title: [Globodontia--a new familial tooth abnormality].
abstract: A new, congenital anomaly of tooth form transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait was found in a father and two of his three sons. While the incisors appeared unchanged, the posterior teeth have characteristic massive globe-shaped crowns with irregularly arranged, rounded cusps. The occlusal surfaces resemble in their extreme form the underside of a tomato. The relation to the otodental syndrome is not clear as yet.
