[Tooth and jaw development in the Silver-Russel syndrome].

The symptoms of Silver-Russel syndrome are described using two cases. Special attention was paid to the development of the teeth and the jaws. The typical microretrognathism is accompanied by a frontal crowding especially in the lower jaw. It is possible to adjust it to a regular occlusion using functional orthopedic appliances. Noticeable is the high degree of caries in the first dentition. Paramorphiae are not ascertainable. Etiologically, the submucosal cleft palate, which was diagnosed for the first time, would suggest an intrauterine disturbance in the eighth to the tenth week of pregnancy.
