Oral Characteristics in Individuals With <i>PTEN</i> Hamartoma Tumour Syndrome
PHTS patients face significant oral health challenges, including compromised dental and periodontal health, prevalent gingival overgrowth, mucosal lesions and a high-arched palate. The findings highlight oral features that may facilitate early recognition of PHTS and reinforce the importance of integrating oral health care into patient management.
