The clinicopathological findings on a 17-year-old female with the Möbius/Moebius syndrome are reported. The signs and symptoms of this neuromus-cular condition include congenital bilateral or unilateral palsies of the facial and abducens cranial nerves and a broad scope of multisystem abnormalities. A case of unilateral deficiencies of cranial nerves VI and VII, congenital ectro-dactyly of toes, and multiple congenitally missing primary and permanent teeth is reported. A review of the literature reveals various ideas regarding the diversity of symptoms and the etiology of the syndrome. The purpose of this article is to report oral manifestations, such as congenitally missing teeth, associated with Möbius syndrome.

The incidence of dental abnormalities in the cleft lip and palate population has been reported to be much higher than in the normal population. The role of genes in the production of a cleft lip and palate, and dental anomalies is thought to be complex, with autosomal dominant, recessive, and x-linked genes all playing a role. Noncleft parents can carry some of the cleft lip and palate genes, which produce clinically subtle manifestations in their facial skeleton. The purpose of this study was to look for evidence of increased dental anomalies in the non-cleft parents of cleft lip and palate children. The dentitions of the parents of 60 children with different types of cleft lip and palate were examined prospectively to see whether or not they exhibited features found more readily in the cleft lip and palate rather than did the normal population. Their dentitions were studied to record the following dental features: congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, or morphologic changes of the crowns of the permanent teeth. The number and position of any frenal attachments were also recorded. The results of this study did not show any differences in incidence of dental anomalies from the noncleft population. There was no evidence to support the hypothesis that congenital absence of lateral incisors is a microform of cleft lip and palate. Further, these results also failed to reveal any consistent pattern in the number and position of frenal attachments.

Background: Dental agenesis is a term that refers to the absence of one or more teeth, and hypodontia refers to a severe type of tooth agenesis involving less than six or more than one congenitally missing teeth, excluding the third molars. Purpose: This aimed to report the correction of overbite by using intrusion archwires. Case: A 20-year-old female patient had class I malocclusion and deep overbite, incisor retroclination, mild mandibular crowding and agenesis of 12, 13, 14, 15, and 24. Case management: The case was treated with non-extraction using 0.022 pre-adjusted technique to level and unravel using intrusion archwires to correct the deep overbite. Conclusion: The 17-month treatment resulted in a corrected overbite, good occlusion, and good facial aesthetics.

ABSTRACTThis clinical report describes a male with autosomal recessive generalized hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta. This case is unusual in coronal resorptions prior to tooth eruption. This finding has been reported in some cases of autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant and X linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In reported cases, the defects were usually small and occurred in a maximum of 2 teeth per person. In our case, pre-eruptive coronal resorptions affected three second molar teeth from both jaws. On the other hand; congenitally missing teeth and malocclusion were present in this case. Recall evaluations at 3 month intervals occurred for a period of 2 years and then prosthodontic management began. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:140-144)
