Multiple treatment options are available to patients who have impacted canines in addition to congenitally absent premolars. Management options for impacted maxillary canines can include (1) continued observation, (2) extraction of the primary canine to aid spontaneous eruption, (3) uncovering and bonding of the impacted tooth and its eruption using orthodontic traction, (4) autotransplantation, and (5) extraction followed by prosthetic replacement. The options for the treatment of missing premolars can include the following: (1) maintaining the primary molars, (2) spontaneous space closure after early extraction of the primary molar, (3) autotransplantation, (4) prosthetic replacement, and (5) orthodontic space closure. In this case report, treatment of a patient with an impacted maxillary canine and agenesis of three second premolars will be presented.

Background: 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), caused by mutations in the CYP17A1 gene. It typically manifests clinically as variable degree of hypertension, hypokalemia, and disorders of sexual development (DSD), which can include abnormal sexual differentiation in males and sexual infantilism in females. Over 100 mutations in CYP17A1 have been identified, with most cases involving missense mutations or small deletions.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) encompasses inherited retinal dystrophies, appearing either as an isolated eye condition or as part of a broader systemic syndrome, known as syndromic RP. In these cases, RP includes systemic symptoms impacting other organs, complicating diagnosis and management. This review highlights key systemic syndromes linked with RP, such as Usher, Bardet-Biedl, and Alström syndromes, focusing on genetic mutations, inheritance, and clinical symptoms.
