This research study is investigating three common conditions that affect tooth enamel — a layer called amelogenesis imperfecta, dental fluorosis, and molar-incisor hypomineralization. Researchers will use specialized tools to measure tooth color and analyze tooth samples to understand how these defects develop and differ from healthy teeth.
Currently, doctors don't have enough detailed information about how these enamel defects form at the microscopic level or how they differ from one another. This research aims to fill that gap so that doctors can better diagnose and eventually treat these conditions.

You would have two visits over about 2 months. At your first visit, a dentist will take photographs and use a special color-measuring device on your teeth. At your second visit (during a regular dental appointment for treatment or tooth extraction), the dentist will collect a small sample of your tooth or enamel if a tooth needs to be removed or restored. Researchers will then analyze these samples in a laboratory to understand the structure and chemical makeup of your enamel.
