Dental rehabilitation of acute cases of enamel renal syndrome is challenging due to the absence of clinical reports. In the present case history report, examination of an 18-year-old patient revealed a complete lack of permanent teeth, as well as irregular and swollen bone and gingival morphology. Radiographs showed multiple impacted teeth in both arches. Creating a 1.5- to 2-cm interarch space was necessary for setting complete dentures. The ideal occlusal plane was chosen by combining two techniques (cephalometric radiograph and modification of the mandibular occlusal rim according to anatomical guidelines). Extraction of impacted teeth and recontouring of the alveolar process were performed simultaneously. The mandibular denture was connected through Locator abutments to two symphyseal implants. This pioneering clinical report will provide guidance to practitioners in the surgical intervention of patients with FAM20A (family with sequence similarities 20 A) gene mutations.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

Article Synopsis
- Enamel renal syndrome (ERS) presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment, primarily involving issues with enamel formation and kidney health, making patient management complex and often requiring specialized dental care.
- A case study demonstrates the long-term management of a patient diagnosed with ERS after a delay in diagnosis, including genetic confirmation and ongoing nephrological monitoring for related complications.
- The findings emphasize the necessity for integrated dental and medical care for patients with syndromic disorders, as well as the need for continuous monitoring of renal health, which shows a favorable prognosis despite the intricate nature of the condition.

Article Synopsis
- - Rare diseases, though infrequent (happening in 100-500 per million), pose significant challenges in pediatric dentistry due to their complex needs and the required specialized care.
- - Conditions like X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), hypophosphatasia (HPP), and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) show how systemic health problems can directly affect oral health, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment.
- - XLH is particularly notable, caused by mutations in the PHEX gene, leading to issues such as poor enamel mineralization, dental abscesses, and unique dental manifestations, emphasizing the crucial role dentists play in early diagnosis and referrals to genetic specialists.
