Dentin dysplasia type I: five cases within one family.
Five cases of dentin dysplasia type I within one family are described. Clinically and radiologically, such patients are characterized by a delayed eruption pattern, opacity of the incisional margins, hypermobility of the teeth, short and defective roots, and obliterated pulp chambers. A conservative attitude toward the treatment of common conditions in dentin dysplasia type I favors the preservation of a vulnerable dentition.
