Hereditary opalescent dentin · Dentin-Strukturstörung · DSPP-Defekt
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary dental disorder where the dentin, which is the sensitive inner structure of the teeth, fails to develop properly. This makes the teeth structurally weak and highly prone to wear and breakage. While it can occur on its own, it is often a secondary symptom of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (a genetic bone disorder), which is what current genetic panels actually screen for.
Owners will typically notice symptoms in puppyhood, starting with a distinct yellowish-brown or bluish-gray discoloration of the teeth. These weakened teeth wear down rapidly, fracture easily, and can lead to painful infections of the tooth nerve.
While the underlying condition cannot be cured, it is manageable through lifelong dental care, including protective sealants or extractions, costing between 1,500 and 5,000 EUR.
