title: Craniofacial and dental study of mulibrey nanism.
abstract: Dental and craniofacial features of 17 children and young adults suffering from the recently discovered mulibrey nanism syndrome are described and discussed. The present data do not allow any definite craniofacial typification of the syndrome. However, several findings suggest that we may be dealing with persistence of infantile structural relationships in the craniofacial area.
