Özet
Recurrent 16p13.11 microdeletion syndrome is a rare genetic condition with variable clinical manifestations. This report aims to highlight the craniofacial and dental features of a pediatric patient with this syndrome, emphasizing the importance of early dental evaluation in children with genetic disorders. A 7-year-old girl diagnosed with recurrent 16p13.11 microdeletion syndrome, who had no previous dental examination, was evaluated. Clinical and radiographic findings revealed microcephaly, retrognathic maxilla, Class III appearance, oligodontia, delayed tooth eruption, and malformations in crown and root morphology. Dental caries in molars were restored with glass ionomer, compomer, and composite resin. Due to mental retardation and poor cooperation of the patient, removable prosthetic rehabilitation was not planned. Oral hygiene education was provided, and follow-up visits were scheduled. This case underlines the significance of early dental assessment in patients with genetic syndromes and emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary management and long-term follow-up.
