Abstract
|
|
|
|
Prader-will syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder displayed with short stature and behavioral problems. The major manifestation is hyperphagia and obesity but there is no known effective drug that can solve this problem. This article presents a case report of a 3-year 9-month old girl affected with PWS syndrome treated under general anesthesia due to lack of cooperation and multiple caries. The dentist should work as a member of the multidisciplinary medical team. Careful long term follow up is required to prevent dental caries and periodontal diseases as well as maintain good oral hygiene. A strict diet control should also be encouraged.
