High-Yield Explanation
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant condition affecting both deciduous and permanent teeth. Affected teeth are gray to yellowish-brown and have broad crowns with constriction of the cervical area resulting in a ‘tulip’ shape. Radiographically, the teeth appear solid, lacking pulp chambers and root canals. Enamel is easily broken leading to exposure of dentin that undergoes accelerated attrition.
