What condition is indicated by 'ghost teeth'?

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
Regional odontodysplasia
Ectodermal Dysplasia
Amelogenesis Imperfecta

The correct answer is: Regional odontodysplasia

'Ghost teeth' is a term used to describe regional odontodysplasia, which is a rare developmental anomaly affecting teeth. This condition is characterized by abnormal tooth development where the affected teeth appear translucent and have a ghost-like appearance on radiographs. Dentinogenesis Imperfecta is a hereditary condition affecting dentin formation, leading to discolored and weakened teeth. Ectodermal Dysplasia is a genetic disorder affecting multiple ectodermal structures including hair, skin, and teeth. Amelogenesis Imperfecta is a congenital disorder that affects enamel formation on teeth. Among the options provided, regional odontodysplasia is the most fitting description for the condition indicated by 'ghost teeth'.
