Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant disorder of tooth development characterized by the presence of opalescent dentin. This condition is genetically and clinically heterogenous. It may affect only teeth or may be associated with osteogenesis imperfecta. The genetics, etiology , features and various treatment options of the disorder have been reviewed. Beginning in infancy, treatment usually continues into adulthood with a number of options. Where diagnosis occurs early in life and treatment follows the outlined recommendations, good aesthetics and function can be obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
