Abstract:
A 9-year-old girl is presented who was initially misdiagnosed and finally diagnosed with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva only after presentation with progressive limitation of her mouth opening. The clinical, histopathological, and molecular biological aspects of this uncommon disorder will be discussed. Furthermore, dental and surgical guidelines will be described.
