Abstract

Study of enamel and dentin in primary teeth with dentinogenesis imperfecta type I: A case report

Highlights

  • Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a rare genetic disease affecting the development of dentin, and it is clinically characterized by tooth discoloration and early enamel loss

  • DI-type I may be seen in conjunction with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), which is a disease characterized by fragile bones resulting from genetic mutations that impair collagen synthesis [2,7]

  • After Raman analysis, each specimen was coated with gold and the microstructure of enamel and dentin was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (S-3500, Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) (Figure 4)
