Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this article was to describe a case of Robinow syndrome in a pediatric patient. Case Report: Clinically, the patient had frontal bossing, flat facial profile with macrocephaly, midfacial hypoplasia, hypertelorism, wide palpebral fissures, triangular mouth, short upturned nose, short philtrum, ankyloglossia, prolonged retention of primary teeth and abnormal aligment of teeth. The radiographic exams indicated the presence of three impacted permanent supernumerary teeth, agenesis of eight permanent teeth and dental root shortening of all permanent teeth. The treatment proposed was the extraction of all retained primary teeth and the supernumerary teeth, dietary and oral hygiene instructions and orthodontic treatment. Also, important aspects to avoid complications associated with Robinow syndrome were discussed. Conclusion: This case describes uncommon oral findings and some important aspects to avoid complications associated with the Robinow syndrome. Early professional advice, treatment, and periodical follow-ups can improve the quality of life of these patients.
