Trichodental dysplasia: a rare syndrome with distinct dental findings.

Abstract

The association of fine, dry, short hair and the developmental absence of several teeth has been associated with a rare autosomal dominant variant of ectodermal dysplasia known as trichodental syndrome or trichodental dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to present the case of a 4-year-old boy with trichodental syndrome. Clinical, radiographic, and genetic manifestations are described, along with a pertinent review of the literature.
