Int J Paediatr Dent. 2003 Jul;13(4):271-3. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-263x.2003.00470.x.

Abstract

Increased tooth size has previously been reported in association with Klinefelter syndrome. However, until now, this observation has been restricted to the permanent dentition. In this paper, we report increased mesio-distal width in the primary incisor and molar teeth of a 47,XXY male.
