Regional Odontodysplasia in a Juvenile Dog
How is regional odontodysplasia distinguished from other conditions affecting the development of teeth?
because all of the histologic elements of the dental organ: enamel, dentin, and cementum are abnormal in the affected teeth, while the other teeth in the same individual are normal

Regional Odontodysplasia in a Juvenile Dog
What is different in conditions like dentinal dysplasia, dentinal amelogenesis, and dentinogenesis imperfecta?
similar to RO; however, these conditions affect the entire dentition

Regional Odontodysplasia in a Juvenile Dog
What histological changes are seen in affected teeth?
Marked reduction in the amount of dentin and an irregular tubular pattern of dentin.
Dentin has areas of interglobular substance.
Radicular dentin is generally more normal in structure and calcification.
There is hypocalcification of the hypoplastic enamel
