| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate histologically and biochemically the mechanism of developmental defect of tooth structures. The materials were dental hard tissues which were respectively affected with hereditary ameloge nesis imperfeta, disorder of endocrine glands and odontodysplasia. The specimens prepared from the extracted teeth were observed optically as well as electton microscopically, and then tooth substances were analyzed chemically by using the enamel biopsy technique.
The results obtained were as follows : (1) A characteristic feature of the enamel structure of hereditary amelogenesis imperfecta was the globular type of mineralisation and Liesengang ring-like alternating layrs of mineral. TEM photograph showed two different sizes of crystals in the rod structures. (2) Calcitonin level in serum (287pg/ml) was specifically high in the case of disorder of endocrine glands. The histological observation was characteritic that any odontoclasts were not seen in the root resorption sites. (3) Inthe Ghost teeth of odontodysplasia, the mantle dentin in the crown was showed dysplasia, but the dentin in the root was normal.
