What Teeth and Gums can tell us about Genetic Syndromes
This lecture will explore rare dental and gingival anomalies and their significance in identifying underlying systemic and genetic conditions. Dr. Kantaputra will highlight recent discoveries, including genes linked to mesiodens and the molecular basis of the world’s smallest and largest teeth. The presentation will emphasize how oral features can offer critical clues to syndromic diagnoses and patient care.
Speaker: Dr. Nik Kantaputra
Dr. Piranit Nik Kantaputra is Professor of Medical Genetics and Director of the Center of Excellence in Medical Genetics Research at Chiang Mai University, Thailand, where he also teaches pediatric dentistry. He has identified over 13 novel genetic syndromes—one of which bears his name—and was the first to discover the gene for isolated tongue-tie. With more than 120 publications, his research focuses on the genetic causes of rare craniofacial and dental syndromes.
