embryo
• mice exhibit ectodermal dysplasia

craniofacial
N
• no substantial craniomaxillofacial deformities are seen
• the lower second molar shows a high incidence of taurodontism with a very large pulp chamber
• the lower first molar is small with only 3 rounded cusps compared to wild-type mice that have 7 deep and well-defined cusps linked by transverse crests
• mice have only two mandibular molars with the third molar missing
• the lower first molar is small
