RESUMO
Characteristics of ectodermal dysplasia and agammaglobulinemia have been presented and a case in a 6 1/2-year-old boy having both genetic diseases is reported. The child had been mocked by his peers at school. A maxillary overlay denture and mandibular cast denture were constructed using a Baker bar and cast gold thimble crowns. The parents reported that the patients personality changed favorably after dental treatment was completed. He is now 13 years of age, has had his dentures replaced once, and enjous a rather active life with the aid of antibiotics and supplemental globulins.

Broken, lost, swallowed, or aspirated teeth can be a hazard in dental and medical practice. Because of the magnitude of soft-tissue trauma associated with minor tooth fracture, the physician may be the first to see the child. Every attempt should be made to locate the missing tooth structure before the wound is closed. This can be accomplished through a detailed history of the accident, careful examination, and roentgenograms, if necessary. Three cases are reported in which tooth fragments were imbedded in wounds.

Case histories of two patients with the whistling face syndrome are presented. The most striking features are microstomia, midface hypoplasia, scoliosis, and retarded growth. Family histories were unremarkable, except possibly in Patient K. B.'s family, where three miscarriages in six pregnancies were noted. Biochemical and chromosome analysis did not reveal obvious changes. The genetics implied a sporadic inheritance pattern.

A familial case report of oral-facial-digital I syndrome affecting three generations is presented. The pedigree analysis substantiates that this syndrome is lethal for the male. The abnormal physical findings in the affected persons were predominantly associated with the oral structures. The need for early identification and diagnosis is imperative in the management of the affected females. This approach assists in the control of serious dental complications and allows for a professional overview of the growth and development of facial form. Also, supportive counseling acts as an aid in the control of emotional disturbances that can be associated with physical form and function. Since this syndrome is transmitted as an X-linked dominant affecting females, genetic counseling becomes a necessity in the care and management of the family and affected patients.
