Abstract

Background

Ter Haar syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome with <30 cases reported worldwide. There is nothing within the published literature regarding the dental development and dental features of these patients.

Case report

This case series examines three patients with Ter Haar syndrome and tracks their dental development and identifies common dental and skeletal features.

Follow-up

All three patients received dental treatment and regular follow-up at Great Ormond Street Hospital Dental Department.

Conclusion

These patients have many common dental and craniofacial features which poses the question as to whether these features are due to Ter Haar syndrome.
