Abstract
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a collective term for a number of developmental conditions
characterized by abnormal enamel formation. Only a few cases of AI have been reported
to occur in association with syndromes and metabolic conditions. McGibbon Syndrome
or AI and Nephrocalcinosis Syndrome are such disorders with defective enamel and renal
calcifications. Early diagnosis of this condition is essential to prevent renal failure and
death of the patient.
