ABSTRACT
Cohen syndrome is a hereditary disorder transmitted as an autosomal-recessive trait. Approximately 100 cases have been reported in the genetic and pediatric literature. Despite the fact that oral alterations are often observed in these cases, only 1 work has been published addressing this specific topic, and it tended to concentrate on periodontal abnormalities. The present study details 2 new patients, 2 brothers (8 and 11 years old), and mainly consists of an analysis of the dentomaxillary anomalies that until now have not been studied in depth. In this study, the mandible, characterized as hypoplastic in Cohen syndrome, appears to be in a normal position; what really exists is a maxillary hyperplasia of genetic origin. We also put forward an observation hitherto undescribed in the literature dental agenesis.
