Abstract

Cranio-dento-facial findings in a case of Noonan syndrome in a 13-year, 3-month-old male are reported. Oral examination of the patient revealed a narrow, high arched palate, malocclusion and congenitally missing teeth. Even though cephalometric measurements showed an increased vertical facial pattern (GoGn/SN = 38.46 degrees ), a severe deep bite (9 mm) was evident. Noonan syndrome is characterized by ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental anomalies, although it is often unrecognized by clinicians. Although differential diagnosis of this syndrome is difficult, the cranio-dento-facial structures show specific findings that can be diagnosed by a dental specialist. The present report describes a new case of this syndrome from a dental viewpoint.
