DENTIN DYSPLASIA WITH TAURODONTISM: A CASEREPORT OF MULTIPLE TEETH INVOLVEMENT

الملخص

Dentin dysplasia is a rare disturbance of dentin formation either in crown and root with normal enamel formation. It is divided in two types: type I (radicular) and type II (coronal). Type I by far is more common and both types include single or multiple teeth in primary and permanent teeth dentition. Combinations of both types also have been described in literature. Four distinct forms of Type I and one form of Type II were identified. Taurodontism is a rare dental anomaly affecting
primarily the molars and occasionally premolars and are usually found in association with other anomalies. In this article we are reporting a rare case of a 16 year old female patient who presented with dentin dysplasia (rootless teeth) with taurodontism involving multiple teeth, with crown of normal enamel and normal dimentions, associated with excessively mobile teeth which appeared radiographically as rootless teeth, atop the alveolar bone.
