A bstract — A case of regional odontodysplasia is reported. An unusual feature, only twice previously described in the world literature of fifty‐four cases, was the presence of an apparently normal tooth within the group of affected teeth. The implications of such a finding for the various theories relating to aetiology and pathogenesis are discussed.
