title: Single tooth odontodysplasia. Case report.
abstract: Odontodysplasia (ghost tooth) is an uncommon, nonhereditary developmental condition of unknown origin, affecting both mesodermal and ectodermal elements of the dental organ. To our knowledge, this case is unique in that it is only the second reported case of odontodysplasia affecting a single tooth. Based on clinical, radiographic and histologic findings, we diagnosed this tooth as a ghost tooth.
