Abstract :Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as glass bone disease; It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease with a prevalence of approximately 1/15,000-1/20,000, with clinical findings such as increased bone fragility, blue sclera, dental disorders, dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, ligamentous laxity, long bone fractures and deformities. In OI, which is the most common cause of genetically-induced osteoporosis, long bone fractures and vertebral compression fractures are seen after a simple trauma. In OI patients, dental anomalies are seen clinically as dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), malocclusion, mandibular prognathism, and decrease in vertical dimension. In this article, it is aimed to evaluate an important bone disease such as osteogenesis imperfecta by emphasizing its clinical and oral findings.
