August 26, 2020

In a new study, researchers in the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network’s Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium (BBD) surveyed adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to learn about their oral symptoms and how these affect their quality of life. Participants’ answers are clarifying the oral health needs of kids with OI and guiding future research for orthodontic interventions.
