Abstract
BACKGROUND Oro-facial digital(OFD) syndrome is a rare anomaly which is often missed out as just cleft lip and palate.It is an X-linked dominant condition with lethality in males. It however results from the pleotropic effect of a morphogenetic impairment affecting almost invariably the mouth, face and digits and it also includes lower IQ and mental retardation. 14 different variations of these syndrome can be seen with the majority of cases of type 1 and 2 based on characteristic clinical manifestations. CASE REPORT Present case report describes a 9 year old girl patient who was mis-diagnosed with partial cleft palate and was later diagnosed as orofacial digital syndrome based on the clinical and oral features. CONCLUSION Not much literature is present regarding this topic and with no relevent family history makes this case a one in a million case of OFD. Therefore, this case report is a complete insight on Oro-facial digital syndrome.

Abstract
Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare, benign congenital anomaly. Notably, it is characterized by the adhesion of the ciliary edges of the upper and lower eyelids at the trabecular line. AFA is usually a solitary malformation of sporadic occurrence; however, it can occur in conjunction with other congenital diseases. Herein, we report a case of cleft lip with AFA. A patient was referred to the ophthalmology department of our hospital. The ophthalmic diagnosis was AFA in both the eyes. The left eye was observed to have a fibrous adhesion in the center, and she underwent surgery to excise the fibrous adhesion of tissue with scissors. The right eye was observed to have a fibrous adhesion in the external canthus and was excised during lip plasty. After surgery, her eyes were able to fully open, and no other apparent disease was diagnosed. AFA is thought to be caused by an ectodermal-derived developmental abnormality. Notably, cases of AFA with a cleft lip are rare. Diagnosis and surgery should be performed promptly to minimize any risk of amblyopia and for the early detection of congenital diseases, including glaucoma.

Abstract
An infant with restricted mouth opening from birth had presented for cleft lip repair. He had an interalveolar gap of 6 mm and was diagnosed as a case of cleft palate lateral synechiae syndrome. Fibreoptic bronchoscope of appropriate size was not available at the time of the procedure, and we had to device an alternative plan. The case describes the common challenges that can arise while anaesthetising infants with this syndrome in a resource-limited setting and highlights the importance of adapting the protocol to the demands.

Abstract
Coronoid process hyperplasia (CPH) is an oral and maxillofacial surgical disease that can result in restricted jaw movement due to an enlarged and elongated mandibular coronoid process. It is characterized by the painless progressive restriction of unilaterally or bilaterally mouth opening. Clinically, unexplained bilateral CPH is less common and therefore often overlooked or misdiagnosed, and coronoidectomy can be very effective on improving mouth opening. Currently, the exact etiology and mechanism of congenital CPH have not yet been fully understood, but it is generally believed to be genetically related. In this paper, the relationship of the congenital mandibular CPH with the related diseases was examined based on cases collected in our clinic and literature review for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with restricted mouth opening associated with CPH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of orofacial clefts (OFCs) in Tennessee over the span of 2000-2017, and evaluate the effects of race/ethnicity, sex, maternal/paternal age and socioeconomic status on the prevalence. METHODS Records of all live births and demographics of newborns in Tennessee from 2000 to 2017 were requested from the Tennessee Department of Health to calculate the prevalence of OFCs. Data from United States Census was also obtained. Data provided were deidentified. RESULTS Tennessee showed a significant decrease in prevalence rates of cleft lip, with and without cleft palate (CL ± P), when comparing the time periods of 2000-2007 to 2008-2017. A significant positive correlation was found with CL ± P prevalence rates in regions with higher Caucasian populations and a negative correlation in regions with higher African American populations. The CP prevalence rates showed a negative correlation with increased median household income. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to show a significant negative correlation with median household income and CP prevalence rates. Our study showing an increase in prevalence rates of OFCs with decreased socioeconomic status indicates that the areas of Tennessee with the lowest median household income averages would likely benefit from understanding other possible modifiable factors that are driving this correlation.

