Size of tooth crowns and position of teeth concerning the extension of facial plexiform neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Abstract

Oral inspection should be carried out in all patients with NF1. Unilateral alterations of the position of teeth and asymmetries of the jaws should alert the investigator to search for an ipsilateral PNF of the second or third trigeminal branch. The size and dimensions of tooth crowns appear not to be affected by the disease.
