Abstract
- Purpose The purpose of the study was the investigation of supernumerary teeth (ST) in the permanent dentition of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Material and methods The panoramic radiographs of 200 NF1 patients were analysed for ST. The potential impact of certain neurogenic facial tumours on the measured variable was investigated separately. The results were compared to dental findings in panoramic radiographs of 200 age- and sex-matched controls. Results The total number of ST in all individuals was 23 in 12 patients (3% of total population). However, all ST had developed in the group of NF1 patients (6%), (p = 0.0004). ST were particularly common distal to the molar region. Although ST occur in the region of facial plexiform neurofibroma, the numerical aberrations of the dentition are independent of specific type of facial nerve sheath tumour. Conclusion The unusual accumulation of ST in the terminal sections of molar development could be an indicator of preferred points of developmental disorder, in which the genetic predisposition of the patient is involved. Reviewing the results of other NF1 patient collectives is desirable.
