Abstract
|
|
|
Kabuki syndrome is characterized by typical facial features (elongated palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelid; arched and broad eyebrows; short columella with depressed nasal tip; large, prominent, or cupped ears), minor skeletal anomalies, persistence of fetal fingertip pads, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and postnatal growth deficiency.
A 6-year-old male with kabuki syndrome was referred from the local dental clinic for left facial swelling and dental caries on all primary molars. He was treated for acute periapical abscess with incision and drainage under physical restraint, and left maxillary second primary molar was extracted. Other caries treatment was performed under general anesthesia.
As the syndrome involves many different medical problems, special cares should be considered. Dental treatment should be carried out in comprehensive consultation system.
