Abstract
The oral aspects of a 22-year-old untreated cretin, living in an isolated endemic goiter region of the United States, have been presented and compared to similar case reports in the literature. The most impressive oral finding was the advanced periodontal disease with massive gingival hypertrophy. The other outstanding observation was the essentially normal dental eruption and developmental patterns, although general somatic development and maturation were greatly arrested.
