Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1977 Feb;43(2):267-83. doi: 10.1016/0030-4220(77)90163-3.

Abstract

Patients with teeth showing all of the clinical, radiographic, and histologic features of radicular dentine dysplasia (type I) have been found to have dense sclerotic bone and skeletal anomalies of the wrists and hand bones. The association of these defects of teeth and bone was found to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait over four generations. Review of theliterature failed to disclose a previous description of this disorder.
