Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects the development of teeth. It is characterized by discolored teeth, which can appear blue, gray, or brown, and may be more prone to wear and breakage. This condition results from mutations in genes responsible for the formation of dentin, the hard tissue beneath the enamel.
Individuals with Dentinogenesis Imperfecta often experience dental issues from an early age, including sensitivity and increased risk of cavities. Treatment may involve dental crowns or other restorative procedures to protect the teeth and improve appearance. Regular dental care is essential for managing this condition.
