Amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism.

Reports of families having a combination of amelogenesis imperfecta and taurodontism are limited. This study of members of three families shows that the combination is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In each of the patients examined, neither condition was seen without the other. The enamel was rough and dysplastic and varied in color from white to yellow. Radiographically, taurodontism was present in the deciduous and permanent dentitions. The pulp chambers of the incisor teeth were larger than is usually seen at all ages. All patients had normal-appearing hair, fingernails, and bones. The distinction between amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism and the tricho-dento-osseous syndrome is discussed.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Maternal diabetes and changes in the hard tissues of primary teeth. III. A histologic and microradiographic study.

According to clinical studies, infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) seem to run a higher risk of mineralization disturbances in the enamel than normal healthy infants. In order to evaluate this observation at the histologic level, exfoliated primary incisors were collected from 74 IDM, representing two types of care during gestation and the perinatal period, and from 52 healthy children. The width of the neonatal line was evaluated in the enamel and the dentin by study of bucco-lingual undemineralized sections. Pre- and postnatal enamel was classified according to discolorations, deviations of prisms and hypoplasia. Microradiographic studies included measurements of the neonatal lines and classification of the degree of mineralization in the pre- and postnatal dental hard tissues. Irrespective of treatment, the IDM showed a significantly higher incidence of widened neonatal lines and also an increased frequency of postnatal disturbances compared to the controls. The observations are discussed against the background of the neonatal hypocalcemia reported in IDM.
