CRI DU CHAT SYNDROME, DENTAL CHARACTERISTICS: CLINICAL CASE REPORT

Abstract

Cri Du Chat Syndrome is characterized by anomalies that alter the physical and sensory structures of the body, as well as the facial anatomy, affecting everything from the dental structure to oral functions. The dental management of this type of patient is complex. From this analysis, it is possible to identify the particularities of dental treatment in these patients, considering their specific needs and aiming at their quality of life. After understanding the relationships between the syndrome and dental care, it is possible to individualize, improve, and optimize the oral health of patients with this genetic condition. This study aimed to report the dental characteristics associated with Cri Du Chat Syndrome, addressing both its craniofacial characteristics and the implications for dental care. The study was based on the case of a 29-year-old female patient diagnosed with this syndrome, who was treated at the dental clinic of the Multivix University Center, in Vitória, Espírito Santo.
