  • Title: Amelogenesis imperfecta and nephrocalcinosis: a new case of this rare syndrome.
    Author: Normand de la Tranchade I, Bonarek H, Marteau JM, Boileau MJ, Nancy J.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 2003; 27(2):171-5. PubMed ID: 12597691.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a new case of a rare syndrome including enamel agenesis of the primary and permanent dentition, delayed or absent eruption of the permanent dentition, coronal intra-alveolar resorption and gingival enlargement. Renal symptoms include medullary nephrocalcinosis without any apparent cause, and evolution to a renal failure. The early diagnosis provided by the oral symptoms leads to a better renal prognosis. As a consequence, pediatric dentists should be aware of this pathology.
