Diastrophic dysplasia is a rare and nonlethal skeletal dysplasia, autosomal inheritance recessive, recognized by the infant's dysmorphic changes at birth. Diastrophic dysplasia is not a common hereditary disorder, however, the characteristic of this condition and guidelines for dental treatment should be known to a pediatric dentist, particularly at a major medical center.
