Abstract: | Complete absence of third molars and mandibular permanent second molars is reported in a 19-year-old female, with occipito-frontal head circumference and height at the 3rd centile. The patient's intelligence, appearance and physical examination were normal. Direct count of the patient's sweat pores in different areas of the palms and digits was normal. Microcephaly, short stature and normal intelligence have been reported in two families as a distinct autosomal dominant syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, oligodontia, in addition to these findings, has not been previously reported. |
