title: Mesiodistal dimension of permanent teeth in men with Klinefelter's syndrome.
abstract: The effects of an extra chromosome on tooth size were investigated and compared to male and female controls, respectively. Mesiodistal dimensions in men with Klinefelter's syndrome were generally found to be decreased when compared to the male controls. A more pronounced inhibitory effect of an extra X chromosome was observed in the case of incisors and canines, indicating a varied influence on this chromosomal anomaly on dental growth.
