Abstract
A case is presented in which there was marked discoloration of the permanent dentition in a 24-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas who could not possibly have received a “tetracycline” until she was 8 years of age and who is not known to have received tetracycline until the age of 12. This case is presented to support the suggestion that the discoloration of the teeth seen in patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas should not necessarily be assumed to be entirely the result of “normal” tetracycline deposition but that there may be some other factor (or factors) within the spectrum of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas itself which also plays either a predisposing or a definitive role.
