Thirteen individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) from three families were evaluated. All examined persons with OI had multilocular radiolucent, radiopaque, or radiolucent-radiopaque lesions of the maxilla and mandible. In most patients, the lesions involved the tooth bearing areas, but in two, the rami also were involved. Teeth were normal. Radiologic findings in the extragnathic skeleton included marked coarseness of trabeculae and diffuse osteopenia. It is proposed that these patients represent yet another dominantly inherited OI syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
