Abstract: Background Patients with Down syndrome (DS) present functional and anatomical alterations that may negatively impact their health and quality of life. Down syndrome patients have been shown to have a high prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but little is known about the diagnosis, treatment and prevention in these individuals. Objective To evaluate the impact of a home‐based multidisciplinary programme on muscular TMD in DS adults. Methods After being diagnosed with TMD‐related masticatory muscle d… Show more

“…Down syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal anomaly caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in pair 21, which was originally described by John Langdon Haydon Down in 1866 [ 1 ]. This genetic disorder is associated with mental impairment at many levels, as well as with disruptions in dentofacial aesthetics and dysfunctions of the masticatory organ that may negatively impact the health and quality of life of DS patients [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. As a consequence, individuals with Down syndrome constitute a group of patients with special oral health needs.…”
