MOREIRA, Kelly Maria Silva et al. Oral rehabilitation of a child with dentinogenesis imperfecta: case report. RSBO (Online) []. 2015, 12, 3, pp. 311-315. ISSN 1984-5685.

Introduction and Objective: To report the clinic case of a 5-yearold boy with presenting yellow-gray teeth and generalized severe tooth crown wear. Case report: After clinical and radiographic examination, he was diagnosed with dentinogenesis imperfecta. After the behavior management, we performed the adequacy of oral environment and diet and oral hygiene instructions. Study models were obtained and then, the rehabilitation treatment was performed through acetate crowns and orthodontic bands. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are very important in preventing further damage to dental tissues, other oral diseases, and orthodontic changes. Therefore, knowledge of the etiology and family history of the patient is crucial.
