ABSTRACT
Salmani S, Seydi N, Elyasi
E, Ghashghaii A., Incidence of enamel hypoplasia in a
cohort of 540 dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 21(11):707-709, 2017. Tooth enamel is highly
mineralized, durable, and does not remodel or repair. Hereditary Amelogenesis imperfecta results when insufficient
enamel matrix is formed on teeth during development/eruption. Nearly all teeth and
surfaces are involved. Severe systemic infections such as canine distemper
virus in puppies during tooth eruption or poor nutrition also causes poor
enamel. We
examined 540 dogs during 6 months referred for various clinical conditions
including hypoplasia of enamel. Results showed that 11 dogs (2%) had the
condition 1 due to canine distemper and 10 to hypocalcemia.
Key words- Enamel
hypoplasia, Canine Distemper, Hypocalcemia, Dogs.
