Dentin dysplasia (DD) is a rare clinical entity that can affect deciduous dentition alone, or both deciduous and permanent dentition. It is a developmental disorder that can be classified as DD type I or type II. This case report describes a rare case of DD type I in a 19-year-old patient, highlighting the clinical presentation and the radiographic features of the condition, confirmed by ground sectioning and microscopic examination of extracted teeth. The case report also describes the management of this patient using zygoma and endosteal implants.
