Published: April 2006

The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical features of otodental syndrome. A 9-year-old boy presented with dental abnormalities that have been described for otodental syndrome. The characteristic findings included large bulbous crowns in canine and molar teeth of both dentitions, deep vertical enamel fissures separating the cusps of affected molars, and hypoplastic yellow areas on the labial surfaces of the canines. Radiographs revealed the abnormal molars to possibly be the product of fusion of multiple tooth buds. The pulp chambers appeared to be duplicated, and possibly a supernumerary tooth or complex odontoma is present.

Otodental syndrome is a rare combination of hearing loss and the presence of a pathognomonic dental phenotype known as globodontia, in which the tooth exhibits an abnormal globe shape. There is no histologic evidence of structural anomalies in the enamel, dentin, or pulp.
