Enamel alterations, such as amelogenesis imperfecta, can compromise the harmony of the smile and the patient's self-esteem and may cause tooth sensitivity. A simple and effective treatment approach uses the natural stratification of composite resins to mask deficient enamel formation and mimic the natural appearance of the substrate. The operative steps and principles for restorative success are described in this case report with 36-month follow-up.

Introduction: Childhood early oral ageing syndrome (CEOAS) is a condition involving oral abnormalities resulting from systemic diseases of different origins that are related to the current lifestyle of the paediatric population. Enamel defects associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors promote the early loss of tooth structure at an accelerated pace, with negative impacts on function, aesthetics and quality of life. The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of early tooth wear in childhood and its severity using the CEOAS index, which is a tool for the diagnosis of the condition and for epidemiological surveys, involving the investigation of abnormalities of the oral cavity in the paediatric population and possible factors associated with the severity of the condition.

Article Synopsis
- - Amelogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder that affects the enamel of teeth, which can lead to problems in both baby and adult teeth, sometimes linked with other health issues.
- - A rare condition called enamel renal syndrome occurs when amelogenesis imperfecta is found alongside kidney stones, which complicates diagnosis due to unclear criteria.
- - The case of a 12-year-old boy with tooth discoloration and kidney stones highlights the importance of thorough medical evaluations to avoid serious complications from these conditions.
