Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type II: A Case Report with Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a dentin disorder caused by gene mutation and autosomal dominant inheritance that affects both deciduous and permanent dentitions. Clinical features include the discoloration of the crown, color ranges from amber, yellow-brown or even grayish blue. Radiographic features include bulbous crowns with constriction at the cementoenamel junction, pulp chamber and root canal obliteration, short and narrow root. The enamel is normal but often detaches from the defective dentin, resulting in dentin exposure. This increases the likelihood of tooth wear and fracture, as well as the possibility of pulp exposure, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. The aim of this report was to present a 19-year-old male patient with clinical and radiological features of dentinogenesis imperfecta type II. Additionally, we reviewed the data on dentinogenesis imperfecta type II, focusing on differential diagnosis and treatment planning to emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for these patients.