Abstract
Double lip or macrocheilitis is a rare facial anomaly, mostly congenital in origin. It commonly involves the upper lip than the lower lip. It may occur in isolation or as part of the Ascher's syndrome. It results due to deposition of excessive areolar tissue and non-inflammatory hyperplasia of labial mucosa gland of pars villosa. It may be acquired as a result of injury to the lips or lip-biting habit. The double lip becomes conspicuous when the lips are retracted during smiling resulting in the characteristic 'cupid's bow' appearance. This disfigurement can pose aesthetic and functional problems and may result in psychological distress. A surgical intervention is must for restoration of functions and to address the aesthetic concerns. The present article reports a case of non-syndromic double upper lip with triple labial frena and its surgical management with laser on one side and with scalpel on the other side.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this paper is to report a rare case in which two dental anomalies in primary dentition coexisted-fusion and concrescence in a 4-year-old boy. This highlights the significance of the accurate early diagnosis of these dental anomalies. BACKGROUND Odontogenic anomalies are frequently encountered in dental practice. These anomalies can occur due to abnormalities during the differentiation stage and lead to abnormalities in the hard tissue formation. Dental anomalies in number and form include fusion, gemination, and concrescence. CASE DESCRIPTION Primary dentition with fusion between the right central and lateral primary incisors with increased mesiodistal width. Concrescence between the left central and lateral primary incisors with a groove through the incisal edge. Clinical observation along with radiographic evaluation using intraoral periapical (IOPA) radiographs and orthopantomogram (OPG) were used to arrive at a diagnosis. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of concrescence will reduce the risk of possible complications associated with any need of extraction later on. Monitoring the patient and long-term follow-up is required to manage the case with coexisting anomalies of true fusion and acquired concrescence. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE A thorough history taking and clinical and radiographic evaluation of fusion and concrescence at an early stage result in an accurate diagnosis. A careful monitoring plan is a key to reduce the risk of possible complications later on.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mulvihill-Smith syndrome is a rare sporadic condition that was first recognized in 1975. A total of 11 cases have been described in the literature. The aim of this study was to describe the orofacial signs and dental anomalies, their frequency, and the relationship between Mulvihill-Smith syndrome and other progeroid syndromes via a review of the literature. METHODS A systematic PubMed search was performed to retrieve articles published between 1975 and the present day that described patients affected by Mulvihill-Smith syndrome. The search identified 14 articles, and data on 11 patients were extracted from the selected articles. RESULTS A total of 7 patients (63.6%) affected by Mulvihill-Smith syndrome were described as having a typical "bird" face. Dental abnormalities, including irregular shape, enamel defects, hypodontia, and taurodontism, were described in 6 patients (54.5%). All patients (100%) had multiple pigmented nevi on the face and a lack or thinning of subcutaneous tissue around the neck and face. Three patients with Mulvihill-Smith syndrome exhibited early onset of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, including the tongue. CONCLUSION Mulvihill-Smith syndrome is a clinically complex disease that may be caused by a single gene mutation. Numerous different tissues of the body are affected. This analysis of the orofacial signs may help clinicians to diagnose this rare pathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare congenital facial diplegia characterized by partial or complete sixth and seventh cranial nerve palsy. Orofacial manifestations include micrognathia, increased overbite, high arched palate, morphological changes in the tongue, and dental crowding. Case reports and small case series have shown a high prevalence of caries in MS patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of caries between individuals with Moebius syndrome and controls using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). METHODS A total of 90 participants were divided into two groups: (1) the study group, comprising 34 individuals with MS; and (2) the control group, comprising 56 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects without MS. All individuals were evaluated for the presence of caries using the ICDAS. For statistical analysis, different ICDAS scores were used as cutoff points. RESULTS The number of carious lesions in the MS group was higher only for early-stage caries (i.e., ICDAS scores of 1 and 2; 27.0±23.0 versus 16.0±14.1 and 26.3±23.2 versus 15.2±13.6, respectively). CONCLUSION Moebius syndrome patients have more early carious lesions than controls without the syndrome.

Abstract
According to the international and regional and european recommendations exclusive breast feeding for first 6 months of infant's life is the aim to achieve. Advantages of breast feeding and policy of breast feeding promotion were discussed in the article. Immaturity and/or functional disorders of sucking and anatomical disorders of oral cavity such as cleft lip, cleft palate, short frenulum of the tongue, were showed to be the most common causes of breast feeding problems. Proceedings promoting breast feeding in prenature infants according to lactation early stimulation programme for tertiary Neonatal and Obstetrical Units (2014) were also presented. Project of lactation support and help in feeding children with anatomical disorders of oral cavity with pumped mother's milk as well as scheme of introducing supplementary food were proposed.

Abstract
Stickler's syndrome is an autosomal multisystem disorder accompanying characteristic midface hypoplasia, retromicrognathia, and cleft palate. Mandibular hypoplasia causes difficulties in mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation, especially in infants. A 7-month-old girl diagnosed as Stickler's syndrome was scheduled for the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. However, during the direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation, neither the vocal cords nor the epiglottis were visualized. At fifth intubation attempts, the part of the vocal cords was barely visualized, and the tracheal intubation was finaly successful. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the second postoperative day without any complications. Sevoflurane and remifentanil allow faster recovery from anesthesia and both have been recommended for patients with difficult tracheal intubation in a patient such as with Stickler's syndrome.

