- Damage to ameloblasts (which form enamel) in utero upsets permanent incisor formation.
- Enamel is marked by pits, lines etc.
In ruminants:
- Damage to enamel formation most often caused by fluoride poisoning.
- Seen in cattle grazing on pasture contaminated by cement works effluent.
- Chalky mottling and yellow brown pitting of tooth.
In canines:
Very severe systemic disease early in life / or in utero may result in severe discoloration or pitting of teeth due to effect on enamel formation. (e.g. distemper in dog)
