Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe: Oral findings

Lowe syndrome is characterized by abnormalities of the eyes, central nervous system and kidneys, caused by a mutation of the oculocerebrorenal gene on the X-chromosome. Oral features associated with this syndrome include enamel hypoplasia, chronic gingivitis and mobile teeth, with few studies focusing on these features. The present case report describes the oral and dental findings of a 10-year-old boy with Lowe syndrome, who was followed for 4 years. In spite of several treatment sessions and oral hygiene appointments, the chronic gingivitis with anterior fibrotic gingiva has increased over time, as well as the mobility of the anterior permanent teeth.
