Case report: Clinical, histological and ultrastructural characterization of type II dentinogenesis imperfecta.
[dentinogenesis imperfecta]
Type
II
dentinogenesis
imperfecta
(
DGIII
)
is
an
autosomal
dominant
dental
development
anomaly
that
affects
both
the
primary
and
permanent
dentition
.
This
case
report
describes
the
clinical
,
radiographic
and
morphological
characteristics
of
the
teeth
of
a
seven
-
year
-old
child
with
DGI
-
II
determined
by
optical
microscopy
and
scanning
electron
microscopy
.
T
his
consisted
of
extraction
of
the
primary
teeth
with
periapical
lesions
due
to
the
advanced
state
of
tooth
resorption
.
Aesthetic
restorations
were
performed
on
the
mandibular
anterior
teeth
and
occlusal
fissure
sealants
were
applied
to
erupting
teeth
.
A
removable
partial
upper
denture
was
made
in
order
to
return
anterior
aesthetic
function
and
to
aid
mastication
and
speech
.
The
child
was
examined
at
3
month
intervals
.
Over
the
following
3
years
the
prosthesis
was
replaced
due
to
facial
growth
and
fluoride
was
applied
at
each
follow-up
visit
to
all
teeth
.
The
patient
remains
in
follow
up
and
management
.
Individuals
with
DGI
-
II
must
not
neglect
their
dental
health
.
Early
diagnosis
,
professional
advice
and
treatment
with
periodic
follow-up
can
help
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
such
patients
.
