Amelogenesis Imperfecta with Nephrocalcinosis: A Rare Association in Siblings

Abstract: Enamel hypoplasia secondary to amelogenesis imperfect (AI) is one of the common developmental disturbances associated with the oral cavity. AI in association with multiple unerupted teeth is a rare entity, and in adolescence it not only has an affect on esthetics but also has an impact on the psychological status of the person. AI has been reported with other systemic anomalies previously. We report a case of AI in association with multiple unerupted teeth and nephrocalcinosis in siblings. The present case als… Show more

“…It is also important to provide the patient with oral rehabilitation to increase the patient’s quality of life, which can be severely impaired by this condition [ 5 ]. Primary failure of eruption is difficult to manage, and there is no current literature about assisted eruption with orthodontic traction in patients with ERS [ 11 ]. It does appear that the normal eruptive process of teeth is altered leading to impaction and ankylosis [ 11 ].…”
