The general population expects dentists to be well-versed in the typical and atypical orofacial characteristics of all potential patients. As a result, dentists must possess a reasonable amount of knowledge concerning the physical and intraoral traits associated with developmental disorders such as those associated with Robinow syndrome, Cockayne syndrome, and Pfeiffer syndrome. None of the physical, neurological, or oral anomalies discussed in this column present insurmountable barriers to providing dental care. Dental techniques and procedures performed on patients with any of these syndromes will be identical or very similar to those done on any other patient.
普通民众期望牙医精通所有潜在患者的典型和非典型口腔面部特征。因此,牙医必须具备一定量关于与发育障碍相关的身体和口腔内特征的知识,比如与罗宾诺综合征、科凯恩综合征和 Pfeiffer 综合征相关的特征。本专栏所讨论的身体、神经或口腔异常情况,都不会对提供牙科护理造成不可逾越的障碍。对患有这些综合征中任何一种的患者所进行的牙科技术和操作,将与对任何其他患者进行的技术和操作相同或非常相似。
