Dental findings associated with the malformations of CHARGE.

ABSTRACT

The acronym CHARGE refers to a non-random clustering of congenital malformations whose cause remains unknown. To date, the dental features of CHARGE association are not well known. A brief review of the literature and a case in a 10-year old boy with the CHARGE association are presented. The patient had multiple dental anomalies including congenital absence of teeth, ectopic eruption, submergence of primary molars and an odontogenic fibroma associated with an impacted permanent molar.
