that can damage enamel and dentine have been identified. Developmental enamel defects may present as enamel hypoplasia or hypomineralization while dentine defects frequently demonstrate aberrant calcifications and abnormalities of the dentine-pulp complex. Clinically, developmental enamel defects often present with problems of discolouration and aesthetics, tooth sensitivity, and susceptibility to caries, wear and erosion. In contrast, dentine defects are a risk for endodontic complications resulting from dentine hypomineralization and pulpal abnormalities. The main goals of managing developmental abnormalities of enamel and dentine are early diagnosis and improvement of appearance and function by preserving the dentition and preventing complications. However, despite major advances in scientific knowledge regarding the causes of enamel and dentine defects, further research is required in order to translate the knowledge gained in the basic sciences research to accurate clinical diagnosis and successful treatment of the defects.Keywords: Enamel, dentine, hypoplasia, hypomineralization.Abbreviations and acronyms: AI = amelogenesis imperfecta; BSP = bone sialoprotein; CPP-ACP = calcium phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate; DMP1 = dentine matrix protein 1; DSPP = dentine sialophosphoprotein; EB = epidermolysis bullosa; EDI = Enamel Defects Index; FGF = fibroblast growth factor; MEPE = matrix extracellular phosphorylated glycoprotein; MIH = molar-incisor hypomineralization; OPN = osteopontin; TDO = tricho-dento-osseous.

“…In addition to caries, the thinner and weaker hypoplastic or hypomineralized enamel predisposes the DDE teeth to tooth wear. Kazoullis and co‐workers reported a strong association of dental erosion with enamel hypoplasia and Seow and Taji proposed that this is likely to be due to easy dissolution of hypomineralized teeth to ingested acids …”

Developmental enamel defects, presenting as enamel hypoplasia or opacities are caused by damage or disruption to the developing enamel organ as a result of inherited and acquired systemic conditions. The high prevalence of these defects in the primary dentition demonstrates the vulnerability of the teeth to changes in the pre-and postnatal environment. The presence of enamel hypoplasia increases the risk of primary teeth to early childhood caries and tooth wear as the defective enamel is thinner, more plaque retentive and less resistant to dissolution in acid compared to normal enamel. The purpose of this paper was to critically review the aetiology and clinical complications of developmental enamel defects in the primary dentition and propose recommendations for the clinical management of affected teeth.Keywords: Enamel hypoplasia, enamel opacities, early childhood caries, primary dentition.Abbreviations and acronyms: CMV = cytomegalovirus; CPP-ACP = casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate; DDE = developmental defects of enamel; EEC = early childhood caries; HAS-ECC = hypoplasia-associated ECC; MIH = molar-incisor hypoplasia; SEM = scanning electron microscopic.

Many conditions or pathologies can modify teeth surfaces and cause several functional and esthetic problems. Congenital dental defects and tooth wear are two of the most important reasons of dental tissue changes. Nowadays, the prevalence of tooth wear is increasing because of a high incidence of non-physiological tooth wear especially in young people. However, distinguishing dental defects originated from tooth wear or developmental dental defects is crucial to plan the most suitable treatment. Then the aim of this work is to present the different pathological conditions caused by these two etiological factors as well as the underlying biochemical mechanisms and incorrect habits related.
