Radiographic Features of Enamel Hypoplasia
Defect Type: Quantitative defect involving missing or thin enamel.
Appearance: Pits, missing enamel, or grooves show up as dark or radiolucent areas on the tooth crown.
Clinical vs. Radiographic: While clinical inspection may show brown/yellow horizontal spots or staining, the structural absence/thinning of the high-density enamel layer creates localized radiolucencies on X-rays
