 Orofacial muscle hypotonia

 Poor labial seal/open mouth posture (may lead to xerostomia)Figure 2.3.4 (a) Lip fissures. (b) Dental agenesis, microdontia and macroglossia. (c) Severe periodontal disease. (d) Angle class III malocclusion.

 Lip fissures (Figure 2.3.4a)

 Macroglossia or pseudomacroglossia (Figure 2.3.4b)

 Lingual protrusion

 Fissured tongue

 Increased incidence of gag reflex

 Dental agenesis (especially of the maxillary lateral incisors)

 Tooth eruption delayed

 Tooth morphology abnormalities (microdontia, enamel hypoplasia and hypocalcification)

 Low prevalence of caries

 Severe periodontal disease (Figure 2.3.4c)

 Early tooth loss (compromised immune system and teeth with short conical roots lead to early loss of teeth from periodontal disease)

 Bruxism

 Hypoplasia of the middle third of the face, with Angle class III malocclusion and posterior cross‐bite (Figure 2.3.4d)
