Article Abstract
Dentinogenesis imperfecta type 2, also referred to as Capdepont teeth and hereditary opalescent dentin, is a rare hereditary dysplasia affecting the dentin that occurs during the histodifferentiation stage of tooth development. The resulting brownish gray opalescent hue creates an unesthetic appearance. This form of dentin anomaly occurs in approximately 1 in 8000 individuals in the United States. Teeth affected by hereditary dentin dysplasia chip easily, even under normal masticatory forces; however, as a result of underlying sclerotic dentin formation and obliteration of pulp chambers in response to attrition, these teeth are not hypersensitive. This case report describes this rare anomaly in a 27-year-old woman, whose discolored teeth were restored with ceramic laminate veneers.

Introduction: Childhood early oral ageing syndrome (CEOAS) is a condition involving oral abnormalities resulting from systemic diseases of different origins that are related to the current lifestyle of the paediatric population. Enamel defects associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors promote the early loss of tooth structure at an accelerated pace, with negative impacts on function, aesthetics and quality of life. The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of early tooth wear in childhood and its severity using the CEOAS index, which is a tool for the diagnosis of the condition and for epidemiological surveys, involving the investigation of abnormalities of the oral cavity in the paediatric population and possible factors associated with the severity of the condition.

Hereditary dentine disorders are autosomal dominant diseases that affect the development and structure of dentine, leading to various dental abnormalities and influencing the individual's oral health. It is generally classified as dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) and dentine dysplasia (DD). Specifically, DGI is characterized by the abnormal formation of dentine, resulting in teeth that are discolored, translucent, and prone to fracture or wear down easily.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, a common genetic connective tissue disorder affecting bone with multisystemic implications, is caused by genomic alterations at various levels that disrupt the biosynthesis stages of collagen Type I. This study evaluated the intraoral and clinical findings of 43 OI cases in relation to genetic variants, aiming to contribute new insights into the roles of collagen and non-collagen genes in the oral-dental pathology of OI. Significant associations were found between OI variants and dental anomalies such as dentinogenesis imperfecta, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, and hypodontia.

Article Synopsis
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic connective tissue disorder leading to fragile bones, with a global occurrence of 1 in 10,000; diagnosis relies on clinical and radiological assessments.
- A study examined 91 pediatric OI patients at a national institute, revealing that most had fractures and specific physical traits like blue sclera and bowed legs; treatment typically involved bisphosphonates.
- The findings suggest the need for better OI fracture risk classification using severity scales, highlighting the importance of raising awareness and enhancing research on this rare condition.*
