    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Genetics
    • Dental Medicine
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Elfin facies syndrome, also known as Williams syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder.
    • It is characterized by a distinct facial appearance, developmental delays, and cardiovascular issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the dental and cephalometric features in three cases of elfin facies syndrome.
    • To highlight the oral anomalies associated with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis of three patients diagnosed with elfin facies syndrome.
    • Detailed dental examinations and cephalometric analyses were performed.

    Main Results:

    • Consistent dental findings included enamel hypoplasia, severe decay, oligodontia, pulp stones, microdontia, and small roots.
    • Cephalometric abnormalities were identified, contributing to the characteristic facial morphology.

    Conclusions:

    • Elfin facies syndrome presents with a spectrum of dental anomalies that require specialized dental care.
    • Cephalometric analysis can aid in understanding the craniofacial characteristics of the syndrome.
