Abstrakt: Background: Kartagener syndrome (KS) is recognized as an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a combination of chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and situs inversus. It affects one in 12,500-50,000 live births worldwide.
Aim: This paper aims to discuss the dental management of patients diagnosed with KS.
Case Report: A 31-year-old male with KS manifests by impaired cilia motility which increases the risk of a frequent lung infection. The dental examination revealed that the patient required comprehensive oral hygiene care which included patient education and nonsurgical periodontal therapy under local anesthesia.
Conclusions: Dental care providers should ask affected patients with KS about their signs and symptoms of cardiac and pulmonary disease and seek consultation with their attending physician regarding these health concerns before the initiation of general anesthesia and perhaps conscious sedation administration. Patients with KS with emerging cardiac and/or respiratory impairment should be referred promptly for medical assessment.
