Characteristics and dental treatment of partial trisomy 9.
A description is made of the dental characteristics and treatment of a patient with partial trisomy 9. Due to the deep mental retardation and motor deficiency of the patient involved, treatment (extractions, caries restorations and periodontal treatment) is conducted in hospital and under general anesthesia. Trisomy 9 has only rarely been described in literature, and the present study provides one of the first descriptions of both the dental characteristics of these patients and the treatment of their oral pathology.
