Oral Manifestations in Adolescents with Genetic Syndromes: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Few studies have comprehensively examined dental anomalies in adolescents with genetic syndromes. This study aimed to assess their prevalence, types, and clinical patterns in a diverse sample of genetically confirmed cases. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of 213 patients aged 12 to 18 years with various genetic syndromes, using clinical data originally collected between 2011 and 2014 at a tertiary center.
