Abstract

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) in permanent teeth is a rare developmental anomaly of mineralized tissues. Three-dimensional images and data from CBCT allowed to provide useful information on the degree of tooth calcification and consequently confirm the diagnosis of RO and establish a treatment strategy to minimize future damages and sequels.

Keywords: cone‐beam computed tomography; permanent maxillary incisors; primary teeth; regional odontodysplasia; sequelae of trauma.
