Cuspid gigantism or radicomegaly is a rare occurrence often associatedwith a hereditary, X-linked condition, called oculo-cardio-facio-dental (OFCD)syndrome. This syndrome is also characterized by atrial septal defects and/orventricular septal defects, congenital cataracts and unusual facial characteristics.Confirmation of this syndrome is often provided by dentists or orthodontistswhen they diagnose an extremely large canine root length from the panoramicradiograph. The following case report shows a multidisciplinary approach tothe dental treatment of a patient with OFCD syndrome and a canine-first premolartransposition. The orthodontic approach required a mini-plate to achieve significantmesial movement of a gigantic maxillary canine that erupted in close contactwith the first molar. |
