Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by abnormal enamel formation. This article outlines the treatment aspect for rehabilitation of occlusion using telescopic overdenture for a patient having amelogensis imperfecta.

osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder with an expression that varies from mild to severe disease affecting bone, sclera and middle ear. fertility is preserved, especially in those patients with type 1. we present hereby a pregnant woman with osteogenesis imperfecta that had over 30 fractures in long bones and vertebrae. the object of this report was to determine...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an incurable genetic disorder manifested with altered bone quality that predisposes patients to a multitude of fractures throughout their lives, including acetabular fractures. The management of acetabular fractures in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta remains a challenging clinical problem, with a paucity of literature supporting treatments and their outcomes. Li...

Many morphological and developmental studies have demonstrated the characteristics of tight junctions (TJs) between odontoblasts. However, detailed localization of TJ-associated proteins in odontoblasts and their functions has not yet been clarified. To elucidate the relationship between the establishment of TJ structures and the differentiation of odontoblasts during early dentinogenesis, we s...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by qualitative or quantitative defects in type I collagen. Although often considered a disease with primarily pediatric manifestations, more than 25% of lifetime fractures are reported to occur in adulthood. General care of adults with osteogenesis imperfecta involves measures to preserve bone density, regular monitoring of hearing and dentition, and maintenanc...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that affect the integrity of the connective tissue. Manifestations of the disease include bone fragility, osteoporosis, dentigenesis imperfecta, blue sclera, easy bruising, joint deformity and scoliosis. On the other hand, colonic diverticular disease is the most common acquired disease of the large bowel in the western popul...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to fractures and vascular injuries due to connective tissue fragility. In this case report, we present a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta type I who sustained a transverse fracture of the right acetabulum while transferring from bed to chair. The fracture was repaired through an ilioinguinal approach. Du...

BACKGROUND The first case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V in the Polish literature is reported. CASE REPORT Skeletal survey of an 8 year old girl with a history of multiple fractures and bilateral dislocation of radial heads was received for consultation. CONCLUSIONS Generalised osteoporosis with multiple fractures, periosteal thickening and bilateral dislocation of the radial heads are c...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable disorder that causes bone fragility. Mutations in type I collagen result in autosomal dominant osteogenesis imperfecta, whereas mutations in either of two components of the collagen prolyl 3-hydroxylation complex (cartilage-associated protein [CRTAP] and prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1 [P3H1]) cause autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta with rhizomelia (short...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary connective tissue disorder characterized primarily by fractures with no or small causal antecedent; in most patients this is a consequence of diminished or abnormal production of collagen type I. It is a clinically heterogeneous disorder: it has been proposed recently to classify osteogenesis imperfecta in types I-V on the basis of the clinical picture an...
