Abstract

Regional odontodysplasia is a rare developmental dental anomaly affecting both primary and permanent dentition in any of the jaws with uncertain etiology. Clinically, affected tooth are impacted and if erupted are hypoplastic or hypocalcified. Radiographically, the affected teeth show a typical ghost-like appearance. In this article, two such case reports are presented by the authors associated with supernumerary teeth in the same region.
