Regional odontodysplasia
General information
Also called ghost teeth
It is an unusual development anomaly in which ectodermal
and mesodermal tooth component are affected
It is a localised arrest in tooth development
In this condition all the elements of tooth are hypocalcified
and hypoplastic
Aetiology
It has uncertain aetiology
Factors like trauma, infection, local ischaemia,
local vascular defect, genetic transmission, local
somatic mutation and activation of latent
viruses are suggested as etiological agents
Clinical features
Most frequently affected teeth are permanent Central incisors,
lateral incisors and cuspids
Affected teeth are small and mottled brown
Teeth are susceptible to caries
either delay or total failure of eruption
gingival swelling adjacent to the tooth surface is common
occurrence
Radiographic features
Ghost teeth – marked reduction in density, so that the teeth
assume ghost appearance. Ghost teeth that do not erupt are so
hypomineralized and hypoplastic that they appear to be resorbing
Shell teeth – sometimes only the shell of enamel remain on the
tooth, this appearance is called as shell teeth
Pulp and root – pulp chamber is very large with wide root canals
Diagnosis
Clinical diagnosis – irregular shaped
teeth with Brown discolouration
Radiological diagnosis – shell teeth
appearance seen radiographically
Management
Many suggest to extract involved
tooth at the earliest which is
followed by prosthetic replacement
Restorative procedures – root canal
treatment should be carried out and
tooth should be saved
