Non Syndromic Isolated Commissural Lip Pit - Case Report
Hady Ghazwani, Maram Darraj, Khurshid Mattoo

Lips essentially represent a valve structure like other body valves, in that they are like a spring (fixed at one while free at the other end) that control the opening of the oral cavity. Developmental anomalies of lip often are not grossly disfiguring and most of them present as anomalies that are difficult to identify. Commisural lip pits (CLP) are basically mucosal invaginations which are usually found associated with syndromes like popliteal pterygium syndrome or Van der Woude syndrome. We present a male patient aged 43 years who reported for restoration of endodontic treated teeth in relation to maxillary right posterior teeth. Routine examination revealed the presence of commissural pit that was about 4 mm deep. No discharge was reported by the patient. A physician ruled out the existence of any skeletal, cardiovascular or genital signs or symptoms to rule out syndrome. Porcelain fused to metal crowns, were cemented on the endodontically treated teeth. Key words: Vander Woude syndrome, popliteal pterygium syndrome, oral-facial-digital syndrome, porcelain.
