Odontoclasia - what does this mean

Odontoclasia is a condition caused by the abnormal eruption of teeth due to an imbalance in the hormones that control the process. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, trauma, and certain medications. it is characterized by the premature eruption of teeth, resulting in overcrowding, misalignment, and other dental problems.

What happens during the disease - odontoclasia

Odontoclasia is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal development and destruction of the teeth. it is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for the production of enamel proteins, which leads to abnormal enamel formation. this causes the enamel to become brittle and prone to cracking, leading to the destruction of the teeth and eventual tooth loss.
