To study the heritable character and explore the prosthodontic treatment of opalescent dentin, also known as dentinogenesis imperfecta type II(DGI-II).
Pedigree analysis was performed in the family members of patients with DGI-II found in Shanghai. The proband was treated with ceramometal restorations and investigated the treatment status of the DGI-II affected individuals in the family.
Five sequential generations with DGI-II were found in this family. The prevalence of later generation was approximately 50%. The rate of prosthodontic treatment was 90% nearly, including ceramometal restorations in the most of the patients and removable partial dentures in the others. The esthetic and mastication functions of the patients were good after treatment.
DGI-II showed a autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Ceramaometal restorations can prevent the affected teeth from abrasive and fracture, and also can help rehabilitate the esthetic and mastication functions of the teeth.
研究遗传性乳光牙本质（又称Ⅱ型牙本质发育不全，DGI-II）的遗传特征并探索其修复治疗方法。
对在上海发现的DGI-II患者的家庭成员进行家系分析。先证者接受烤瓷熔附金属全冠修复治疗，并调查该家族中DGI-II患者的治疗情况。
该家族发现连续五代患有DGI-II。后代患病率约为50%。修复治疗率近90%，大多数患者采用烤瓷熔附金属全冠修复，其他患者采用可摘局部义齿修复。治疗后患者的美观和咀嚼功能良好。
DGI-II呈常染色体显性遗传模式。烤瓷熔附金属全冠修复可防止患牙磨损和折断，还能帮助恢复牙齿的美观和咀嚼功能。
