Abstract

Dentin dysplasia Type I is a rare hereditary disturbance in dentin formation characterized by teeth with short blunted roots, complete pulpal obliteration, periapical abscesses or cysts without an obvious causative factor, and spontaneous exfoliation. This report describes the clinical, radiographic, histologic, ultrastructural, and genetic features of dentin dysplasia Type I in a 17-year-old boy and discusses the features which separate it from dentin dysplasia Type II and dentinogenesis imperfecta.
