ABSTRACT
Dentinogenesis imperfecta type 2 (DI-2), also known as hereditary opalescent dentin, is a rare, genetically linked condition that affects both primary and permanent teeth. Severe attrition requiring full-mouth rehabilitation is a common finding associated with DI-2. Dental rehabilitation options include a variety of invasive and noninvasive restorative techniques dictated by the age of the patient. Growth and development must be considered and may result in a restorative challenge for the dental practitioner, particularly when the patient in question is a child. This case report describes the fabrication of an overdenture to reestablish function, esthetics, and self-esteem in a 12-year-old patient. A 2-stage restorative treatment was followed by a satisfactory 6-month recall examination, indicating that the prostheses provided a successful outcome until more definitive restorative treatment can be accomplished in adulthood.
