Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome: dental management considerations and description of a new oral finding.
Ellis-Van Creveld is a rare syndrome with characteristic dental and orofacial findings. Dental management of patients with Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome can be complicated by the associated skeletal and cardiac abnormalities. Here, we present the dental and orofacial findings in a patient with Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome, describe a new oral finding, and discuss the dental management considerations.
