title: Gardner's Syndrome revisited: a clinical case and overview of the literature.
abstract: Gardner's syndrome (GS), a variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), remains a life-threatening condition of significant dental relevance. Clinicians can play an important role in the identification of this condition as the dental manifestations often precede the development of intestinal polyposis. This article describes a clinical case in which identification of the dental features of GS during routine orthodontic assessment resulted in the early diagnosis of this condition, which was previously unrecognised in a young female patient.
