*Damage to [[Ameloblasts - Anatomy & Physiology|ameloblasts]] (which form [[Enamel - Anatomy & Physiology|enamel]]) in utero upsets permanent incisor formation.
*[[Enamel - Anatomy & Physiology|Enamel]] is marked by pits, lines etc.
====In ruminants:====
*Damage to [[Enamel - Anatomy & Physiology|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 [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|tooth]].
====In canines:====

Very severe systemic disease early in life / or in utero may result in severe discoloration or pitting of [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] due to effect on [[Enamel - Anatomy & Physiology|enamel]] formation. (e.g. [[Canine Distemper Virus|distemper in dog]])
