Abstract:
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a dentin development disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It is rarely seen in clinical with a low incidence rate. We reported a case of dentinogenesis imperfecta referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Hospital of Stomatology, Lanzhou University. Investigation of the four-generation pedigree of the proband and review of relevant literature indicated that dentinogenesis imperfecta equally affects both genders and involves deciduous and permanent teeth with a high familial prevalence. By analyzing the clinical manifestations of dentinogenesis imperfecta and exploring early management strategies, this case study aims to enhance dentists' understan-ding and management of this condition to improve patients' quality of life.
