Inclusion criteria consisted of individuals aged 6 to 40 years with a confirmed diagnosis of a rare syndrome. Exclusion criteria encompassed individuals with cognitive impairments that hindered self-reporting, those with severe medical conditions precluding dental treatment, and participants who did not provide informed consent
Results: A total of 120 participants diagnosed with rare syndromes were included in the study. The age distribution ranged from 6 to 40 years, with a mean age of 22.8 ± 8.6 years. The gender distribution included 62 males (51.7%) and 58 females (48.3%)
Conclusion: It is concluded that this study highlights the transformative impact of tailored dental treatment interventions on the quality of life of individuals with rare syndromes. Addressing dental anomalies through multidisciplinary collaboration can alleviate functional limitations, pain, and psychosocial challenges, ultimately enhancing overall well-being.
