Active clinical trials for "Dentinogenesis Imperfecta"

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of dentinogenesis (DI) and amelogenesis (AI) imperfecta on oral quality of life, exposure to bullying and dental anxiety in a population of adolescents. WThe present study will use validated scales to evaluate the impact of bullying on the oral quality of live of youth aged 10 to 18 years, with non-syndromic DI or AI treated in seven national competence or reference centers in rare oral diseases.

ExoDent specifically aims to discover new genes and new mutations causing isolated amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) and other dentin anomalies. The key point for clinicians is to distinguish between non syndromic and syndromic disorders in order to improve patients guidance and counseling. To do so, two targeted NGS panel have been designed, one searching for isolated AI and the other for DI. After 18 months, some families remain without any positive results. ExoDent project proposes those negative patients a Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) approach to deeper explore their genetic background.
