ABSTRACT Crouzon Syndrome is a rare genetic disease that affects craniofacial development resulting in various manifestations in the head and neck region. This article aimed to report a clinical case of a patient with Crouzon Syndrome, highlighting the relevant implications for dental care. The clinical, radiological aspects and dental treatment performed were evaluated. The dentist plays a fundamental role in the oral rehabilitation of these patients, promoting improvements in aesthetics and quality of life. This study provided insights into the management of the condition in the dental context, considering clinical, radiographic aspects and recommended treatments. Understanding these oral manifestations and their implications seems to be essential to offering adequate care and improving the quality of life of patients with CS.
