Genetic Syndromes in Dental Practice

This comprehensive, evidence based volume equips clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to diagnose, examine, and plan treatment for patients with genetic disorders affecting orofacial structures. Delivering effective oral healthcare to this population requires mastery of complex craniofacial anomalies and their systemic associations, conditions that frequently present with distinctive structural, functional, and developmental challenges. From the foundations of inheritance and developmental genetics to in depth coverage of syndromes involving gingivodental tissues, orofacial clefts, craniosynostosis, and genodermatoses, this book provides a clear, clinically grounded framework for recognising and managing intricate cases. Readers will also gain insight into the global burden and aetiology of genetic syndromes, associated risk factors, and the rapidly evolving field of facial genetics. Authored by leading experts in genetics, craniofacial surgery, and dental specialities, this richly illustrated and clinically focused text emphasises interdisciplinary collaboration and effective communication across healthcare teams. It is an indispensable resource for dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and allied professionals committed to delivering precise, personalised care to patients with complex genetic conditions.
