Unusual features associated with dentinogenesis imperfecta type II: report of two cases affecting the family over three generations
Öz
Dentinogenesis
imperfecta (DI) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. It has a high degree
of penetrance and a very low mutation rate. DI is characterized by opalescent dentin and discoloration of the teeth. The exposed dentin may undergo severe attrition. Early
diagnosis and management of this condition is essential for the prevention of
further complications and for the aesthetic purpose. We present clinical
and radiographic features of two cases of DI type II affecting the family over three generations. This report also highlights rare features such as
odontome, multiple impacted teeth and retained deciduous teeth along with
features of DI in a 16-years old male.
