Oral and Maxillofacial Considerations in Gardner's Syndrome: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Gardner syndrome (GS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by intestinal polyps, multiple osteomas, and soft tissue tumors. Dental abnormalities such as impacted or unerupted teeth, congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, hypercementosis, and compound odontomas are present in 30% to 75%, and osteomas in 68% to 82% of GS patients. This study described the stomatological manifestation of GS in two patients. In addition, the important role of the dentist in its diagnosis is emphasized.
