Turner’s tooth is a form of enamel hypoplasia. Periapical pathology of the primary tooth is the main culprit behind the enamel deficiency in the permanent tooth. The altered tooth is called a Turner’s tooth. Color of the affected tooth varies from focal areas of white, yellow, or brown discoloration to extensive hypoplasia which can involve the entire crown. The crown of the permanent teeth develops mainly from six months and extends upto fifteen years. The part of the crown which gets damaged is directly related to the location of the ameloblastic activity at the time of damage. Therefore, we are here discussing the case of a seven year old boy which was reported to be the case of turner’s tooth hypoplasia.
