Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
- Dentin Dysplasia
Inherited defects of dentin that cause short or malformed roots, abnormal pulp chambers and early tooth loss, with type II caused by DSPP variants on the same spectrum as dentinogenesis imperfecta.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing can support early dental monitoring and planning to protect affected teeth.
