RationaleThe common embryologic neural origin of the ectoderm includes the epidermal layer of the skin and the amelodentinal components of the teeth which can result in numerous diseases damaging both skin and dentition. Three main dental abnormalities were described as a consequence of congenital syphilis: Hutchinson incisors, bud molars, and mulberry molars which usually affect all permanent first molars.Patient ConcernsAs far as we know, this case is the first reported for mulberry second molar in a non-syphilitic patient. Ten projections globular in shape were presented on the occlusal surface of the second mandibular molar.DiagnosesThe findings were characteristic for mulberry molars and therefore diagnosed as mulberry molars.Interventions And OutcomesNo prosthetic treatment was conducted, just topical fluoride application was performed, and periodic observations were scheduled.LessonsIt is recommended that gynecologists and pediatricians should be provided with additional information about the local and systemic factors that can lead to developmental diseases of the teeth.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
