Results: Of the patients, 81% suffered fractures, 24% in the femur, 53% of the patients presented dentinogenesis imperfecta, 71% of the patients are treated with bisphosphonates and 83% with pamidronate.
Conclusions: The majority of the patients have suffered fractures during their lives, dentinogenesis imperfecta is frequent in these patients and the majority of them are under treatment with bisphosphonates.
