title: Paediatric dentistry in the new millennium: 6. Dental anomalies in children.
abstract: Developmental defects of the human dentition are not uncommon and can adversely affect the physical and psychological health of children. This paper reviews briefly the most common dental defects that can occur during childhood and discusses in more detail defects of enamel and dentine. Guidelines are provided for clinicians to identify children who deviate from normal dental development in order to provide appropriate interventions or make appropriate referrals.
