Hallermann–Streiff syndrome: A concealing and expatiative overview

Abstract

The Hallermann–Streiff syndrome is a congenital disorder classified by distinctive craniofacial malformations and significant orodental abnormalities. In spite of rarity, it is vital to know for a dentist because of involvement of multiple congenital abnormalities chiefly affecting the head and the face. Etiology is unknown in most of the cases but may occur as a result of mutations or changes to the genetic material. Early preventive care protocols, detailed oral hygiene instructions, and regular dental visits are essential for patients with this syndrome.
