This 7 month old terrier presented with generalized enamel hypocalcification and hypoplasia. Both the quantity and the quality of the enamel were compromised. Dentin exposure was significant for all teeth. Scaling removed a good portion of the diseased enamel. The remainder was carefully removed with an aluminum oxide bur being careful not to extend past dentin. Dentinal bonding was performed and will need to be repeated periodically to maintain closure of the dentinal tubules to prevent sensitivity and microbe invasion into the pulp.
