Sažetak
Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is the result of a dominant genetic defect and affects both the deciduous and permanent
dentitions. It is characterized by opalescent teeth composed of irregularly formed and undemineralized dentin
which obliterates pulp chamber and root canal. DI can appear as a separate disorder or with osteogenesis imperfecta
(OI). The teeth with DI show a grayish-blue to brown hue with dislodged enamel, dysplastic dentine with irregular
dentinal tubules and interglobular dentine, short roots and pulpal obliteration, which all may lead to rapid and extensive
attrition which require adequate crown reconstruction. The aim of this study was to show a reconstruction of frontal
teeth in upper jaw with direct composite veneers in young adult patient with DI.
