Objective This study investigates crown and root anomalies in patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome. Design This is a retrospective review of patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome who were evaluated at a tertiary care center from 1980-2020. Setting Patients seen in the dental unit from 1980-2020. Patients, Participants Seventeen patients with documented Parry-Romberg Syndrome were referred for dental evaluation. Main Outcome Measures All dental anomalies were documented. Root anomalies were assessed using panoramic radiographs and cone beam CT (CBCT) scans to evaluate buccal-lingual, mesio-distal, and axial measurements of hypoplastic teeth, which were compared to those of contralateral teeth. Results Findings included agenesis (29%, n = 5), hypoplastic teeth (29%, n = 5), delayed canine eruption (24%, n = 4), and mulberry molars (12%, n = 2). Of the five patients with tooth hypoplasia, four had CBCT records and the fifth had panoramic radiographs available for assessment. Axial length was always shorter in hypoplastic teeth relative to contralateral teeth, with differences ranging from 1.2-9.2 mm. Differences in crown size of hypoplastic versus contralateral teeth were unpredictable but always present. Conclusions Patients with Parry-Romberg Syndrome can have hypoplastic roots with atypical crown morphology. A patient’s specific dental anomaly will influence planning and treatment.

“…A rare case of no syphilitic mulberry first molars was described in dental clinic in Raichur, but it involves all the first molars. [ 15 ] A case of 15-year-old girl was reported by Sedano et al, where the defected teeth were again the first permanent molars. [ 4 ] Rodrigo et al reported a case of Hutchinson teeth in a 31-year-old woman which history did not reveal any clues to syphilis and the T pallidum particle agglutination test was negative in both the patient and her mother.…”

Rationale: The common embryologic neural origin of the ectoderm includes the epidermal layer of the skin and the amelodentinal components of the teeth which can result in numerous diseases damaging both skin and dentition. Three main dental abnormalities were described as a consequence of congenital syphilis: Hutchinson incisors, bud molars, and mulberry molars which usually affect all permanent first molars. Patient concerns: As far as we know, this case is the first reported for mulberry second molar in a non-syphilitic patient. Ten projections globular in shape were presented on the occlusal surface of the second mandibular molar. Diagnoses: The findings were characteristic for mulberry molars and therefore diagnosed as mulberry molars. Interventions and outcomes: No prosthetic treatment was conducted, just topical fluoride application was performed, and periodic observations were scheduled. Lessons: It is recommended that gynecologists and pediatricians should be provided with additional information about the local and systemic factors that can lead to developmental diseases of the teeth.

The study of oral pathology is challenging but fascinating. By relating to the things we see frequently, a simple, straightforward method might reduce the tiresome effort of memorization of pathological features. In clinical, radiological, or histological representations, many diseases frequently resemble different foods. Thus, oral pathologists frequently name these diagnostic representations after food entities that we use in daily life to make the study of oral pathology easier and more fascinating. So, in an effort to make the study of oral pathology easier and more entertaining, we have endeavoured to assemble the culinary analogies that we employ in oral pathology.
