J Dent Child (Chic). 2008 May-Aug;75(2):185-7.

Abstract

Kabuki Syndrome (KS) is a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome of unknown etiology. It is characterized by a dysmorphic face, postnatal growth retardation, skeletal abnormalities, mental retardation, and unusual dermatoglyphic patterns. The characteristic dental findings include hypodontia, microdontia, absence of upper lateral and lower central incisors and upper molars, abnormal tooth shape, widely spaced teeth, ectopic upper molars and malocclusion. The purpose of this report is to describe common and additional dental findings and dental treatment of an 11-year old female patient with KS. This case report emphasises the importance of oral and dental manifestations for diagnosis.
