Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder consisting of progressive loss of vision and hearing.
The paper describes an 8-year-old girl with Usher syndrome type I who presented with generalized defects of the permanent dentition and ectopic eruption of the right maxillary first permanent molar. A cochlear implant had been fitted for her hearing loss, and the report reviews the implications of this device for dental treatment. The impacted first permanent molar was encouraged to erupt into the correct position by shaving the distal surface of the second primary molar.
This is the first report to describe in detail an association between Usher syndrome and enamel defects.
