Dental and oral lesions in two patients with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome).
This report is concerned with the manifestations associated with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome) in two patients. Goltz syndrome is a rare polydysplastic syndrome. Systemic findings were similar to those previously reported in the literature and are illustrated. More detailed descriptions of the dental abnormalities are presented. The possibility of root resorption being a previously unreported part of the syndrome is hypothesised.
