Dental findings of children with biliary atresia: report of seven cases.

Patients with congenital biliary atresia (CBA) showed green staining of the teeth and soft tissues. Current cases of biliary atresia show various degrees of green staining in the primary and/or permanent dentition, suggesting a correlation between the degree of staining and the severity of the disease. Rampant caries was found in five out of seven patients. The importance of meticulous oral hygiene should be emphasized.
