Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare osteosclerotic bone dysplasia characterized by hypocalcemia, short stature, ophthalmological features, and teeth anomalies. The TBCE gene coding for a tubulin-specific chaperone E, is located at chromosome 1q42-q43, and is responsible for the recessive form. After reviewing the literature, we found around 60 cases, however with limited dental data. In this article 5 new individuals with KCS, are described focusing on oral findings. All cases had short roots and showed dental anomalies as hypo/oligodontia, microdontia. Dental anomalies are a constant feature in KCS, further study is required to better delineate the syndrome.
