Abstract :

Regional odontodysplasia (ROD) is a developmental anomaly of teeth involving both mesodermal and ectodermal components in primary or permanent dentition with distinctive clinical, radiographic and histological findings.They have characteristic radiographic findings of ghost teeth appearance. Numerous factors have been suggested to explain the etiopathogenesis of RO.It shows a slight female predominence.Maxilla is most commonly affected (2.5:1) with a predilection for the anterior teeth.There will be delayed eruption of the affected teeth or sometime it does not occur at all. Here we are reporting a case of regional odontodysplasia affecting the entire left quadrant of mandible in a two year old female child.Ultrastructural findings of affected tooth are also presented here.
