Amelogenesis Imperfecta (Italian Greyhound Type)
Description

Amelogenesis Imperfecta Italian Greyhound type is a congenital teeth disorder also known as enamel hypoplasia in Italian Greyhounds.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta in Italian Greyhound is affecting deciduous and permanent teeth and is manifested by enamel thinning and roughening or brownish mottling in areas of enamel thinning.

It starts to develop in early adulthood of the dog.

Teeth that are affected appear to be small and pointed with increased gaps.

While amelogenesis imperfecta causes cavity in humans, this condition does not occur in dogs, due to maintained basic tooth structure throughout life.
