A patient has dentinogenesis imperfecta. What could be seen clinically/radiographically?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Blue, translucent enamel/teeth
Dentinogenesis imperfecta classically produces teeth with an opalescent, blue-grey to brown translucent appearance, bulbous crowns, and (radiographically) obliterated pulp chambers/canals with thin, constricted roots. Pitted enamel is more characteristic of certain amelogenesis imperfecta subtypes, and white spot lesions are typically associated with early caries or fluorosis, not DI.
