title: [Relevance of histopathologic diagnosis in amelogenesis imperfecta].
abstract: The aim of the study was the determination of the correlation between the morphostructural aspects of the enamel defects and the clinical diagnostic and the nosologic kinds of these diseases. The research was made on 600 children from Iassy between 7-11 years old, who were examined in natural light. The index used for the systematization of the data was EDS. We used 21 temporary teeth and we examined these teeth on an optic microscope. The study show that there is no absolute correlation between the morphostructural aspects of the enamel defects and the clinical aspects of the lesions, and the clinical defect may not be always associate to the dysplasia from the imperfect amelogenesis.
