Case report demonstrates emergency endodontic treatment of multiple taurodonts in an adolescent with Morquio A syndrome, highlighting rare dental abnormalities in mucopolysaccharidosis.
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type IV, referred to as Morquio A syndrome (MAS), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an insufficient level in the storage of glycosaminoglycans within lysosomes. Diagnosis generally depends on clinical examination, skeletal radiographs, and histochemical tests. The condition is characterized by prominent skeletal deformities, limited joint mobility, significant growth impairment, abnormalities in tooth alignment, and defects in tooth enamel. The present clinical case report aims to provide details of a MAS case with peculiar dental findings, including multiple taurodonts where emergency dental treatment was rendered.
