  • Title: [Oral and maxillofacial manifestations of familial adenomatosis polyposis. Gardner's syndrome].
    Author: Wijn MA, Keller JJ, Brand HS.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2005 Sep; 112(9):340-4. PubMed ID: 16184913.
    Abstract:
    Patients suffering from familial adenomatosis polyposis develop multiple pre-malignant gastrointestinal polyps and are at high risk of developing colon cancer. In addition extra-intestinal manifestations are observed frequently. The combination of extra-intestinal manifestations and familial adenomatosis polyposis is named Gardner's syndrome. An early diagnosis of this disease is important because it could mean a better prognosis for the patient. This review describes the oral and maxillofacial symptoms of FAP, and its potential implications for dental treatment.
