Association between Estrogen Receptors Alpha and Beta and Developmental Defects of Enamel: Cross-Sectional Study

Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research, 2023
Background: The genes encoding estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ESR1 and ESR2) are expressed during odontogenesis and may be involved in developmental defects of enamel (DDEs). Aims: To investigate the association between DDE and genetic polymorphisms

Management of developmental enamel defects in the primary dentition

Journal of Oral Science, 2017
This study attempted to identify appropriate materials for restoration of enamel defects in the primary dentition, which were classified by severity and region with the modified developmental defects of enamel index. To identify the most appropriate materials, we used restorative materials to protect teeth and evaluated clinical outcomes of restoration.
