Hypoplasia of enamel is visible as grooves or depressions on the surface due to reduction in its layers. Linear Enamel Hypoplasia is a specifi c type of environmental hypoplasia and differs from genetic forms of hypoplasia in the following ways- the lesions are usually symmetrical and ring like defects involving several teeth.
