Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of connective tissue that affects the skeleton, ligament, skin, sclerae and dentin. It is thought to be characterized by the abnormal maturation of collagen in both mineralized and nonmineralized tissues. The three major clinical criteria are osteoporosis with abnormal fragility of the skeleton, blue sclerae and dentinogenesis imperfecta. The presence of two of these abnormalities confirms the diagnosis. We have experienced two cases of osteogenesis imperfecta congenita. The diagnosis was established by clinical and radiographic findings. A brief review of literature was made.
Key Words: Osteogenesis Imperfecta Congenita.
