Abstract
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a congenital craniofacial anomaly inherited as an autosomal dominant condition affects both sexes equally with wide variable deformities. The purpose of this study was to highlight the dental and oral malformations associated with this syndrome. A total of eight cases diagnosed to had the syndrome according to minimal obligatory criteria which are malar hypoplasia and downward slanting palpebral fissures were included in the study. Patients’ data were recorded in special formula in addition to oral and dental deformities. Seven patients were males one female their age ranged from 10 to 23 years with normal mental status. All patients showed downward slating palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia .Four patients showed lower eyelid coloboma while six patients (75%) have partial absence of the eyelashes. Oral findings were high arched palate in all cases, malocclusion in 6 cases (75%) and macrostomisa in 4 cases (50%) while multiple impactions of the teeth were detected in four patients. Cleft palate was detected in one case. Dental and oral anomalies associated with this syndrome should be considered in the treatment plan as soon as possible this will improve the quality of the life of the patients and decrease syndrome complications.
