A scanning electron microscopic study of dentin dysplasia type II in primary dentition. 1984

J R Jasmin, and S Clergeau-Guerithault

Dentin dysplasia type II is a rare autosomal dominant defect which affects dentin formation in both the deciduous and the permanent dentitions. The scanning electron microscopic study performed on a primary central incisor presents some findings similar to those reported in dentinogenesis imperfecta. Because of the lack of published reports on dentin dysplasia type II, it is difficult to ascertain definitive characteristics of this dentin abnormality.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008855	Microscopy, Electron, Scanning	Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D003804	Dentin	The hard portion of the tooth surrounding the pulp, covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root, which is harder and denser than bone but softer than enamel, and is thus readily abraded when left unprotected. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992)	Dentine,Dentines,Dentins
D003805	Dentin Dysplasia	An apparently hereditary disorder of dentin formation, marked by a normal appearance of coronal dentin associated with pulpal obliteration, faulty root formation, and a tendency for peripheral lesions without obvious cause.

D003811	Dentinogenesis Imperfecta	An autosomal dominant disorder of tooth development characterized by opalescent dentin resulting in discoloration of the teeth. The dentin develops poorly with low mineral content while the pulp canal is obliterated.
