Detail Description

DSPP Gene Dentinogenesis Imperfecta - Shields Type 3 NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost INR:20000 Symptoms Diagnosis

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the teeth. It is caused by mutations in the DSPP gene that is responsible for producing dentin, which is the hard, mineralized substance that forms the bulk of our teeth. Shields Type 3 DI is the most severe form of the disorder, characterized by discolored, weak, and malformed teeth that are prone to breaking and decay.

Symptoms of Shields Type 3 DI

The symptoms of Shields Type 3 DI usually appear in childhood and may include:

• Discolored teeth that appear translucent or grayish-brown
• Teeth that are small, misshapen, or have pits or grooves
• Fragile teeth that are prone to breaking or chipping
• Tooth sensitivity or pain
• Delayed or abnormal tooth eruption

Diagnosis of Shields Type 3 DI

If you or your child are exhibiting symptoms of Shields Type 3 DI, it is important to see a dentist or genetic counselor for a diagnosis. The diagnosis of DI is usually based on a combination of clinical and radiographic findings, as well as genetic testing to confirm the presence of DSPP gene mutations.
