The affected teeth are clinically hypoplastic and hypocalcified, presenting a ghost-like appearance radiographically. The aim of this work was to report a clinical case of a child with both primary and permanent dentition affected by RO. The conducted therapy was based on a conservative approach, which consisted of follow-up clinical evaluations of the anomalous teeth. However, the endodontic treatment of the primary incisors failed. Then, the chosen option for patient rehabilitation became extraction followed by removable of prosthesis confection. The extracted teeth were processed for histological analysis. In spite of the uncertain prognosis, but taking into account the psychological aspects of the patient, a conservative approach in an attempt to maintain those viable teeth in the oral cavity should be established.175-178engGhost teethOdontodysplasiaPermanent dentitionPrimary dentitioncanine toothcase reportcongenital malformationdeciduous toothdentindifferential diagnosisenamelfollow uphumanincisorinfantmaletooth malformationtooth pulpCuspidDental EnamelDental Pulp CavityDentinDiagnosis, DifferentialFollow-Up StudiesHumansIncisorInfantMaleTooth, DeciduousArtigo10.4103/0970-4388.57099Acesso aberto2-s2.0-703503274122-s2.0-70350327412.pdf0000-0003-2386-842X
