How Does Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Affect Dentin Formation?
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects dentin formation, leading to discolored, weak, and brittle teeth. The condition results from mutations in the genes encoding collagen or other proteins involved in dentinogenesis. Affected individuals often have dentin with an abnormal structure and composition, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures and wear.
