Dental Developmental Defects

Developmental Defects of teeth usually involve number, size, shape, color and dental tissue quality.  These defects could involve either a sinlge tooth or a whole group of teeth.  Reports have shown that their presence causes both esthetic and psychological problems in children.

Nowadays, the evolution of restorative materials and techniques allow the Pediatric Dentist to successfully restore these teeth and achieve the desired esthetic result.
