Background:
SRS is classified as a rare syndrome with an estimated incidence of 1 in 30.000/100.000 [Christoforidis A. et al., 2005]. It's a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder that presents a very wide phenotypic range. Due to its heterogeneity, SRS diagnosis is difficult, and the disease is probably underdiagnosed [Eggermann T. et al., 2009].
Case Report:
M., a 7-year-old patient affected by SRS syndrome, comes to the first visit with a history of pain in the upper retroincisive gum due to the deep bite (gingival impingement). The pain prevents the correct chewing during meals and makes the orthodontic treatment necessary.
Conclusion:
The elaboration of a personal orthodontic treatment plan allows the patient to recover the correct masticatory function and improve her facial aesthetic.
