Amelogenesis imperfecta

From WikiLectures

Amelogenesis imperfecta

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetically based autosomal dominant disease.

With it, the enamel is soft, pliable and insufficiently calcified. The dentition is yellow to brown in color. The teeth are covered with a layer of abnormally formed enamel, through which the adjacent dentin shines through (hence the yellow-brown color).
