Dental findings of a child with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.
The case presented is that of a 5-year-old female with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Dental findings were severe hypodontia, late dental development, taurodontism of the primary molars, microdontia, and spacing. Hypodontia has previously been reported and therefore this case adds to the evidence that hypodontia may be a common feature of this syndrome. It also suggests that other dental anomalies could occur in children with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.
