Correct answer: D. Change in form and shape of the teeth
- A. Change in number of teeth
- B. Ameloblastoma
- C. Hypoplasia
- D. Change in form and shape of the teeth
Explanation
Morphodifferentiation determines the final shape and form of the tooth, so disturbance at this stage produces abnormally shaped teeth. Tooth number is mainly determined during initiation, while hypoplasia reflects defective apposition or mineralisation.
