Abstract

BlochSulzberger syndrome is an uncommon disorder which involves abnormalities in the skin, dental, ocular, hair and central nervous system. A three-year-nine-month-old girl affected by the syndrome was brought to Osaka University Dental Hospital with a complaint of masticatory dysfunction and an aesthetic problem. General health and dental findings are described as follows.<BR>1. Dermatological findings showed the typical features of the BlochSulzberger syndrome.<BR>2. Dental findings included partial anodontia, abnormal morphology of the molars, pegged canines, delayed eruption and malocclusion of the primary dentition. Only eleven tooth buds among the permanent teeth were identified in the orthopanthomogram.<BR>3. Dermatological and dental findings were found peculiar to the left side although both the conditions were found bilaterally.<BR>The treatment should first be focused on the functional problems of the occlusion. In addition, periodical examination including oral hygiene instructions should be conducted.
