Hajdu Cheney syndrome: a case report

Abstract Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder of bone metabolism. Only one case has been reported describing abnormalities involving the tooth structure in this syndrome. This paper presents a plethora of dental findings of interest and highlights the structural changes in the dentine and cementum. Unexplained loss of teeth is a not infrequent occurrence in people with disabilities, who often have no aetiology identified for their impairment. In such cases, consideration ought to be given to the possibility of such syndromes, particularly when radiographs of the orofacial region may be available as an additional aid to diagnosis.
