Hereditary pattern for dentinal dysplasia type Id: a case report.
Generalized pulpal calcifications arouse suspicion of diseases or conditions of systemic or hereditary origin. This case report describes a 45-year-old patient with generalized pulpal calcifications and bulging of the roots in areas corresponding to the pulp chambers in otherwise normal teeth. Similar findings were present in the patient's daughters and brother. This pattern of pulpal calcifications is consistent with the hereditary condition of dentinal dysplasia type Id.
