Dentinogenesis imperfecta: a case report of comprehensive treatment for a teenager
General Dentistry
|July 2, 2014
Abstract:
Improving a smile can change a person's self-image. This case report describes treatment for an adolescent boy with dentinogenesis imperfecta. Soon to begin high school, the 14-year-old patient was severely obese and disliked his stained teeth. A combination of surgical periodontal treatment, endodontic treatment, and veneers improved both his smile and self-perception-which may have played a role in achieving his weight loss goal of 125 lb at 12 months post-treatment.
