Lopez Jimenez J, Romero Dominguez A, Gimenez Prats MJ, Chimenos Kutsner E.

Servicio de Estomatologia, Hospital Nino Dios de Barcelona, Espana.

A description is made of the dental characteristics and treatment of a patient
with partial trisomy 9. Due to the deep mental retardation and motor deficiency
of the patient involved, treatment (extractions, caries restorations and
periodontal treatment) is conducted in hospital and under general anesthesia.
Trisomy 9 has only rarely been described in literature, and the present study
provides one of the first descriptions of both the dental characteristics of
these patients and the treatment of their oral pathology.
