At DentalClinic24, we rely on the expertise of Professor Alexander von Breuer, who emphasizes that enamel hypoplasia is not just a cosmetic issue – it is a structural defect that requires precise diagnostics and a carefully planned treatment strategy. We follow this principle, because understanding the origin of the defect is the key to choosing the right therapeutic approach – without unnecessary interventions and with maximum preservation of natural tissues.
Enamel hypoplasia develops when the enamel fails to form properly during early childhood. The reasons vary – genetic factors, metabolic disorders, high fevers, vitamin deficiencies, premature birth, or trauma to the primary teeth. Our specialists at DentalClinic24 always begin with a thorough examination to determine not only the severity of the defect, but also its root cause – because each type of hypoplasia demands its own protocol.
Diagnosis is a multi-step process. We assess enamel thickness, transparency, the presence of pits or grooves, and the sensitivity level. Professor von Breuer notes that hypoplasia often goes unnoticed until a patient faces constant discomfort or aesthetic concerns. That’s why we pay extra attention to details – including the bite, the condition of dentin, and the risk of future complications such as caries or crack formation.
Treatment depends on the extent of the defect. Mild hypoplasia can be corrected with remineralization – special fluoride and calcium preparations that strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity. When the defect is more visible, we use microabrasion, composite restorations, or veneers. In DentalClinic24, we always choose minimally invasive methods first – our priority is to preserve natural tissues while achieving an aesthetic, long-lasting result.
Severe cases demand a comprehensive approach. We may use ceramic restorations or full-coverage crowns when the enamel is significantly weakened. Importantly, we guide patients through the entire process – from diagnostics to aftercare – ensuring comfort, safety, and predictability. This is what defines our philosophy at DentalClinic24 – combining modern technologies with personalized attention to each clinical nuance.
Enamel hypoplasia is not a sentence. With timely treatment and a competent strategy, patients regain both function and confidence. And when therapy is guided by experts like Professor von Breuer and performed by our team at Dental Clinic24, the result is not just reconstruction – it is the restoration of quality of life.
