title: Consequences of serious oral injury associated with the congenital analgia syndrome.
abstract: 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. The severity of this syndrome justifies the consideration of a prophylactic extraction of the primary dentition. A controlled mastication will be more likely with increasing age and eruption of the permanent teeth.
