Abstract
Silver-Russel syndrome is characterized by delayed intrauterine growth and clinically shows facial asymmetry and developmental and speech delay. The present study reports a clinic case of a Silver-Russel syndrome carrier and confirms the importance of early dental treatment in these patients. This case is a 12-year-old male patient who attended the dental service for patients with special needs. The patient was short and malnourished; had digestive problems and difficulty sucking and swallowing; and shortening of the fifth finger and presented café au lait spots on the dorsal region. Intraoral examination revealed a narrow palate, delayed tooth eruption, extensive caries lesions, and malocclusion. A panoramic x-ray was taken and revealed crown development of teeth 18, 28, 38, and 48; rhizogenesis; physiological root resorption in teeth 55, 65, and 75; and taurodontism in teeth 17, 27, 37, and 47. This patient now is under medical supervision.
