Question 289 · LDEK · Developmental disorders of teeth

„State in which teeth have bell-shaped crowns with weakly marked neck cervix, amber color and tooth wear. Roots are short, thin and narrow, the pulp chamber and root canals are obliterated. The symptoms are more visible in milk than in permanent dentition”. This is a description of:

  1. A. amelogenesis imperfecta.
  2. B. dentinal dysplasia.
  3. C. regional odontodysplasia.
  4. D. dentinogenesis imperfecta.
  5. E. total hypoplasia.
Hint

Amber, opalescent bell-shaped crowns with rapid wear and obliterated pulp spaces point to a hereditary defect of dentine that also affects the crowns.
