Abstract





Enamel Renal Syndrome (ERS), is a rare genetic condition that is characterized by hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta, failed tooth eruption, intra-pulpal calcifications, gingival enlargement, and in some patients, nephrocalcinosis. Patients with ERS are likely to seek dental care first due to the retention of primary teeth and failure of permanent tooth eruption. Herein we report a case exhibiting the orodental hallmarks (amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival hyperplasia) of ERS without the renal symptoms, in a young female patient.
