Premature tooth loss is a disastrous situation that affects deciduous or permanent teeth era with different causes. It may be attributed to some disorders like Papillon-Lefevre syndrome or coffin-lowry syndrome but because of ambiguous nature, precise diagnosis is not easily possible. Moreover, it has very low incidence and defines by few and limited case series, with vague characters to some extent, confusion in detecting the right diagnosis is a common possibility. Hence, it is expectable to have a wrong diagnosis for this case. In this study, a 5-yr-old boy with chief complaint of early tooth loss despite having blindness in left eye and palmar keratosis is reported, although he had some other manifestation of oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) like ataxia, dysarthria and nail deformity, ignoring other extra and intra oral finding. He was diagnosed as Papillon-Lefevre syndrome already, just because of early tooth loss and palmar keratosis.
