Abstract
Thrombocytopenia Absent Radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia and bilateral absence of radii with both thumbs present. Multiple organ systems may be affected in patients with TAR syndrome, including hematologic, skeletal, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. This article describes a 35-year-old Caucasian male with TAR syndrome receiving comprehensive dental care and reviews the pertinent aspects of this disease, as well as dental management considerations, for patients with TAR syndrome.
