Caries occurrence in Klinefelter syndrome men (47,XXY males).
Men with the Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY males) and their brothers were studied as regards their caries experiences as part of a comprehensive study on oral facial growth and health in individuals with sex chromosome anomalies. The results show that caries experience was greater among the 47,XXY men than among their normal brothers, and a greater proportion of the 47,XXY men's cumulative caries experience consisted of extractions.
