Intoduction: Singleton-Merten Syndrome (SMS) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disorder. Characterized by cardiovascular, bone and dental alterations, little discussed in the literature regarding dental treatment. Objective: The aim of this study was to report the case of a patient with SMS, describing her oral aspects and the proposed treatment plan, together with a multidisciplinary team. Case report: During the anamnesis it was found that the patient has alterations due to the syndrome. Clinical, radiographic and tomographic examinations revealed partially edentulous maxilla and mandible, wide resorption of maxillary
bone, in addition to most of the permanent teeth included and with short roots. The multidisciplinary treatment plan included the extraction of teeth with deficient root formation, orthodontic traction of the included upper canines and the making of removable upper and lower partial dentures, for rehabilitation of masticatory, phonetic and aesthetic functions. Conclusion: It is important to emphasize that during dental care of patients with SMS, the previous general state of health should be considered, especially in relation to possible existing cardiovascular complications, and the need for rehabilitation of these patients, since they will present extensive tooth loss.
