Hypoplasia of enamel can be defined as disruption in its matrix formation leading to defective quality and thickness of enamel. Turners hypoplasiamostly affects single tooth in the mouth, in contrast to other forms of hypoplasia which influence more than one tooth. The management of hypoplasia depends on its severity and aims to replace the damaged  outer enamel layer and cover all the dentin.  If the hypoplasia (defect) is smaller, a filling may be sufficient while for more extensive hypoplasia, a crown is required. The present case describes management of a case of turner’s hypoplasia affected maxillary lateral incisor.

Key words: Enamel hypoplasia, infection, trauma, Turner's hypoplasia.
