- Abstract
Williams syndrome (WS) is a multisystem, congenital and panethnic disorder characterized by developmental and physical abnormalities. Developmental abnormalities in dentition are frequently observed in various patients with craniofacial syndromes, however there are a few reports regarding dental management in patients with WS. The aim of the present report is to describe the case of a 6-year-old child with characteristic facial features of WS with remarkable orofacial findings and the ensuing dental management. An intraoral examination revealed a mixed dentition period, with tooth agenesis and caries requiring treatment such as extraction, restoration and fluoride application. The dental treatment was carried out under local anesthesia and was completed successfully. Since then clinical and radiographic evaluations have been conducted periodically.
