Objective: Hereditary dentin defects can be grouped into three types of dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) and two types of dentin dysplasia. Tooth enamel is considered normal in patients with hereditary dentin defects, but is easily worn down and fractured due to DSPP mutation-induced altered dentin properties. The purposes of this study were to identify genetic cause of a family with type II DGI and enamel defects.
Materials And Methods: We identified a family with type II DGI and a unique form of hypoplastic enamel defect affecting occlusal third of the crown. Family members were recruited for the genetic analysis and DNA was obtained from peripheral whole blood.
Results: Mutational analysis revealed a T to A transversion in exon 3 of the DSPP (c.53T>A, p.V18D). Haplotype analysis showed that the same mutation arose separately in two different families having DGI with similar enamel defects, indicating that this phenotype is associated with this specific DSPP mutation. Clinical features suggest that enamel formation was affected in the affected individuals during early amelogenesis, in addition to the dentin defect.
Conclusions: We observed that a DSPP gene mutation not only influences dentinogenesis but also affects early stage amelogenesis.

The emergence and rapid spread of antibiotic resistance pose a major threat to global health, attributing to misuse and overuse of antibiotics resulting in antibiotics-resistant bacteria through natural mutation or transfer of resistance genes. A cross-sectional study was carried out, in which a total of 36 samples were systematically collected; of these, 26 were derived from the wastewater efflux and 10 from the receiving waters at several critical junctures along the Sutlej River. Herein, this study elucidated elevated levels of antibiotic resistance among bacterial isolates sourced from urban wastewater.

These three disorders may have similar molecular mechanisms involved in bridging the DSPP mutations and the resulting abnormal dentine mineralisation. The DSPP encoding proteins DSP (dentine sialoprotein) and DPP (dentine phosphoprotein) are positive regulators of dentine formation and perform a function during dentinogenesis.

Aim: Loss-of-function mutations in FAM20A result in amelogenesis imperfecta IG (AI1G) or enamel-renal syndrome, characterized by hypoplastic enamel, ectopic calcification, and gingival hyperplasia, with some cases reporting spontaneous tooth infection. Despite previous reports on the consequence of FAM20A reduction in gingival fibroblasts and transcriptome analyses of AI1G pulp tissues, suggesting its involvement in mineralization and infection, its role in deciduous dental pulp cells (DDP) remains unreported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of DDP obtained from an AI1G patient, providing additional insights into the effects of FAM20A on the mineralization of DDP.
