Abstract

A common complication of chronic renal disease is renal
osteodystrophy and involvement of the jaws is frequent. However,
localized enlargement of the jaws is a rare complication of renal
osteodystrophy in adolescent patients. An asymptomatic
enlargement of the maxilla in an adolescent patient with chronic
renal disease is presented.

Keywords
