Abstract
The sequence of Pierre Robin is described in literature as a triad of anomalies with the clinical characteristics of micrognathia, cleft palate, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction possibly leading to death of newborns. The diagnosis, development, and progress of the disease require the attention of, and treatment by, a multidisciplinary team. In this team, dentistry has a fundamental role. A case report involving the sequence of Pierre Robin was presented. A man with a sequence of Pierre Robin I, presented with a cleft palate, glossoptosis, micrognathia, and airway obstruction. After evaluation by a multidisciplinary team, no other anomalies were noted. He used a nasogastric tube, and when he was 1-year-old, he underwent a palate repair surgery. The dental procedures had been carried out since birth; therefore, the patient is completely rehabilitated.
