Abstract
Pycnodysostosis is a rare genetic disorder, usually diagnosed at an early age. However, the diagnosis is sometimes late, made as a result of bone fracture, given the severe bone fragility resulting from increased bone density.
Oral and maxillofacial manifestations of this disease are characteristic. The head is usually large, the nose beaked, the mandibular angle obtuse, and both maxilla and mandible hypoplastic. Dental abnormalities and impaction are observed.
The case-report reviews the clinical and radiographic characteristics of pycnodysostosis
