The etiology of defects in the formation of permanent tooth enamel remained unclear for a long time. Most authors attributed them to rickets, tetany and syphilis. Kassowitz, on the basis of his research on a large material (2753 cases), concludes that the main cause of these defects is the general growth disorder of the body during the development of the teeth.
