Dental and craniofacial anomalies associated with Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome

Abstract

Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder with genetic and morphologic variability and characterized by ocular and nonocular clinical findings. Midface hypoplasia and maxillary hypodontia are classical presenting features of this syndrome. This case report describes a dental condition, immediate treatment required and a long-term treatment approach toward a patient 5-year-of-age with ARS, who presented with significant ocular and dental anomalies.
