“…The enamel prisms are irregular and the enamel may occasionally lack a prismatic structure [12], and it is hypoplastic and contains degenerated globular calcifications [30]. There is also hypocalcification of the enamel because residual enamel matrix is frequently seen in demineralized sections [31]. The dentine is thin, and the tubules are reduced in number and tortuous in shape [4].…”

“…Calcified globules and odontogenic epithelial rosettes similar to those found in the dental follicle are also sometimes observed inside this tissue [4]. The calcifications are thought to be the result of: degenerative change of the reduced enamel organ [31]; degenerative change of the connective tissue cells [34]; earlier inflammation [35]; or formation by metaplastic epithelial cells [24].…”

We present a rare case of a developmental anomaly called regional odontodysplasia or 'ghost teeth' in an 8.5-year-old Jordanian girl. The anomaly affected both the mandibular primary and permanent incisors, and the canines bilaterally. The maxillary teeth were unaffected. This is the first case of the anomaly to be reported in Jordan. The clinical, radiographic and histological features are reviewed. The management of affected patients is discussed.

“…9 Local infection, trauma, oral ischemia, somatic mutation, irradiation, metabolic or vitamin deficiency have been discussed as possible etiologies of this developmental disturbance. 6,10, [11][12][13][14][15] Possible causes of the present case could not be determined. Rushton 8 considered that regional odontodysplasia could be caused by either a single act of damage with resulting subsequent abnormalities or continuing insult.…”

“…This condition was first described by McCALL and co-workers in 1947 [1]. Since then, the anomaly has been reported under a variety of names, such as unilateral dental malformation [2], odontodysplasia [3][4][5], odontogenesis imperfecta [6], and localized arrested tooth development [7]. Because this anomaly tends to affect several adjacent teeth within a particular segment or region of the jaw, the term "regional odontodysplasia" has been accepted [6,8,[8][9][10].…”

“…A variety of theories about the etiology of this dental anomaly have been suggested, but none has been completely satisfactory. Some of these theories include local circulatory disorders [6], trauma [2,5], metabolic and nutritional disturbances or vitamin deficiency, and hyperpyrexia [5].…”
