- <p>Down Syndrome is a common disorder with phenotypes including leukemia, congenital heart defects <br>and Alzheimers disease. It is a chromosomal abnormality which leads to mild to moderate intellectual <br>ailment and this impairment causes dysfunctioning of multiple organs including the orofacial region. <br>The extra genetic material can result in disturbed mental and physical growth of the child. Mental <br>retardation, delayed language and motor development, delay in fetal brain growth, prenatal and postnatal <br>growth deficiency, gastrointestinal malformations, congenital hematologic disorders, and cardiac <br>abnormalities are observed in this disorder. Dental and craniofacial features include brachycephaly, flat <br>occiput, mandibular prognathism and reduction in parotid salivary flow rate. Necrotizing ulcerative <br>gingivitis, periodontal disease and delay in eruption of both deciduous and permanent teeth is observed <br>in this disorder. This article aims to discuss the clinical features and management of a six year old male <br>child showing classical signs of this disorder.</p>
