Reviving a Smile: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Dentin Dysplasia.

Dentin dysplasia Type 1 (DD1) is an uncommon inherited condition marked by structural irregularities in dentin, leading to notable dental abnormalities. Clinically, patients typically present with generalized slight yellowish discoloration and tooth mobility, while radiographic examination often reveals a reduced pulp chamber with the absence of pulp stones, a hallmark feature of DD1. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including extraction of affected teeth, direct sinus lift procedure bilaterally, implant placement, and subsequent fixed prosthesis placement.
