Abstract
Progressive hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) is a slowly pr ogressing facial atrophy of subcutaneous fat and the wasting oi associ ated skin, cartilage, and bone. This disorder includes an active progr essive phase (2 to 10 years) followed by a burning out of the atrophic process with subsequent stability. This article presents a review of the literature and a case report with unique dental involvement as a r esult of this disease process.
