“…However, if the treatment has been commenced after all, it should be taken under consideration that GH replacement therapy affects mandibular growth more than it affects development of maxilla. Also, both the pattern as well as the degree of growth during GH therapy is difficult to predict and GH rarely affects maturation of teeth [2,46,47].…”

The review aims to collect and demonstrate recent knowledge about craniofacial morphology in growth hormone (GH)-deficient children and children with Turner syndrome. The review describes also the effects of growth hormone treatment on craniofacial morphology of children with growth hormone deficiency and Turner syndrome. Regardless of the disorder it accompanies, short stature is associated with similar craniofacial features characteristic of all short-statured children. Characteristic craniofacial features involve lesser dimensions of the cranial base and mandibular length, proportionately smaller posterior than anterior facial height, retrognathic face, and posterior rotation of the mandible. We also analyze orthodontic treatment in children affected by disorders associated with GH deficiency or provided with growth hormone treatment in the aspect of craniofacial growth. Recent publications show also the connection between growth hormone receptor polymorphism and craniofacial growth. Specialists and orthodontists treating short-statured children must be aware of the results of studies on craniofacial morphology and educate themselves on the topic of craniofacial growth in children with short stature. Moreover, knowledge of the influence of GH therapy on growth of craniofacial structures is necessary to decide the proper timing and planning of orthodontic treatment.

“…In general, there is underdevelopment of various facial structures, including flattened (increased) cranial base angle, bi‐maxillary retrusion, high‐arched narrow palate, micrognathia, and class II malocclusion (Ahiko, Baba, Tsuji, Horikawa, & Moriyama, ; Cazzolla et al, ; Svanberg, Norevall, Ekman, Wahlberg, & Bågesund, ). At least one study (Juloski et al, ) reported that GH treatment improved some of these structures.…”

Turner syndrome is recognized now as a syndrome familiar not only to pediatricians and pediatric specialists, medical geneticists, adult endocrinologists, and cardiologists, but also increasingly to primary care providers, internal medicine specialists, obstetricians, and reproductive medicine specialists. In addition, the care of women with Turner syndrome may involve social services, and various educational and neuropsychologic therapies. This article focuses on the recognition and management of Turner syndrome

“…The treatment of these complex patients requires a multidisciplinary approach, associated to early diagnosis and intervention. 28,29 It is clear that this kind of patient requires an accurate anamnesis, a well-timed intervention, a careful dental-periodontal evaluation, good oral health standards, and an appropriate management of the orthodontic strengths in order to reach positive and stable in time results.…”

Aim The aim of this study is to report the case of the orthopedic and orthodontic treatment in a young patient affected by DiGeorge Syndrome and Familial Mediterranean Fever. Case report An 8‐year‐old boy with dysmorphic facial features was brought to our observation. Anamnesis revealed signs of fetal respiratory distress, previous surgically removed subdural hematoma, recurrent episodes of fever, arthralgia, polyserositis, hepatosplenomegaly, chronic interstitial nephritis with hypertension, microprotenuria, normocytic anemia, hyperparathyroidism and secondary amyloidosis. DNA sequencing identified microdeletions on 22q11.2 and MEFV mutation. The patient was in treatment with immunosuppressive agents, colchicine, antihypertensive therapy, calcitriol, erythropoietin, and low‐protein diet. An intraoral and extraoral examination, as well as radiographic and model analysis, were performed in order to define an accurate diagnosis and a proper rehabilitation planning. An orthopedic‐orthodontic treatment was performed and satisfactory final results obtained. Conclusions Literature does not describe cases of patients having DiGeorge syndrome associated to Familial Mediterranean Fever undergoing orthodontic and orthopedic treatment. In this patient an early started treatment with a timely management of orthopedic and orthodontic forces allowed to reach positive and stable results.
