Sažetak
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is the result of a dominant genetic defect and affects both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. It is caracterized by opalescent teeth composed of irregularly formed and undemineralized dentin which obliterates pulp chamber and root canal. Dentinogenesis imperfecta can appear as a separate disorder or with osteogenesis imperfecta. The teeth with dentinogenesis imperfecta show a grayish-blue to brown hue with dislodged enamel, dysplastic dentine with irregular dentinal tubules and interglobular dentine, short roots and pulpal obliteration, which all may lead to rapid and extensive atrition which require adequate crown reconstruction. The aim of this study was to show a reconstruction of frontal teeth in upper jow with direct composite veeners in young adult patient with dentinogenesis imperfecta.
