Correct answer: B. Defective dentine and obliterated pulp chamber

  • A. Defective enamel and dentine
  • B. Defective dentine and obliterated pulp chamber
  • C. Increased rate of caries
  • D. Oligodontia

Explanation

Dentinogenesis imperfecta primarily produces defective, opalescent dentine with early pulp obliteration, giving very small or absent pulp chambers radiographically. Enamel may fracture secondarily, but the defining defect is dentine rather than oligodontia.
