Abstract
Because of the medical characteristics of this inheritable disorder, t he treatment of these patients can be fraught with potential pitfalls. Oral manifestations can include taurodontism of the pulp chambers, re trognathia, palatal constriction with attendant posterior crossbite, f rontal tongue posturing, and mouth breathing relating to airway restri ction from choanal atresia. The authors describe their treatment of a patient three years of age with a tracheostomy.
