Oral manifestations of bloch-sulzberger syndrome: Clinical case presentation [Manifestaciones bucales del síndrome de bloch-sulzberger: Presentación de caso clínico]

Abstract

Objective: To identify the general and oral clinical manifestations of Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome to establish an appropriate dental treatment protocol. Method: Descriptive qualitative research through clinical case presentation of a 4-year-old female patient with Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, intraoral evaluation, radiographic analysis, and systematic literature review. Results: The patient presented hypodontia with absence of 9 primary teeth and agenesis of 17 permanent germs, conoid teeth, decreased lower facial third, and loss of vertical dimension. Major and minor Landy-Donna criteria were met without family history. Treatment consisted of space maintainers with expansion screw and prosthetic dental organs. Conclusions: Oral manifestations constitute fundamental diagnostic criteria in Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, requiring early interdisciplinary dental evaluation to optimize patient quality of life.
