Abstract

Oro‐dental abnormalities are quite frequent in familial dysautonomia. The practitioner should be familiar with this disorder, which represents a “human model” for chronic progressive orodental denemation. Self‐injurious behavior is caused mainly by profound sensory loss. An appropriate preventive and therapeutic approach that was developed in our clinic and adapted for the special hazards of dentistry in youngsters with systemic autonomic dysfunction may improve the life quality of this particular population.
