Amelogenesis imperfecta hypoplastic-hypomaturation with taurodontism

Definition:

Amelogenesis imperfecta hypoplastic-hypomaturation with taurodontism (AIHHT) is a condition characterized by enamel defects and enlarged pulp chambers. Unlike its allelic disorder trichodentoosseous dysplasia, AIHHT patients do not show hair and bone abnormalities. AIHHT is an autosomal dominant trait.
