[Regional odontodysplasia ("ghost teeth"). A case report].

: The authors present a rare case of developmental anomaly called regional odontodysplasia. It is also called odontogenic dysplasia, ghost teeth. It is a disorder that affects both the ectodermal and mesodermal dental components. The teeth usually fail to erupt and they have wide pulp chambers. Any teeth may be affected, but the disease is usually restricted to single quadrants. The cause is unknown.
