Abstract
The manifestations of the Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) in four members of a South African fam-ily of Xhosa stock have been documented. Orofacial manifestations are a major syndromic compo-nent and warrant early, specialized orthodontic intervention. Our protocol for dental management is outlined and suggestions for holistic oro-dental care are provided.
