−This condition is a consequence of abnormalities occuring during the period of tooth eruption. It invloves damage to [[Enamel Organ#Ameloblasts|ameloblasts]] (which form [[Enamel Organ#Enamel|enamel]]) in utero, which upsets permanent incisor formation. The condition [[Enamel Organ#Enamel|Enamel]] is marked by pits and lines etc.
