Dentinogenesis Imperfecta is an inherited disorder, usually showing a dominant autosomal pattern. Clinically, the teeth have a peculiar translucent appearance with discoloration ranging from brown to yellow to gray. Such teeth are termed opalescent.
Radiographically, all teeth in the deciduous and permanent dentitions show early and frequently complete obliteration of the pulp chambers and canals with short, blunted roots (Figure 44).
