Abstract
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI) is a hereditary disorder affecting both the deciduous and permanent dentition. This disorder classically affects the dentin and it is characterized by the presence of opalescent dentin caused due to autosomal dominant pattern resulting in a dusky blue to brownish discoloration of the teeth. It is classified as DI-I and DI-II. This present article discusses two case reports of Dentinogenesis Imperfecta. First is a case of 29-year-old female patient who reported to the dental O.P for an aesthetic correction.
