Abstract :
Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is the result of autosomal dominant genetic defect and affects both the deciduous as well as permanent dentition. It is characterized by: opalescent teeth composed of irregularly formed and under-mineralized dentin with obliteration of pulp chamber and root canal. The teeth with DI show a greyish-blue to brown hue, dislodged enamel, dysplastic dentine with irregular dentinal tubules and interglobular dentine, short roots and pulpal obliteration. All this might lead to rapid and extensive attrition which requires adequate crown reconstruction. The aim of this case report is to show reconstruction of frontal teeth in adult patients with DI thereby providing functional and esthetic dentition.
