Osteogenesis imperfecta is a syndrome of interest to dentists because dentinogenesis imperfecta is frequently associated with not only bone disease but also tooth diseas~. Specifically, these patients usually have many dental problems such as 1) high incidence of tooth fracture, enamel chipping and cracking, 2) high caries activity, 3) inability or difficulty of endodontic treatment, 4) mastica...

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary disorder displaying group of conditions which cause developmental alterations in the structure enamel. The adverse effects it has on oral health and quality life individual warrants identification contributing factors for excessive wear loss vertical dimension. Extensive restorative treatment imperative correction such severely worn out dentition. Rehabil...

BACKGROUND Amelogenesis imperfecta represents a group of developmental conditions, clinically and genetically heterogeneous, that affect the structure and clinical appearance of enamel. Amelogenesis imperfecta occurred as an isolated trait or as part of a genetic syndrome. Recently, disease-causing mutations in the FAM20A gene were identified, in families with an autosomal recessive syndrome as...

An interdisciplinary approach can be used to treat the uncommon hereditary defect known as amelogenesis imperfecta, which ischaracterised by insufficient crown length, hypersensitivity, dental caries, and decreased vertical dimension. The present case reportdescribes a successfully managed of imperfecta with full mouth rehabilitation using implant supported prosthesis. This helped restore funct...

osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) as an inherited connective tissue disorder can affect all tissues that contains type i collagen. well-known cardiac complications of this disease such as aortic root dilatation, aortic regurgitation and mitral valve prolapse have been rarely reported in the literature. coronary artery aneurysm is a rare cardiac complication in oi, as reported in a 19 year old female...

Tooth agenesis in the reduction of tooth number which includes hypodontia, oligodontia and anodontia is caused by disturbances and gene mutations that occur during odontogenesis. To date, several genetic mutations that unlock the causes of non-syndromic tooth agenesis are being discovered; these have been associated with certain illnesses because tooth development involves the interaction of se...

BACKGROUND Upper limb deformity in children with osteogenesis imperfecta may substantially impair function. The aims of this retrospective work were to study the prevalence of radial head malalignment (dislocation or subluxation) in different types of osteogenesis imperfecta and to identify factors linked to it. METHODS We assessed 489 upper limbs from 254 patients (with a mean age of 9.6 yea...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder of connective tissue, existing in a severe form (congenita) and a milder form (tarda) both being inherited as an autosomal dominant (McKusick, 1966). Recently Aeschlimann, Grunt, and Crigler (1966) and Bilginturan and Ozsoylu (1966) reported three infants with osteogenesis imperfecta congenita who improved, as regards survival and frequency of spontaneous f...
