Comments

This 24-year-old man with chronic renal failure resulting from a congenital kidney malformation developed enamel hypoplasia which affected his primary and permanent dentition. After undergoing dialysis for 6 years, he received a kidney transplant. The pale yellow dentin pigment resulted from lack of enamel and prolonged exposure to the oral environment.
