Dental characteristics include premature loss of primary teeth, enlarged pulp chambers, and enamel hypoplasia. Although enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alfa was approved in 2015, there are few reports about the dental outcomes of this treatment.

The mixed dentition stage is a vital period characterized by significant physiological changes, including jaw growth, the development and eruption of permanent teeth, the exfoliation of primary teeth, and the maturation of surrounding soft tissues. These processes collectively ensure functional, esthetic, and stable occlusion. Disruptions during this stage, such as the premature loss of deciduous teeth, can lead to spacing or crowding issues and affect the dental arch length and the position of permanent teeth.

Periodontitis (PD) is a pathological condition that results in chronic swelling in the tissue around a tooth, which results in advanced periodontal structural injury to the encircling soft and hard tissues with eventual exfoliation and movement of teeth. It affects around 60% of the world's population, indicating a relatively high prevalence. Therefore, the discovery of efficient therapeutic interventions for dental disorders is a primary goal of the health sciences, and periodontitis is a significant public health problem.

Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) also have an impact on the quality of life of an individual.

Objective: Fanconi anemia (FA), a rare genetic disorder, has not been comprehensively studied regarding its dental and craniofacial phenotypes. This study aimed to systematically review the available evidence on dental, occlusion, and craniofacial anomalies in individuals with FA and to describe the occurrence of these anomalies in a cohort from two Brazilian referral centers.
Materials And Methods: Electronic searches were conducted across six databases, supplemented by manual searches and gray literature.
