Multiple developmental
dental anomalies and hypermobility type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Othman M. Yassin, DDS,MSc / Farouk B. Rihani, BDS, JDB

Concurrent existence of multiple developmental
dental anomalies: hypodontia of permanent mandibular incisors,
dentin dysplasia, transmigration, root dilaceration, ectopic eruption
and delayed eruption combined with systemic abnormalities including
joint hyperlaxity and skin hyperextensibility aided in diagnosis
of a sporadic case of hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
in a Jordanian Arab male. In dental practice the presence of multiple
developmental dental anomalies expressing simultaneous defects
in different stages of tooth development should raise suspicion
of possible of manifestation of an underlying systemic abnormality.
