Abstract EN
Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia, is a complex genetic disorder caused by the mutation of particular genes, characterized by dwarfism, polydactyly, abnormal nail structure, and dental malformations.
Dental manifestations include enamel hypoplasia and hypodontia.
Patients with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome may also have heart defects that would require specific diagnostic tools.
The exact prevalence of this disorder remains poorly investigated because most risk groups are the Amish population, who refuse to share personal information voluntarily.
We hereby present a case report of an eighteen-year-old young woman who presented with the chief complaint of poor appearance of teeth.
The medical history includes ventricular hypertrophy and epilepsy.
The patient had mandibular natal teeth that were removed.
The first line of treatment was offered when the girl was seven, and standard check-ups and orthodontic manipulations were made within the last ten years.
Overall, this case proves the importance of radiographic and physical examination, along with the multidisciplinary cooperation of dentists, surgeons, orthodontists, anesthetists, and cardiologists.
