Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with localized aggressive periodontitis and amelogenesis imperfecta

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is aninherited medical condition that implies defects in steroid biosynthesis. The dental findings of a female patient with CAH are reported. The patient suffered from severe periodontal tissue destruction, obvious enamel defects, as well as some occlusal problems. The management approach is presented and the possibility of interrelation of her dental findings with her medical condition is discussed.
