Care and dental integrality in carriers of down syndrome
The objective is to report a 12-year-old male pediatric dental patient who is attended in the dental care service for patients with special needs. He was a heart patient and a carrier of Down syndrome, presenting aggressiveness and endurance on the dental attendance. His problem was a toothache; however, the clinical examination verified mixed dentition, periodontal disease, high incidence of dental caries, malocclusion, staining on teeth, mouth breathing, narrow palate, and macroglossia.
