peliesineen

Peliesineen, also known as pedunculated dentine or pear-shaped dentine, is a type of dental enamel anomaly characterized by an irregular configuration of tooth enamel and dentin. This condition affects the morphology of the tooth, resulting in the formation of a distinct, pear-shaped or enlarged cusp.

Peliesineen is typically diagnosed during a routine dental examination, where X-rays may reveal abnormal enamel and dentin formations. The condition is often bilateral, affecting multiple teeth. Peliesineen is generally a congenital anomaly, meaning it is present at birth, although it can be acquired due to various factors, such as injury or developmental issues.

The causes and mechanisms leading to peliesineen are not fully understood. However, research suggests that it may be related to the combination of genetic and environmental factors influencing tooth development. Some studies propose that peliesineen could be a result of irregular enamel apposition, a process where the enamel layers are deposited unevenly, leading to the characteristic pear-shaped or irregular morphology.

Peliesineen is usually asymptomatic, however, it may lead to an increased risk of tooth decay and sensitivity due to the irregular structure of the tooth. In severe cases, teeth affected by peliesineen may be more susceptible to chipping or cracking. While there is no cure for peliesineen, it is often managed through routine dental care and monitoring. In some cases, additional treatment, such as dental fillings or crowns, may be necessary to address issues related to tooth decay or sensitivity.
