Abstract

Syndromes affecting craniofacial and dental structures account for one-third of the congenital anomalies. Early diagnosis and treatment guided by an interdisciplinary team are of vital importance not only for an optimal outcome but also because these syndromes are associated often with life-threatening conditions. However, the affected craniofacial structures isolated or as part of a syndrome might not be identified early, especially in patients with unknown family history. Many craniofacial malformations and cognitive phenotypes are apparent only after the first years of life.

Moreover, the treatment of these patients is often complicated due to a lack of treatment guidelines and adequate medical knowledge. The role of the team is essential for the prevention, early diagnosis, and guidance for proper function and craniofacial development. Consideration of the patient’s developmental variations, deep phenotyping, and long-term clinical evaluation will assist in unraveling the phenotype-genotype correlations and further in an early diagnosis.

Despite knowledge gaps and lack of consensus in terminology and diagnostic criteria, this chapter aims to provide an update on the pathogenesis, general phenotypes, and oral and craniofacial manifestations for early diagnosis and clinical management. Furthermore, its goal is to promote interaction of the interdisciplinary team for a customized, intergraded, long-term treatment planning of these patients.
