What type of dentin dysplasia is associated with obliterated pulps and short roots?

  1. Type 1

  2. Type 2

  3. Type 3

  4. Type 4

The correct answer is: Type 1

Dentin dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the formation of dentin, leading to abnormal tooth development. There are two types of dentin dysplasia: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 dentin dysplasia is associated with the presence of primary and permanent teeth that have a normal appearance but with obliterated pulps and short roots. This characteristic of obliterated pulps and short roots is a key feature of Type 1 dentin dysplasia. On the other hand, Type 2 dentin dysplasia is characterized by primary teeth with amber discoloration and pulpal obliteration. It affects both primary and permanent dentition. Therefore, the correct answer is Type 1 because it specifically mentions the association with obliterated pulps and short roots.
