Genodermatoses with teeth abnormalities

Oral Dis. 2020 Jul;26(5):1032-1044. doi: 10.1111/odi.13295. Epub 2020 Feb 25.

Abstract

Many genodermatoses exhibit abnormal teeth findings. Studies examining these entities are scarce and narrow in their scope. This paper reviews the evolution, development, and structure of the tooth and provides a summary of genodermatoses with aberrant dental findings. The latter are classified according to the abnormal dental findings: periodontal disease, anodontia/oligodontia/hypodontia, polydontia, enamel hypoplasia, natal teeth, dental pits, and others. Finally, we provide an algorithm that dermatologists and dentists can follow to better recognize genodermatoses with dental involvement.

Keywords: dental; dermatology; genetics; genodermatoses; teeth.
