Developmental anomalies of tooth structure can be easy to miss and can change a treatment plan completely. This course helps dental teams recognise the common and less common anomalies of enamel, dentine and tooth form, and understand what they mean for diagnosis and care.
Using clinical photographs and radiographs, you will build a clear, practical approach to identifying anomalies, explaining them to patients and choosing appropriate management or referral.
