- Abstract
Dentin dysplasia type Ⅱ (DD-Ⅱ) is a subtype of hereditary dentin disorders. The dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene has been revealed to be the causative gene, whose mutations could affect the normal tooth development process. The lesions involve both deciduous and permanent dentition, mainly manifested as tooth discoloration, attrition and even the subsequent malocclusion. If not treated in time, it will significantly affect the physical and psychological health of patients. The disease is difficult to be diagnosed in clinic accurately as its low incidence and hidden manifestations. The present article aims to discuss the clinical and radiographic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment of DD-Ⅱ, in order to improve the overall understanding on DD-Ⅱ for clinicians.