Abstract
This article is the first known case report of Fraser syndrome in the dental literature. Its purpose was to present the clinical manifestations, oral findings, and dental treatment of a 14-year, 10-month-old female patient. Fraser syndrome is a rare recessive autosomal genetic disorder characterized by multisystemic malformation, usually comprising cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, and renal defects. The child presented with: (1) hydrocephaly; (2) face asymmetry; (3) low-inserted ears; (4) flat nose bridge; (5) cryptophthalmos; (6) bilateral absence of eyeballs; (7) hypertelorism; (8) syndactyly on the left fingers and toes; (9) skeletal defects; and (10) lower limb asymmetry. The intraoral examination revealed: (1) complete primary denture; (2) malocclusion; (3) tooth crowding; (4) ogival palate; (5) normal labial frena; (6) absence of lingual frenum (not compromising the tongue movements); (7) parched lips; (8) supragingival calculus adhered to all tooth surfaces; and (9) moderate gingivitis. The dental treatment consisted of periodic monitoring of the patient's oral health status and supragingival scaling associated with topical applications of 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate gel at 2-week intervals to reduce gingivitis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A girl with polydactyly has had respiratory tract problems, including atelectasis, since birth. She has a high arched palate, a tongue hamartoma and dysmorphic face. Electron microscopy of nasal and bronchial brush biopsies repeatedly revealed centriole/basal body disarray and extreme sparseness of cilia. At the age of 2 years and 11 months, she displayed retardation of both motor and mental skills. CONCLUSION The manifestations tally with a ciliopathy, partly with the Bardet--Biedl syndrome (BBS) but especially with the oralfacialdigital syndrome (OFDS); however, with the addition of persistent respiratory tract problems. As these two syndromes are considered to be due to mutations affecting the centriole/basal body apparatus, the ultrastructural demonstration of disarray of these structures, never before demonstrated in such a patient, is of fundamental interest.

Abstract
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS; OMIM # 180849) is a well-known disorder characterized by mental and growth retardation, broad thumbs and great toes, and unusual facial characteristics. We studied oro-dental findings in a group of RTS patients: 12 from the UK, 2 from Greece, and 26 from France. All were examined by two investigators, using the Diagnosing Dental Defects Database record form to document these. Various oro-dental features were found: small mouth, retrognathia, micrognathia, highly arched and narrow palate, talon cusps, expressed crowding, screwdriver incisors, cross bites, and enamel hypoplasia. Eruption was usually normal. Specific attention for these anomalies should facilitate diagnosis and help adequate management.

Abstract
Congenital malformations of the oral cavity may involve the lips, jaws, hard palate, floor of mouth, and anterior two thirds of the tongue. These malformations may be the product of errors in embryogenesis or the result of intrauterine events disturbing embryonic and fetal growth. This article begins with a review of the pertinent embryologic development of these structures. After reviewing the normal embryology, specific malformations are described. Recommended management follows the brief description of each malformation. An attempt is made to point out where these malformations deviate from normal development. Finally, management recommendations are based on traditional methods and recent advances described in the literature.

Abstract
The cleft lip and palate patient is mainly characterized by the presence of an oronasal communication, malformation or agenesis of the teeth close to the cleft, and deficient sagittal and transverse growth of the maxilla. These patients require various treatments involving a multidisciplinary team, which may include a maxillofacial surgeon, an orthodontist, a speech therapist, a paediatrician, a general dentist, a prosthodontist, an ENT specialist, a psychologist and all those professionals who can help provide functional, aesthetic and psychological improvement. This report describes a case of prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with cleft lip and palate and an oronasal fistula (communication) following surgery. Different prosthetic treatments are described, with emphasis being placed on the approach chosen after to discuss the various limitations which arose.

Abstract
Down syndrome is one of the most frequently encountered and easily recognizable of all developmental disabilities. Patients with Down syndrome exhibit mental retardation and often present with associated medical conditions, such as cardiac defects, immune deficiencies and musculoskeletal disorders. It is important for the dental practitioner to be familiar with the medical aspects of Down syndrome, as well as the potential behavioral issues. We present a brief review of Down syndrome for the dental provider and suggest that with a little knowledge and some patience, most private practitioners can easily accommodate these patients in their practice.

Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) dermatosparaxis type (type VIIC) and the related disease of cattle dermatosparaxis, are recessively inherited connective tissue disorders, caused by a deficient activity of procollagen I N-proteinase, the enzyme that excises the N-terminal propeptide in procollagen type I, type II, and type III. Although well documented in cattle, to date only seven human cases have been recorded, most of them aged under 2 years. We document the natural history of three patients with EDS dermatosparaxis type, two of whom have been reported before the age of 2 years, and one new patient. The phenotype of the patients, and especially the facial resemblance, is striking, making this a clinically recognizable condition. The most consistent anomalies during the first years of life are premature rupture of the membranes, extreme skin fragility and easy bruising, large fontanels, blue sclerae, puffy eyelids, micrognathia, umbilical hernia, and short fingers. Joint hypermobility becomes more important with age. The children are at risk for rupture of internal organs due to soft tissue fragility, as is illustrated by different internal events in two of the three patients described here. Orofacial features include micrognathia, a frontal open bite, and gingival hyperplasia with varying degrees of hyperkeratosis. The deciduous dentition shows abnormal morphology of the molars, obliteration of the tooth pulp, and severe enamel attrition. The permanent dentition shows agenesis and microdontia of several teeth. Tooth discoloration, dysplastic roots, and tooth pulp obliteration are present in a restricted number of permanent teeth.

Abstract
A brother and a sister show very similar clinical features, including sparse hair in the first year of life, prominent nose, small mouth, micrognathia, high arched palate or cleft palate, crumpled upper helices, flexion limitation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the fingers, and mild developmental delay. Their clinical appearance suggests a premature aging phenotype, but is not really compatible with the hitherto known syndromes of that group. The mode of inheritance is likely autosomal recessive.

Abstract
We present a case of midface distraction in a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient. The patient was a 10-year-old who underwent a high LeFort I osteotomy followed by placement of the Rigid External Distraction halo. Distraction was commenced on the fifth postoperative day at a rate of 1 to 1.5 mm per day until a total of 17 mm of maxillary advancement had been achieved. There were no complications and follow up was at 9 months post distraction. Results show that the patient had improved facial aesthetics and dental occlusion which was overcorrected to a Class III relationship. Velopharyngeal function was unaffected. Distraction osteogenesis of the midfacial skeleton in cleft patients offers the possibility to remodel not only the underlying bony skeleton but also all the soft tissues of the face and palate.

Abstract
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a well-known chromosomal disorder attributable to partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p-). Although about 120 cases have been reported so far, there is still very little data on its natural history. Information given to parents at the time of diagnosis tends to be skewed to the extreme negative. To help delineate more thoroughly the natural history of WHS, and to obtain better information to answer parents' questions in a clinical setting, we evaluated 15 patients (12 females, 3 males) in three centers with the 4p- syndrome. Four of the cases had a follow-up spanning 16 years. Thirteen cases were detected by standard cytogenetics (regular G-banding 10, high-resolution banding 3), while the remaining 2 required fluorescence in situ hybridization. A total of 5/15 (33.3%) had heart lesions; 7/15 (46. 6%) had oral facial clefts; 13/15 (86.6%) had a seizure disorder, that tended to disappear with age; and 100% had severe/profound developmental retardation. One Italian patient had sensorineural deafness and 1 Utah patient had a right split hand defect. Of note, 2 Utah patients were able to walk with support (at 4 and 12 years of age, respectively), whereas 3 Italian patients and 1 Utah patient were able to walk unassisted (at 4, 5, 5 years 9 months, and 7 years of age, respectively). Two of the 3 Italian patients also achieved sphincter control (by day). The 8 patients receiving serial electroencephalogram studies showed fairly distinctive abnormalities, usually outlasting seizures. A slow, but constant progress in development was observed in all cases, during the follow-up period. In conclusion, the combined cases of the three centers represent considerable experience, providing new information on several aspects of this important deletion syndrome.

Abstract
We present clinical data on 558 patients with deletions within the DiGeorge syndrome critical region of chromosome 22q11. Twenty-eight percent of the cases where parents had been tested had inherited deletions, with a marked excess of maternally inherited deletions (maternal 61, paternal 18). Eight percent of the patients had died, over half of these within a month of birth and the majority within 6 months. All but one of the deaths were the result of congenital heart disease. Clinically significant immunological problems were very uncommon. Nine percent of patients had cleft palate and 32% had velopharyngeal insufficiency, 60% of patients were hypocalcaemic, 75% of patients had cardiac problems, and 36% of patients who had abdominal ultrasound had a renal abnormality. Sixty-two percent of surviving patients were developmentally normal or had only mild learning problems. The majority of patients were constitutionally small, with 36% of patients below the 3rd centile for either height or weight parameters.

