By the complications that generates, the permanent dentition abnormalities are a major threat to the physical, psychosocial and emotional development of the child. These abnormalities can affect individual physiognomy, and other functions of the maxillary. The objectives of this study was to identify and to compare the abnormalities size of the permanent dentition at both: children from schools (in the Bihor County) and children with Down syndrome. The survey was conducted to identify the size of dental abnormalities. Two groups of children were implied, first group included 566 children from schools, and the second group - consisting of 123 children - with Down syndrome. Results showed that dental abnormalities size had a prevalence of 4.77% among children. In the case of children with Down syndrome, abnormal tooth size showed a prevalence of27.64%. It is obvious that the risk of abnormalities of the size in permanent dentition is greatly increased at children with Down syndrome compared to children belonging to the population without this pathology.
