A rare case of tooth-nail syndrome.
The present work is a case report of a 11-year-old patient directed for consultations to Department of Paedodontics, Medical University of Lublin. The clinical examination ascertained numerous lacks of permanent teeth, there were only central incisors in maxilla and first molars in mandibula. With the exception of teeth 54, 55, 64, 74, 84, which were reincluded, the patient had remaining deciduous teeth. The radiographic examination confirmed large oligodontia within permanent teeth. Hair, sweat glands, anterior chamber and bottom of the eye were correct. Little disturbances within nail plates of palm fingers were found. A gentle form of ectodermal dysplasia was recognized as a tooth-nail syndrome (Witkop's syndrome).
