dentinogenesis /den·ti·no·gen·e·sis/ (-jen´ĕ-sis) the formation of dentin.
dentinogenesis imperfecta,
dentinogenesis [den″tĭ-no-jen´ĕ-sis]
dentinogenesis imperfecta
dentinogenesis imperfec´ta a hereditary condition marked by imperfect formation and calcification of dentin, giving the teeth a brown or blue opalescent appearance.
dentinogenesis im·per·fec·ta ( m p r-f k t)n. A hereditary defect of dentin formation characterized by a translucent or opalescent color of the teeth, easy fracturing of the enamel, wearing of occlusal surfaces, and staining of exposed dentin. Also called dentinal dysplasia, hereditary opalescent dentin. |
dentinogenesis imperfecta,
1 a genetic disturbance of the dentin, characterized by early calcification of the pulp chambers, marked attrition, and an opalescent hue of the teeth.
2 a localized form of mesodermal dysplasia affecting the dentin of the teeth. It may be hereditary and associated with osteogenesis imperfecta.
3 a genetic condition that produces defective dentin but normal tooth enamel. Also called hereditary opalescent dentin.
dentinogenesis [den″tĭ-no-jen´ĕ-sis]
the formation of dentin.
dentinogenesis imperfec´ta a hereditary disorder of tooth development, transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, and characterized by discoloration of the teeth, ranging from dusky blue to brownish, poorly formed dentin with an abnormally low mineral content, obliteration of the root canal, and normal enamel. The teeth usually wear down rapidly, leaving short, brown stumps.

(den´tinōjen´

n (hereditary opalescent dentin) 1. a disturbance of the dentin of genetic origin; characterized by early calcification of the pulp chambers and root canals, marked attrition, and an opalescent hue to the teeth.
n 2. a localized form of mesodermal dysplasia affecting the dentin of the tooth. It may be hereditary and may be associated with osteogenesis imperfecta.
n 3. a hereditary condition associated with a defect in dentin formation; the enamel remains normal.
