Abstract :
Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) is a group of congenital malformations that includes the majority of typical constriction rings and
limb and digital amputations, together with major craniofacial, thoracic, and abdominal malformations. The syndrome is caused
by early rupture of the amniotic sac. Some of the main oral manifestations include micrognathia, hyperdontia, and cleft lip with or
without cleft palate, which is present in 14.6% of patients with this syndrome. The purpose of this report was to describe the clinical
characteristics and the oral treatment provided to a 6-month-old male patient affected with ABS with cleft lip and palate.
