Abstract
Marfan syndrome is the most common dominant autosomal genetic disorder of connective tissue origin. Over the years various diagnostic criteria have been developed for this entity, the earliest among them is the Berlin Nosology, which classifies this condition mainly based on its physical characteristics.Oral manifestations associated with this condition are poorly documented and periodontitis associated with Marfan syndrome is still a controversy.
