Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by mutations in the genes involved in the production of type 1 collagen. OI is also known as brittle bone disease.
OBJECTIVE
This study aims to describe the prevalence of dental anomalies (except dentinogenesis imperfecta) in individuals with OI, and compare the prevalence of dental anomalies between individuals with and without OI and between individuals with different types of OI.
SEARCH METHODS
Searches in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, and gray literature were performed in October 2022.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Observational studies (with or without a comparison group) that evaluated the prevalence of dental anomalies in individuals with OI. Data collection and analysis: Data items were extracted by two authors. Quality assessment employing the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists and meta-analyses was conducted. Results were provided in prevalence values and odds ratio (OR) / 95% confidence interval (CI). Strength of evidence was determined.
RESULTS
Eighteen studies were included. Most prevalent dental anomalies in individuals with OI included pulp obliteration (46.4%), dental impaction (33.5%), dental impaction of second molars (27%), and tooth agenesis (23.9%). Individuals with OI type III/IV had 20.16-fold greater chance of exhibiting tooth discoloration in comparison with individuals with OI type I (CI: 1.10-370.98). In comparison with the group without OI, the individuals with OI had 6.90-fold greater chance of exhibiting dental impaction (CI: 1.54-31.00). High methodological quality was found in 47% of the studies. Strength of evidence was low or very low.
CONCLUSIONS
Pulp obliteration, dental impaction, and tooth agenesis were the most prevalent dental anomalies in the OI group. Individuals with OI were more likely to have dental impaction than individuals without OI. Individuals with OI type III/IV (severe-moderate) are more likely to have tooth discoloration than individuals with OI type I (mild).

BACKGROUND
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare, connective tissue disorder characterised by bone fragility, resulting in recurrent fractures and skeletal deformities. Extra-skeletal manifestations include dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing abnormalities and lung disease. These co-morbidities combined with recurrent fractures can exert a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). It is important to assess HR-QOL throughout adulthood because the prevalence of some OI-specific complications increases with age.
METHODS
PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases were searched on 2nd February 2022 to identify studies reporting quantitative assessments of HR-QOL in adults with OI. The primary endpoint was to determine the impact of an OI diagnosis on adult's HR-QOL. Secondary endpoints were to (i) examine how frequently various HR-QOL assessment tools were used (ii) identify differences in HR-QOL between OI types and (iii) investigate the determinants of HR-QOL in adults with OI. Search results were exported to Endnote where two reviewers independently conducted title/abstract and full-text reviews. Data from accepted studies were extracted into Microsoft Excel. A narrative synthesis was then undertaken.
RESULTS
The review identified 17 studies with a total of 1,648 adults. The Short Form-36 (SF-36) was the most frequently reported HR-QOL assessment tool and was used in nine studies. Physical HR-QOL was reduced in adults with OI. Physical component scores (PCS) or individual physical domains of the SF-36 were lower in eight of nine studies. Mental component scores (MCS) were preserved in all six studies, however individual mental health domains of the SF-36 were reduced in some studies. The prevalence of anxiety/depression was relatively low in adults with OI. Those with type III OI had lower physical and respiratory HR-QOL but preserved mental HR-QOL compared with type I. The prevalence of fatigue and pain was higher in adults with OI compared with reference populations. Age and cardio-pulmonary co-morbidities were associated with lower HR-QOL.
CONCLUSION
OI in adulthood has a wide-ranging negative impact on HR-QOL. Physical and respiratory HR-QOL were lower, while the prevalence of pain and fatigue were higher than in reference populations. Mental HR-QOL was relatively preserved, although some deficits were identified. Age and cardio-pulmonary co-morbidities were associated with lower HR-QOL.

Review
OBJECTIVES
A better understanding of the microstructure and mechanical properties of enamel and dentine may enable practitioners to apply the current adhesive dentistry protocols to clinical cases involving dentine disorders (dentinogenesis imperfecta or dentine dysplasia).
DATA/SOURCES
Publications (up to June 2020) investigating the microstructure of dentine disorders were browsed in a systematic search using the PubMed/Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library electronic databases. Two authors independently selected the studies, extracted the data in accordance with the PRISMA statement, and assessed the risk of bias with the Critical Appraisal Checklist. A Mann-Whitney U test was computed to compare tissues damage related to the two dentine disorders of interest.
STUDY SELECTION
From an initial total of 642 studies, only 37 (n = 164 teeth) were included in the present analysis, among which 18 investigating enamel (n = 70 teeth), 15 the dentine-enamel junction (n = 62 teeth), and 35 dentine (n = 156 teeth). Dentine is damaged in cases of dentinogenesis imperfecta and osteogenesis imperfecta (p = 2.55E-21 and p = 3.99E-21, respectively). These studies highlight a reduction in mineral density, hardness, modulus of elasticity and abnormal microstructure in dentine disorders. The majority of studies report an altered dentine-enamel junction in dentinogenesis imperfecta and in osteogenesis imperfecta (p = 6.26E-09 and p = 0.001, respectively). Interestingly, enamel is also affected in cases of dentinogenesis imperfecta (p = 0.0013), unlike to osteogenesis imperfecta (p = 0.056).
CONCLUSIONS
Taking into account all these observations, only a few clinical principles may be favoured in the case of adhesive cementation: (i) to preserve the residual enamel to enhance bonding, (ii) to sandblast the tooth surfaces to increase roughness, (iii) to choose a universal adhesive and reinforce enamel and dentine by means of infiltrant resins. As these recommendations are mostly based on in vitro studies, future in vivo studies should be conducted to confirm these hypotheses.

Rare splicing mutation in COL1A1 gene identified by whole exomes sequencing in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta type I followed by prenatal diagnosis: A case report and review of the literature.
BACKGROUND
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disease characterized by increased bone fragility and predisposition to fractures, bone deformities and other major signs such as dentinogenesis imperfecta, blue sclera and deafness. Over 90% of OI cases are caused by mutations in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes and the inheritance is autosomal dominant.
METHODS
We present a case of a couple requesting genetic counseling, because the man was diagnosed with OI on a clinical and radiological basis and the woman was pregnant. Whole exomes sequencing (WES) was performed in order to identify the mutation (s), followed by prenatal diagnosis.
RESULTS
WES identified a rare splicing mutation c.1155 + 1G > C in the COL1A1 gene recognized to be pathogenic and subsequently confirmed by next generation sequencing. The carrier state of the mutation was excluded for the fetus, so the pregnancy was further pursued and a healthy baby was born at term.
CONCLUSIONS
WES is a new and effective technique for detecting pathogenic variants in monogenic diseases and it is preferable to use such a technique in diseases with genetic heterogeneity especially when time does not allow another time-consuming diagnostic technique such classical Sanger sequencing. WES offers possibility to expand the global spectrum of OI pathogenic variants enabling the diagnosis of the disease.

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of inherited connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and variable tissue fragility. However, there are limited published data on the dental manifestations of EDS. This review systematically assessed the spectrum of published dental anomalies in various types of EDS. Twenty-four individual case reports/series and 3 longer case-control studies, reporting on a total of 84 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of EDS, were included in the data analysis. The main dental features listed in classical EDS were pulp calcification and localized root hypoplasia. Common dental abnormalities observed in vascular EDS were pulp shape modifications (52.2%), exceeding root length (34.8%), and molar root fusion (47.8%). Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a consistent finding in osteogenesis imperfecta/EDS overlap syndrome. Data on dental manifestations in other types of EDS are both rare and generally inconclusive.
