Orofacial malformations encompass several different syndromes. Congenital anomalies can occur in up to 15 % of newborn, and many of these involve the oral, craniofacial, and dental region.

Many attempts of systematic classification were suggested, but none is still universally accepted. The comprehensive management of orofacial syndromes required a staged multidisciplinary approach in dedicated cen- ters with dedicated resources, high patient vol- ume, and strong interest in improving the lives of these complex and challenging patients.

Abstract
Orofacial malformations encompass several different syndromes. Congenital anomalies can occur in up to 15 % of newborn, and many of these involve the oral, craniofacial, and dental region. Finding of a single cranio- facial anomaly at birth may alert to the pres- ence of a complex syndrome. The majority of these syndromes present a frequency ranging from between one in 5600 and one in 100,000. Many attempts of systematic classification were suggested, but none is still universally accepted. The comprehensive management of orofacial syndromes required a staged multidisciplinary approach in dedicated cen- ters with dedicated resources, high patient vol- ume, and strong interest in improving the lives of these complex and challenging patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
