What type of dentin dysplasia resembles dentinogenesis imperfecta?

Dentin dysplasia type I
Dentin dysplasia type II
Dentin dysplasia IV
Hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta dentin dysplasia type III

Explanation

Answer: B - Dentin dysplasia type II resembles dentinogenesis imperfecta. Both conditions have normal root length but the crown is blue-brown, translucent, has cervical constriction, and is bulbous in dentin dysplasia type II. Radiographically, primary teeth display pulp chambers that are destroyed, while permanent teeth display pulp stones. Due to increased tooth mobility, the patient is predisposed to periodontitis and tooth loss.
