Abstract

Klinefelter syndrome includes a group of chromosomal disorders with at least one  additional  X  chromosome  in  male  karyotype  (46,XY).  Up  to  now, different dental manifestations such as taurodontism, congenital absence of permanent teeth, shovel incisors, occlusal anomalies and increased permanent tooth size have been reported. A case of Klinefelter syndrome with very rare dental features is presented.
