Erythrodontia

What it means

Reddish, brown opalescent discoloration of teeth in normal light.

This feature is characteristic of Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation in the gene that codifies uroporphyrinogen-III synthase, leading to porphyrin accumulation in many tissues.
