Quick Summary:

  • Dentin Dysplasia is a rare, genetic disorder of the teeth that is characterized by:
    • Abnormal development of dentin (bone-like material situated under the enamel, which forms most part of the tooth and contains the pulp of the tooth)
    • Abnormal development of pulp tissues (The pulp is a soft tissue made up of blood vessels and nerves)
    • Enamel is normal: The layer over the teeth, called enamel, is usually not affected
    • Normal appearing crowns: Visually, the crowns of the teeth appear normal
    • Hypermobility of teeth
    • Dental abscesses and cysts
    • Underdevelopment of jaws
  • The various types of Dentin Dysplasia include:
    • Type 1 or radicular type Dentin Dysplasia
    • Type II or coronal type Dentin Dysplasia
  • Dentin Dysplasia Type I is also called as Radicular Dentin Dysplasia. In this condition:
    • The roots of the teeth are shorter than the normal length
    • Pulp chamber is absent or the pulp chamber is crescent-shaped in appearance
    • There is an early loss of teeth
    • However, the color of the teeth is normal
  • Dentin Dysplasia Type I is an inherited genetic disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. It is caused by the alteration or changes that occur in the DSPP gene, which is involved in dentinogenesis
  • The treatment of Dentin Dysplasia Type I includes dental implants and surgery in severe cases. The prognosis depends on early diagnosis and quality of the treatment and management methods. With proper treatment and care, aesthetic appearance and functional performance can be achieved
