Abstract

Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia is a rare genetic disorder with an incidence of 3-6 cases per one million births. It is characterized by short long bones, cupping of metaphyses and phalanges, and many other variable components. There are over 100 types of identified metaphyseal dysplasia targeting various genes, and many more that are unidentified. This case report describes oral rehabilitation of a 4-year-old child with an unknown type of metaphyseal dysplasia with dental involvement.
