American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Practice Exam

Apert syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis and syndactyly. It is associated with a variety of dental anomalies, including the presence of supernumerary teeth and delayed tooth eruption. The mutations typically found in this condition affect the FGF receptor genes, influencing both bone and dental development.

Individuals with Apert syndrome may exhibit a range of dental complications due to the unusual development of their oral and maxillofacial structures. Supernumerary teeth, which are additional teeth beyond the normal complement, are a notable feature. This can complicate the eruption sequence of normal teeth, leading to delays in their emergence into the oral cavity. Moreover, the altered dental arch form and jaw relationships resulting from craniosynostosis can further affect tooth eruption patterns.

While other conditions listed may also involve dental anomalies, none explicitly connect both supernumerary teeth and delayed tooth eruption as directly as Apert syndrome does. This makes Apert syndrome the most appropriate answer in this context.
