Abstract
Moebius syndrome is a rare, congenital neurological disease involving facial paralysis and limitation of eye movements. It results from maldevelopment of the sixth and seventh cranial nerves. Dental features of this syndrome include micrognathia, microstomia, tongue deformity, cleft palate, hypoplasia of the teeth, and congenital missing teeth. A 7-year-old female with Moebius syndrome was referred from a local dental clinic for caries treatment. She presented with facial paralysis and microstomia. Oral findings included multiple caries with enamel hypoplasia, congenital missing teeth, and tongue deformity. Dental treatments including restorative and preventive procedures were performed. Oral findings and management aspects of Moebius syndrome for this case are discussed. Early evaluation and multidisciplinary care are needed for children with Moebius syndrome.
