Lobster-Claw syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, primarily affects hands and feet but also presents distinct Oro-dental features. This study emphasizes these less-reported dental anomalies, including missing teeth and altered tooth size.

Area of Science:

Genetics
Developmental Biology
Oral Medicine

Background:

Lobster-Claw syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hand-foot malformations.
Existing literature predominantly focuses on the limb deformities, with limited attention to associated Oro-dental manifestations.

Observation:

This paper details the Oro-dental characteristics observed in Lobster-Claw syndrome.
Key features include the persistence of primary (deciduous) teeth and the congenital absence of teeth (hypodontia).

Findings:

Patients exhibit variations in tooth crown size, dental arch length, and dental arch width.
These Oro-dental findings are significant indicators of the syndrome, often overlooked in previous research.

Implications:

Highlighting these Oro-dental features aids in more comprehensive diagnosis and management of Lobster-Claw syndrome.
Understanding the full spectrum of this condition can improve patient care and genetic counseling.
