dc.description.abstractMarfan syndrome (MS) is a disorder of the connective tissues characterised by various phenotypical and genetic manifestations. About 75% of the time, the condition is inherited from a parent, whereas 25% of the time, it is a new mutation. It involves a mutation to the gene that makes fibrillin. People with Marfan tend to be tall and thin, with long arms, legs, fingers and toes. They also typically have long face, prognathic maxilla, high arched palate, irregularly aligned teeth, flexible joints and scoliosis. The most serious complications involve the heart and aorta with an increased risk of mitral valve prolapse and aortic aneurysm. Other commonly affected areas include the lungs, eyes, bones and the covering of the spinal cord. Here, we report a case of Marfans syndrome with focus on oral manifestations to increase the awareness among dental practitioners to avoid complications due to infective carditis and cardiac defects.en_US
