상아질형성부전증을 가진 환자의 심미적인 수복치료

Dentinogenesis imperfecta is one of the most common autosomal dominant traits experienced in humans. It generally affects both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. There are 3 forms of dentinogenesis imperfecta that have been classified into type I(osteogenesis imperfecta associated), type II(hereditary opalescent dentin), and type III(Brandywine isolate opalescent dentin).1,2 The prevalence for all types of dentinogenesis imperfecta is approximately 1 per 8000 subjects. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore, fundamental, aiming at obtaining a favourable prognosis since late intervention makes treatment more complex. This clinical report describes a treatment solution to the problems encountered by a dentinogenesis imperfecta patient with minimally invasive techniques.
