title: Freeman-Sheldon syndrome: dental and orthodontic implications.
abstract: The manifestations of the Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) in four members of a South African family of Xhosa stock have been documented. Orofacial manifestations are a major syndromic component and warrant early, specialized orthodontic intervention. Our protocol for dental management is outlined and suggestions for holistic oro-dental care are provided.
