Consequences of serious oral injury associated with the congenital analgia syndrome.
Three sisters at the ages of seven months, twelve years, and thirteen years presented with the initial damages to the oral tissues and the distinctive long-term effects in conjunction with the congenital analgia syndrome.

A controlled mastication will be more likely with increasing age and eruption of the permanent teeth.
