Abstract
Two brothers from a black family had microcephaly, short stature, and generalized microdontia. Endocrine and chromosome studies were normal, and mild skeletal manifestations were present. The patients may repre sent a distinct dental-skeletal dysplasia, possibly osteodysplastic pr imordial dwarfism type II. Attention to dental manifestations in simil ar cases may be useful for classification. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
