Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans. Taurodontism may occur as one of many dentofacial manifestations of KS and can be detected before development of other physical characteristics. Identification of patients with taurodontic teeth may lead to early recognition of the disorder and could substantially improve quality of life. The objective of this report is to review the general characteristics and dentofacial manifestations of KS, specifically taurodontism, and present a patient with the 48,XXXY variant where root-canal therapy was successfully completed in 3 anatomically varied taurodontic teeth.
克兰费尔特综合征(KS)是人类最常见的染色体异常疾病。牛牙症可能作为KS多种牙颌面表现之一出现,并且在其他身体特征出现之前就能被检测到。识别患有牛牙症的患者可能会导致该疾病的早期诊断,并且可以显著提高生活质量。本报告的目的是回顾KS的一般特征和牙颌面表现,特别是牛牙症,并介绍一位患有48,XXXY变异型的患者,其3颗解剖结构各异的牛牙成功完成了根管治疗。
