“…Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a sporadic developmental anomaly that is still ambiguous yet it provokes questions regarding its pathogenesis. It is defined as a localized non hereditary developmental anomaly with adverse effects on the formation of dental tissues (Gardner and Sapp, 1973, Lustmann et al, 1975).…”

Background and objectiveRegional odontodysplasia (RO) is a localized developmental anomaly involving both dentitions. The characteristic clinical findings are soft discolored several contiguous teeth with atypical morphology associated with swelling or abscess formation. Radiographic images of the involved teeth show a ghost-like appearance because enamel and dentin are hypoplastic and hypocalcified. Although RO is known for more than seven decades, the literature on RO is mostly limited to case reports.The objective of this investigation was to provide an updated review of the literature with regards to clinical presentation and epidemiology of RO. Because of its rarity, retrospective analysis of the published reports across the world is considered one of the most appropriate available methods to analyze epidemiological and clinical data of RO. This review was reported and conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.ResultsBetween 1953 and 2017, 161 cases were reported in literatures written in English. At the time of diagnosis, the age of the patients ranged between 1 and 25 years. There was slight female predilection with a ratio of 1.37: 1. When examined collectively, the maxilla was commonly affected compared to the mandible. RO occurred in both dentitions in 75 reported cases. While it affects the deciduous teeth alone in 19.3% and the permanent teeth in 34.2% of the cases. Failure of tooth eruption was the most common presenting finding (41.6%) followed by swelling of the affected area (32.3%).ConclusionAlthough RO was first described almost 80 years ago and the total subsequent case reports were over 160 cases, there is no consensus on its pathogenesis and how it should be treated. The descriptive nature of the examined case reports reveals the limited information on this condition. Further experimental and genetic studies are needed.

“…This anomaly has no reported association with any specific racial group; however female is slightly more affected than male at ratio of 1.4 : 1 [1]. Although this anomaly usually affects dental tissues, case reports have documented the presence of regional odontodysplasia with epidermal nevus syndrome [2, 3], hypoplasia of the affected side of the face [4], hypophosphatasia [5], hydrocephalus and mental retardation [6], and ipsilateral vascular nevi [4, 7]. The etiology remains uncertain of many possible causes that have been proposed in the literature.…”

“…Regional odontodysplasia typically affects one quadrant of the jaw, although it does occasionally cross the midline [7, 13–15]; however there are few cases where this anomaly has affected either the maxillary and mandibular quadrants of the same side [16, 17] or both quadrants of the same jaw [16, 18] and it is extremely rare for the anomaly to affect all four quadrants [13, 19]. Affected teeth are usually in a continuous series, although it may skip a tooth or a group of teeth [12].…”

Regional odontodysplasia (ROD) is uncommon developmental anomaly, which tends to be localised and involves the ectodermal and mesodermal tooth components. A five-year-old female was referred to Department of Child Dental Health at the Leeds Dental Institute regarding malformed primary teeth. On examination 64, 74, and 72 had localised hypomineralized enamel defect. The crown of 55 was broken down with only the root remaining below the gingival level. 54 has a yellowish brown discolouration with rough irregular surface. The upper anterior teeth show mild enamel opacity. Radiographically, 55 and 54 had thin radioopaque contour, showing poor distinction between the enamel and dentine and the classic feature of a wide pulp chamber. 15, 16, and 17 were developmentally delayed and were displaying the characteristic “ghost appearance.” Comprehensive dental care was done under local anaesthesia and it included extraction of the primary molars affected by ROD, stainless steel crown on 64, and caries prevention program. Fifteen months following the initial assessment the patient's oral condition remains stable and she is under regular follow-up at the department. Paediatric dentists should be aware of this anomaly as it involves both dentitions and usually requires multidisciplinary care.

A bstract A rare dental developmental anomaly known as regional odontodysplasia (RO) manifests itself in hypoplastic and hypomineralized teeth with discolored yellow to brown enamel. Radiographically, the affected tooth appears as a shell tooth with a large pulp chamber and a thin layer of teeth structure. The treatment plan is not well-established, and a multidisciplinary approach is often needed. However, a literature review revealed that most of the studies regarding RO are case reports, and more research, including epidemiological, genetic, and experimental studies, is needed to understand this condition better. Additionally, the cause of this anomaly is currently unknown. Removing the affected tooth is a controversial matter, and the treatment options should be chosen on an individual basis, considering the patient's goals for treatment. This report describes an uncommon case of an 8-year-old girl who has RO affecting the front teeth in the upper jaw and a long-standing infection caused by actinomycosis.
