==Abnormalities of the crown==

Abnormalities of the [[Enamel Organ#Crown|crown]] may occur during development resulting in '''microdontia''' (smaller crown), '''macrodontia''' (larger crown), '''peg teeth (conical shaped teeth) as well as '''geminated crowns''' (double crown) or '''fused teeth''' (two separate tooth buds fused at the crown by [[Enamel Organ#Enamel|enamel]] and sometimes [[Enamel Organ#Dentin|dentine]]).<br>

This is clinically important from a periodontal health aspect to avoid plaque stagnation areas between overcrowded teeth. It is also important when planning extraction of an abnormal tooth to take [[Intra-Oral Radiography|radiographs]] as abnormal [[Enamel Organ#Root|root]] formation is not uncommon with these teeth.