Abstract
A photoanthropometric method, which enables an objective description of facial structures, was used to better delineate the craniofacial characteristics of 29 individuals with Williams syndrome (WS; 18 males and 11 females) between the ages of 0 to 10 years, with an average age of 4.0 years. Facial parameters were measured from strict frontal and profile photographic 35-mm slides and compared with other facial measurements from the same face (e.g., palpebral fissure width to bizygomatic diameter). Sixteen photoanthropometric craniofacial indices were developed from 20 measurements (3 from the frontal face, 2 from the eye region, 3 from the nose region, 2 from the mouth region, 4 from the profile face, and 6 from the ear region). Based on our measurements of 29 Williams syndrome individuals, two parameters (e.g. nose length to midface height and palpebral fissure width to bizygomatic diameter) were outside the normal range when compared with photoanthropometric index standards for age established by Stengel-Rutkowski et al. from white control children. Overall, our data supported a high midface height, broad palpebral fissure width, broad interalar distance, short length of back of nose, prominent ears with long narrow conchae, increased chin height, increased inclination of the ears and a narrow bizygomatic diameter in WS patients. These craniofacial parameters (many not previously evaluated in WS patients) may become useful for early detection, and aid in the diagnosis and study of the development of the characteristic face in Williams syndrome subjects.

Abstract
We report on two boys with oto-palato-digital syndrome type II, characterized by growth retardation, bowed long bones, missing or hypoplastic fibulae, sclerosis of the skull base and wavy, irregular clavicles and ribs. The facial appearance is distinctive due to prominent forehead, widely spaced eyes, antimongologid slant of palpebral fissures, flattened nasal bridge and retrogenia. The mother of one patient showed a mild manifestation of oto-palato-digital syndrome type II. Only about 20 cases of this rare X-linked disorder have been reported so far. The similarities and dissimilarities to oto-palato-digital syndrome type I are discussed.

Abstract
The Brachmann de Lange syndrome (BDLS), first described in its full clinical presentation by Brachmann (1916) and Cornelia de Lange (1933) is a multi-system syndrome involving congenital malformations, growth retardation and neurodevelopmental delay. We describe here twelve Egyptian cases with this syndrome with emphasis on the orodental, ear and eye abnormalities and their relation to the severity of expreseion of the disorder. The crodental anomalies were high arched palate, Iong philtrum, micrognathia, macrostomia hypoplasia of upper anterior teceth, fissured tongue macroglossia. Ear malformations were low-set large ears. Otoscopy revealed normal drum appearance. Audiogram revealed conductive, sensorineural or mixed hearing loss. Ocular manifestations were nystagmus, convergentt squint, enophthalmos, myopia 8 blue scleca. The study emphasizes certain eye, ear and crodental anomalies as diagnostic features of the BDLS which correlate with the severity of expression of the syndrome. None of the cases had chromosomal aberrations and the parental consanguinity rate was not increased thus supporting dominant mutations or minor chromosomal etiology.

Abstract
As part of an ongoing study of 119 patients with the Apert syndrome, extensive data were available for the analysis of oral manifestations, including mouth shape, lip posture, palatal morphology, dental anomalies, and malocclusion. Findings included a characteristic trapezoidal-shaped mouth. Cleft soft palate or bifid uvula was found in approximately 75%. A Byzantine-arch shaped palate was recorded in almost all patients. Dental anomalies included severely delayed eruption, ectopic eruption, and shovel-shaped incisors. Malocclusion tended to be severe with mesial molar occlusion, mandibular overjet, anterior and posterior crossbites, and severe crowding of teeth. The oral manifestations of Apert syndrome are compared and contrasted with those of Crouzon syndrome.

A second table is presented showing the frequency of associated anomalies with orofacial clefting. The wide range of frequencies found in various studies probably reflects the type of ascertainment. Undoubtedly, the process of syndrome delineation will further increase the number of disorders with orofacial clefting in the future.

Abstract
Rett syndrome is a recently discovered, progressive neurological disorder that occurs exclusively in females early in life. Females with this rare and often misdiagnosed clinical entity have unusual but distinctive oral/digital habits. Dentists aware of Rett syndrome and its distinct manifestations will be able to aid in early diagnosis and treatment of those afflicted. A case report of a 4-year, 3-month-old white female with Rett syndrome and review of pertinent literature are presented. The previously reported oral/digital habits and oral manifestations of Rett syndrome are listed along with other unreported oral findings. Many of these oral manifestations are not unique to Rett syndrome. There is a likelihood that they may be related to trauma secondary to the excessive oral/digital habits, poor gait, and seizure activity.
