Abstract:
This clinical case report details the comprehensive diagnosis and dental management of a seven-year-old female patient diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder, amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival fibromatosis syndrome (AIGFS). The case initially presented as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta, but further genetic analysis revealed the involvement of AIGFS due to a mutation in the FAM20A gene. Diagnosis, confirmed through whole exome sequencing, clinical assessment, and laboratory tests, necessitated a multidisciplinary approach to address the treatment of such cases. The article underscores the critical importance of diagnosing and managing dental manifestations in pediatric patients with complex genetic conditions, highlighting the difficulties of treating AIGFS in mixed dentition. This case also highlights the indispensable role of pediatric dentists in diagnosing and treating these cases, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals with AIGFS.
