ABSTRACT: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a disease primarily affecting amelogenesis, but other various aberrations have been reported in association with this entity. Enamel-renal syndrome (ERS) is a very rare disorder associating AI with nephrocalcinosis. It is known by various synonyms such as AI nephrocalcinosis syndrome, MacGibbon syndrome, Lubinsky syndrome and Lubinsky-MacGibbon syndrome. The purposes of this article are to describe other dental anomalies which are rarely associated with AI making the diagnosis of AI a complex disorder and also to report a rare case of MacGibbon syndrome presented with sialolith of submandibular gland duct which is the first reported case in the literature.
