Abstract:	The aim of this report is to discuss the effects of childhood drug ingestion and metabolic disturbances of ill health in childhood on the coloration, structure and therefore the aesthetics of permanent dentition. To illustrate this, the report presents a case of a 15 year old Nigerian girl with combined tetracycline staining and chronological enamel hypoplastic defects on her teeth. The relationship between the clinical appearance of her teeth and her childhood medical and drug history are analyzed. The various treatment modalities available for the management of the dental anomalies are discussed along with the rationale for the treatment given. Strategies for the prevention of these conditions arc emphasized.
