Abstract
Craniofacial deformities encompass a wide array of congenital and acquired syndromes of the head, neck, face, and jaws. The care of these complex patients requires a team-based approach with multiple providers, including but not limited to surgeons, pediatricians, and dentists. Understanding normal growth and development of the maxillofacial complex and the deciduous and succedaneous dentition is essential as it has a profound influence on the timing of surgical and nonsurgical interventions. This chapter is designed to introduce the general dentist who practices on the craniofacial team of the basic principles in the care of these patients.
