A syndrome is defined as a group of signs, symptoms and individual characteristics that appears simultaneously in a person or in a group of persons which are otherwise unrelated. According to the literature, it is estimated that approximately one in every 170 births present a syndrome of chromosomal origin globally. The etiology of these remains unknown in 60% of the cases. Syndromes present clinical characteristics at an anatomic, physiologic, and neurologic level that affect different regions, organs, and tissues, including the oral cavity and its associated craniofacial structures. Between 900 and 5000 syndromes of genetic origin were associated with dental, oral, and maxillofacial anomalies. Identify the most frequent oral and craniofacial characteristics that are associated to syndromes. An exhaustive investigation of articles in a medical data base was performed to group these manifestations and easily recognize the frequency with which these appear in patients with different syndromes. A diagram was designed to show the most frequent oral manifestations that are present in 42 diverse syndromes, also are classified in anatomic regions, where the oral region stands out with the largest number of manifestations. It should be highlighted that the odontology has an important role in the management of patients with syndromes and the dentist should have knowledge in this subject because of the frequency with which clinical manifestations appears for the first time in mouth and are recognizable features in a syndrome. All this to create a multidisciplinary management and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
