Summary:A 6-year-old girl with hemifacial microsomia was examined. Abnormalities found were: severely malformed pinna of the right ear, right malar hypoplasia and unilateral mandibular hypoplasia. Dental examination revealed normal intraoral soft tissues with all deciduous teeth present. Radiographic examination disclosed that the maxillary and mandibular right and left second premolars were not developing. The mandibular ramus was short in length and the mandibular condyle had not developed on the right. The patient had no renal, cardiac or skeletal anomalies and her hearing was normal. No previous publications have been located which report the association of hypodontia and hemifacial microsomia.
