2. Genetic factors play a significant
role in shaping pediatric oral health
outcomes.
INTRODUCTION
Understanding genetic
predispositions can aid in early
diagnosis and tailored
treatment.

environmental factors contribute to cleft
formation.
Genetic counseling and early intervention
are crucial for affected individuals.
CLEFT LIP AND PALATE
5. Genetic influences impact jaw size, tooth
alignment, and malocclusions.
Personalized orthodontic treatment plans
based on genetic factors improve outcomes.
ORTHODONTIC ISSUES
6. Down syndrome and ectodermal
dysplasia affect oral health due to
genetic factors.
Oral manifestations in genetic
syndromes require specialized dental
care.
