 Objective: Oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome is a rare condition with ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental disorders. The purpose of this report is to describe three Japanese female patients by using facial measurements, tooth measurements, and cephalometric analysis.Design: Facial measurements, tooth measurements, and the results of cephalometric analyses were compared with Japanese standards using panoramic roentgenograms, dental casts, and lateral cephalograms. Results: A long face and thick upper and lower lips were noted for all cases from facial measurements, and a long crown length and long dental root were noted for all cases from tooth measurements. Relative mandibular protrusion and a large anterior lower facial height, accompanied by a steep mandible and large gonial angle, were seen from the cephalometric analyses. Conclusions: The results of a long face and long dental root were in accordance with previous reports. In addition, thick upper and lower lips, relative mandibular protrusion, large anterior lower facial height accompanied by a steep mandible, and a large gonial angle may be characterized as specific features of this syndrome.
