HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Developmental hypoplasia of the dental enamel.
Comment:Enamel hypoplasia can be caused by genetic or environmental factors. It may occur in both deciduous and permanent dentitions, although more often in the permanent dentition. Enamel hypoplasia may concern a single tooth, several teeth, or the complete dentition and may affect part or the complete surface of the tooth. Enamel hypoplasia regroups different clinical aspects: localized hypoplasia, generalized hypoplasia, enamel pits, enamel striae, and grooves defects. The term should be used to describe a quantitative defect of enamel. Enamel hypotrophy cannot be used as hypotrophy indicates loss of cells, whereas enamel is an acellular structure and thus not a tissue.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Dental enamel hypoplasia;   Enamel hypotrophy;   Enamel, underdeveloped;   Hypoplasia of dental enamel;   Hypoplasia of tooth enamel;   Underdeveloped teeth enamel
 broad_synonym: Defective enamel matrix;   Thin dental enamel;   Thin tooth enamel
 related_synonym: Dysplasia of tooth enamel;   Enamel dysplasia
