title: Dentinogenesis imperfecta: a case report.
abstract: Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a localized form of mesodermal dysplasia of the dentin affecting both the primary and permanent dentitions. Most previous reports on dentinogenesis imperfecta describe treatment with overdentures, which have several disadvantages. The present report describes a case of dentinogenesis imperfecta in an 11-year-old girl. A combination of restorative, prosthetic, and surgical treatment was used to resolve the condition.
