Correct answer: B. Osteogenesis imperfecta

  • A. Osteoporosis
  • B. Osteogenesis imperfecta
  • C. Osteitis deformans
  • D. Osteitis fibrosa cystic

Osteogenesis imperfecta results from defective type I collagen and classically produces fragile bones, blue sclerae and opalescent or amber-translucent teeth. Osteoporosis causes reduced bone mass but does not characteristically cause blue sclerae or abnormal tooth translucency.
