Abstract
Down syndrome (DS) is predominantly caused due to non disjunction of chromosome 21. There is a delay in the way the child develops, either mentally or physically is due to the extra genetic material in these patients. DS is not a disease; however the affected individuals may have a greater risk in acquiring many systemic and oral conditions. The dentition in these individuals exhibit many characteristic anomalies. Regular follow ups and a proper treatment planning is essential for these individuals. The present report discusses a case report of a 5 year old male patient with very characteristic oral features. The review of the literature discusses in detail, on various systemic and oral anomalies, its clinical manifestations, recommendations and dental management for patients with DS.
