Novel dental phenotype in non-syndromic Pierre Robin Sequence: A retrospective study.

Objective: The objective was to investigate dental phenotypes in individuals with non-syndromic Pierre Robin Sequence (ns-PRS) and compare the prevalence of these phenotypes with subjects with non-syndromic cleft palate (ns-CP) and a control group with subjects without any craniofacial anomalies.

Methods: A total of 760 panoramic radiographs of 330 individuals (110 with ns-PRS; 110 with ns-CP and 110 without any malformations) were digitized and evaluated regarding the diagnosis of taurodontism, tooth agenesis, root dilaceration and tooth transposition. Chi-square test was applied to compare the occurrence of dental phenotypes between groups.
