Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare hereditary disease that manifests itself in fetal growth retardation during pregnancy, delayed growth after birth, a relatively large head relative to the body, a triangular face shape, a prominent forehead (when viewed in profile), body asymmetry and significant feeding difficulties at a young age. Children with Silver-Russell syndrome have smaller linear facial dimensions and abnormalities in facial proportions, such as a small, retropositioned, and steeply inclined maxilla and mandible, and proportionally greater anterior facial height relative to posterior facial height. The aim of this article is to examine the prevalence of caries lesions in children with Silver-Russell syndrome. The subject of the study were 60 children with Silver-Russell syndrome. The children were divided into three groups, according to age (<6years, 6-12 years, 12-18 years). The prevalence of caries was measured using the dft/dmf (t+T)/ DMFT indices. The prevalence of caries lesions for the children with Silver-Russell syndrome is 4,55±1,86. There is a significant prevalence of D1 and D2 caries lesions in the age group above 12 years old. (p=0.001) For the age group <6 years there is significance in the prevalence of D4 caries lesions.(p=0.007). Children with SRS have a higher prevalence of dental caries as a result from different predisposing factors, which include excessive crowding due to micrognatia, frequent carbohydrate intake due to hypoglycemia. Another reason for increased dental caries prevalence is the deficiency of vitamin D3, which is observed in children with growth hormone deficiency.

“…These obstacles include dental practitioners' inexperience leading to insecurity in care, possible ergonomic limitations stemming from inadequate dental infrastructure conditioning, a deficiency in skills for proper interpersonal communication, or a lack of knowledge among family caregivers regarding the significance of maintaining good oral hygiene. As a result, individuals with disabilities have a higher likelihood of developing oral diseases [ 7 , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ].…”

“…The clinical care of patients with special health care needs should be based on risk assessment, where the general health status is related to the level of collaboration in dental treatment and dental needs. Thereafter, behavior management techniques must be used first, but in the event of failure, GA is an alternative for patients who reject all types of behavior management [8]. GA can be in a lot of situations the best choice of treatment for many special health care needs patients who cannot be treated in any other way [9].…”

Methodology: A systematic search was conducted in four electronic databases PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and SDL. The search was restricted to articles published between 2005 and 2020. Publications reporting on the special health care needs patient’s dental treatment were included. The papers were analyzed regarding title and abstract contents to eliminate the ones that were out of context and not relevant to the review.Results: The search strategy resulted in 99 unique and potentially relevant articles. In total, 6 publications which include 5 retrospective articles and one cross-sectional study were selected.Conclusion: The main standards for selecting patients for hospitalized dental treatments include a full analysis of SNP including their medical history, behavior and emotional factors, oral health status, allergies, social and non-clinical factors, and caregivers’ factors. It is important for general dentists and families of these patients to be acquainted with the procedure, its need, and its contraindications.
