title: Hallermann-Streiff syndrome patient treated with removable prosthesis: a clinical report.
abstract: Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by bird-like facies and dental anomalies.

The treatment was satisfactory in terms of both esthetics and phonetics, excluding the need for aggressive surgical treatment.
