title: Management of dentinogenesis imperfecta: a review of two case reports.
abstract: Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an inherited disorder that affects dentin and often manifests as tooth discoloration; in addition, the dentition is also extremely susceptible to wear. Treatment of DI focuses primarily on protecting affected dentin, reducing sensitivity, and improving esthetics. Routine restorative materials, such as amalgams and composites, may be used. In more severe cases, the treatment of choice is full coverage crowns, while bonding of veneers may be used to improve the esthetics of the anterior teeth. This study presents two cases of Type II DI in the same family and the management of each case. Restorative management included amalgams, composite veneers, crowns, bridges, and overdentures.
