title: Child abuse, osteogenesis imperfecta and the grey zone between them.
abstract: We report a child who was thought to suffer a non-accidental injury. The parents were unable to convince the child abuse team of their innocence. The eruption of lucent teeth established the diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta type IVB.
