Background: Amelogenesis imperfecta (Al) is a group of hereditary conditions that primarily involves the defective formation and/or calcification of enamel. The association of Al with gingival enlargement-like lesions has also been reported. Methods: This paper reports a case of a hypoplastic Al associated with unusual generalized gingival hyperplasia. Results: Histological aspect of the gingival growth was characterized by a dense connective tissue with a mild mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate, calcified bodies, and islands of odontogenic epithelium. Conclusion: The present case represents a very interesting demonstration of the fact that, although rare, Al may be associated with generalized gingival enlargement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
