Amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type with taurodontism are often confused.
2.
Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome and amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism are genetically distinct conditions.
3.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant conditions trichodentoosseous syndrome ( TDO ) and amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism.
4.
Leg ulcers, osteoporosis, and taurodontism occur with greater frequency in these patients than in control subjects, and dermatoglyphic studies have shown characteristic abnormalities . }}
5.
It should not be confused with taurodontism ( bull teeth ), fusion ( double tooth ) or the jaws being relatively small, giving the appearance of macrodontia.
6.
In the oral cavity 100 % of people diagnosed with TDO have Taurodontism which is characterized by vertically enlarged pulp chambers at the expense of the roots of the teeth; the floor of the pulp chamber and furcation is moved apically down.
7.
For instance, taurodontism is severely expressed in TDO, but mildly expressed in AIHHT . Currently, researchers are trying to identify the reason for the alteration in the DLX-3 and DLX-7 genes that are responsible for AIHHT versus TDO.
8.
It is phenotypically difficult to diagnose between "'TDO "'and Amelogenesis imperfecta of the hypomaturation-hypoplasia type with taurodontism ( AIHHT ) as they are very closely linked phenotypically during adulthood, and the only distinguishing characteristic is found during genetic analysis by Polymerase Chain Reaction ( PCR ) amplification.
9.
Amelogenesis imperfecta of the hypomaturation type with taurodontism ( AIHHT ) has no hair or bone changes which helps to differentiate between " TDO " cases and AIHHT . Polymerase Chain Reaction also known as PCR is used to amply pieces of DNA and observed for the 141 base pair allele as a result of a deletion of four nucleotides in exon 3 of the DLX-3 gene.
