Abstract
Thirty-eight patients with neurofibromatosis were examined clinically and radiographically for manifestations of the disease in the head and neck region. Ninety-two percent of the sample had at least one intraoral or radiographic sign of the disease. This suggests that the incidence of jaw and skull involvement in neurofibromatosis may be greater than previously reported in the literature.
