Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ter Haar syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome with <30 cases reported worldwide. There is nothing within the published literature regarding the dental development and dental features of these patients. CASE REPORT: This case series examines three patients with Ter Haar syndrome and tracks their dental development and identifies common dental and skeletal features. FOLLOW-UP: All three patients received dental treatment and regular follow-up at Great Ormond Street Hospital Dental Department. CONCLUSION: These patients have many common dental and craniofacial features which poses the question as to whether these features are due to Ter Haar syndrome.
