Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Enamel hypoplasia causes a reduction in the thickness of affected enamel and is one of the most common dental anomalies. This defect is caused by environmental and/or genetic factors that interfere with tooth formation, emphasizing the importance of investigating enamel hypoplasia on an epidemiological and genetic level. METHODS: A genome-wide association of enamel hypoplasia was performed in...
