Abstract:
Foetal alcohol syndrome is a syndrome with a rather high incidence. It is characterized by mental retardation, growth deficiency, a striking facial appearance (a.o. short palpebral fissures, short, upturned nose, hypoplastic philtrum, hypoplastic maxilla). Malocclusion and a disturbed facial growth may occur. Mental retardation can interfere with dental treatment.
