Objectives: To describe the oro-facial manifestations and dental management in a girl with Sanjad Sakati syndrome. Clinical presentation and intervention: Facial features included microcephaly, thin lips, beaked nose, low set ears, and a retrognathic mandible. Oral examination revealed oligodontia/hypodontia, small dental arches, high arched palate, and a deep overbite and increased overjet. Oral rehabilitation involved full coverage prosthetic crowns on upper central incisors, stainless steel crowns on lower molars, and removable partial prostheses to replace missing teeth. Conclusion: Recognition of oro-facial features might help in the diagnosis of Sanjad Sakati Syndrome. Dental management of affected patients might be complicated by intellectual, neurological and endocrine abnormalities.
