Fig. 2

a Cropped CBCT image of an individual with phenotypic OI III (OI XI genotype). Intrapulpal calcification (1) and an unusual occlusal anatomy (2) in teeth 17 and 29 are indicative of hypotaurodontism (3); b an individual with Torg-Winchester syndrome. The mandibular molar (L) has 2/3rd of root development completed (1). Large coronal pulp chambers are suggestive of hypotaurodontism and contain several intrapulpal calcifications (2); c An individual with Pyle disease and mesotaurodontism of the first permanent molars (arrows).
