Abstract
Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a form of skeletal and chondroectodermal dysplasia, occurring with and without systemic involvement. Taurodontism of permanent and primary molars and upper posterior supernumerary teeth are rarely associated with this syndrome. A 5-year-old girl presented with early childhood caries and hypodontia. She had labiogingival adhesion, labiogingival frenulum hypertrophy, accessory labiogingival frenula, and a serrated appearance of the gingiva. She was also short in stature. All major features of chondroectodermal dysplasia were present. EVC syndrome requires multidisciplinary therapeutic planning, and the dentist plays a fundamental role in management of the oral and dental manifestations.Keywords
