Dental observations of hyper IgE disorder.
Recognition of "Jobs Syndrome" disorder may lead to better care. One of the dental manifestations reported is a high arched palate. Measurements of the maxillary arch were made to compare affected Job's patients, unaffected family members, and controls. Measurements of the palate found little difference between the three groups. DMFS, periodontal disease, and oral hygiene were evaluated with little difference between groups.
