Although caries tops the list of pathologies related to our mouth and, therefore, the ones we treat in dentistry and dental clinics around the world, there are many others and we have dealt with dozens of them in this blog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why in this post we are going to talk about dental hypocalcification, which, as its name suggests, is an anomaly in which the level of calcium present in the enamel is lower than what is considered 'normal' or 'advisable', to the point that it causes complications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These teeth do not have the right level of mineralisation, which makes their structure weaker than normal, thus making them more vulnerable to knocks or pathogens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hypocalcification is therefore an anomaly that needs to be treated. But first, let us explain a few things about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Causes of dental hypocalcification<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although this disorder shares certain similarities with others such as MIH or hypoplasia, such as the possibility of appearing before the eruption of teeth, it should not be confused and, in fact, we have more information about its causes than about those of MIH, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us look at some of them:<\/span><\/p>\n

Genetic factors<\/span><\/h3>\n

Genetic inheritance is considered to be one of the most important causes of diseases affecting the enamel. In particular, the cause of dental hypocalcification is known as amelogenesis imperfecta, a dental development disorder that causes the aforementioned malformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Problems during tooth eruption\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enamel hypocalcification can also appear in some cases in which the teeth, for various reasons, suffer complications and do not follow the different phases or stages of dentition that should be followed in the normal way. This could be:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Early eruption<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Late eruption<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Presence of malocclusion or bite problems<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Retained or impacted teeth<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Supraeruption: teeth that protrude out of their arch when not in contact with their antagonist.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Concrescence: fusion between the roots of different pieces that form a single crown.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
