Linear enamel hypoplasia

Linear enamel hypoplasia is a failure of the tooth enamel to develop correctly during growth, leaving bands of reduced enamel on a tooth surface.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] [8][9][10][11] It is the most common type of enamel hypoplasia reported in clinical and archaeological samples, with other types including plane-form enamel hypoplasia and pitting enamel hypoplasia.[12]

Enamel hypoplasia example

Linear enamel hypoplasia can be caused by a variety of factors, from genetic conditions to malnutrition and illnesses during childhood.
