|
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an inheritable disease of dentinal defect, generally is inherited as a single autosomal dominant trait. It has a prevalence of 1 in 8000 with the trait, and no significant difference between male and female, with involvement of the primary and permanent teeth. Shields proposed three types of Dentinogenesis imperfecta.
Affected teeth have various discoloration, seperation of enamel, repid destruction of underlying dentin, and severe attrition. Radiographically, the teeth have cervical constriction, bulbous crown, thin root, obliteration of the root canals and pulp chambers, and periapical lesions in a sound tooth. The objective of treatment is rehabilitation of the esthetics, the masticatory function, and the vertical dimension of occlusion.
In these cases, two pediatric patients reported to the Kyungpook University Pediatric clinic, with a chief complaint of discolored teeth and severe attrition. As a result of clinical and radiographic exam, it was diagnosed as Dentinogenesis imperfecta. The posterior teeth were restored with Stainless Steel Crown, and the anterior teeth were restored with composite resin veneering.
