Abstract
Green stain is an uncommon condition associated with deposition of bilirubin in dental hard tissues. Prolonged hyperbilirubinemia has long been recognized as a frequent clinical manifestation of infection in the newborn, although the green staining of teeth caused by cholestasis associated with sepsis has not yet been reported. The purpose of this report is to present a case of green teeth of the primary dentition in a 3-year-old Brazilian girl. In addition, previously reported cases and their associated medical histories are analyzed.Entities:
