ABSTRACT

Introduction: Fanconi Anaemia (FA) is a very rare genetic disease characterised by genetic alterations, which causes con- genital abnormalities in individuals. This clinical case report of Fanconi anaemia, will review classical signs of the disease in detail. The various aspects of this rare condition are examined, with an emphasis on oral manifestations and their impact on af- fected patients overall health. Since this group is more likely to acquire cancers, paediatric dentists must be aware of common oral symptoms and possibly malignant lesions in order to make an early diagnosis and provide thorough care and maintenance of oral health to those who are affected. Case Presentation: A four-year-old female patient was brought by her parents to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Yenepoya Dental college, with a chief complaint of pain in the upper back tooth region. The child had already been diagnosed with FA. Conclusion: Patients with FA are more prone to get infections, so proper precautions should be taken to avoid any situation that might put them at risk of infection or bleeding. Patients should be motivated to have regular follow-ups and encourage them to maintain good periodontal health, to help prevent the incidence of caries and to monitor their overall oral wellbeing.
