Introduction It is due to single pleiotropic gene Has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth are present. 3/20/2019
Gardner’s Syndrome 3/20/2019
Syndrome consists of: Multiple polyposis of large intestine ( Polyposis:Multiple polyps. i.e. A small growth protruding from mucous membrane) Osteomas of bone,including long bones,skull and jaws. 3/20/2019
3/20/2019 3. Multiple epidermoid or sebaceous cysts of skin (scalp and back )
3/20/2019 4. Impacted supernumerary and permanent teeth ( supernumerary tooth= Additional tooth to the normal set of teeth.)
Why this syndrome is of interest to dental profession? Impacted teeth and osteomas of jaw may lead to early diagnosis of Gardner‘s syndrome. 3/20/2019

Clinical Features 50% of cases Multiple basal cell carcinomas Odontogenic Keratocysts (OKCs) Epidermal cysts of skin Palmar / Plantar pits Enlarged head circumference Rib anomalies ( fused, bifid or partially missing) Mild ocular hypertelorism 3/20/2019
15% to 49% of cases Calcified ovarian fibromas Vertebral anomalies Pectus excavatum Or carinatum 3/20/2019
Histopathology of odontogenic keratocyst 3/20/2019
3/20/2019
Treatment 1 . Avoid sunlight As basal cell carcinomas get triggered by ultraviolet (UV) light Same reason = radiation therapy is contraindicated 2. Jaw cysts are treated in same manner as isolated OKCs 3/20/2019
Why this syndrome is of interest to dental profession? Development of OKCs is most common clinical feature Which may lead to early diagnosis of Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. 3/20/2019
