Abstract

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic neurological disease. The main features are delayed neuropsychological and intellectual development, the absence of language, attention deficit and hyperactivity, movement disorders and tremors with dysmorphic features. The main oral manifestations are diastemas, tongue thrusting, mandibular prognathism, wide mouth, thin upper lip, drooling, atypical swallowing, and chewing problems. The dental literature on the syndrome is rare. The aim of this work is based on the presentation of the case of an AS child who was treated for their dental treatment in the Unit of Oral Health for Children with Disabilities (USBD-D) of the Madrid Health Service (Sermas).
