Abstract
The Apert and Crouzon syndromes are autosomics dominant hereditary alterations where the leading cause lies in the mutation of the receptor gene of fibroblastic growth (refering to it as FGFR) located in the chromosome 10. The mentioned mutation provokes craniofacial anomalies, bony anomalies in hands and feet, skin and teeth such as premature fusions of skull sutures, hypertelorism, exophthalmo, hypoplasia of the maxilla, syndactyly of the hands and feet fingers, acne, dental impactations, mentally retarded eruption, ectopics, supernumerary, overcrowding and treating anterior open bite and anterior and posterior crossbite. The treatment of these patients is multidisciplinary and fundamentally consists in individualizing every case depending of the pathologies that they present.
