    Abstract:
    Radicular dentin dysplasia (DD-I) is a rare hereditary dental alteration. It is characterized clinically by almost normal looking crowns and severe hypermobility of the teeth. The radiographic analysis, on the other hand, discloses the obliteration of all pulp chambers, the short, malformed roots and plenty of periapical bone radiolucencies on noncarious teeth. A case of radicular dentin dysplasia is presented. In this 43-year-old woman the diagnosis was supported, besides the clinical and radiographic analysis, by the pedigree of the proband, which showed the autosomal dominant pattern of feature transmission. Further-more, the electron microscopic analysis of one extracted molar revealed the atubular structure of the secondary dentin, and its globular organization.
