    Author: Martelli H, Lima LS, Bonan PR, Coletta RD.
    Journal: Indian J Dent Res; 2010; 21(1):138-40. PubMed ID: 20427926.
    Abstract:
    Clinical manifestations of tuberous sclerosis (TS) are variable, and oral involvement occurs in less than 10% of the affected patients. We reported herein a nine-year-old boy with dental enamel pits and gingival nodular lesions, histologically diagnosed as angiofibromas that leaded to the diagnosis of a family with TS. In this report, we demonstrated the multiprofessional importance in the diagnosis of TS. Early diagnosis of TS is essential for an appropriate treatment of the affected patients and genetic counseling.
