| Abstract: | A 13-year-old male patient classified as Type VIII, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, in which the typical periodontal findings are not seen, is presented. The patient has many partially erupted deciduous teeth and partially erupted mandibular permanent incisors. It is suggested that Type VIII has two subdivisions. In subdivision A there is periodontal involvement with a normal eruption pattern; subdivision B has no periodontal involvement, but the teeth do not erupt. |
