dentinogenesis imperfecta

dentinogenesis imperfecta
dentinogenesis im·per·fec·ta -.im-pər-'fek-tə n a disorder of tooth development inherited as an autosomal dominant and characterized by relatively soft enamel in both the primary and permanent teeth that makes the teeth abnormally vulnerable to fracture, abrasion, and wear

* * *

an autosomal dominant disorder of tooth development characterized by opalescent dentin resulting in discoloration of the teeth, ranging from dusky blue to brownish. The dentin is poorly formed with an abnormally low mineral content; the pulp canal is obliterated, but the enamel is normal. The teeth usually wear down rapidly, leaving short, brown stumps. Called also odontogenesis imperfecta.
