Abstract
Fanconi anemia is a rare disease, which is characterized by decreased production
of all blood cell types. Fanconi anemia is the most common inherited form of aplastic
anemia. Congenital abnormalities of the eyes, ears, and heart, malformed or absent
kidney, urogenital system involvement are common. There is a delay in physical
development. Intelligence in patients with Fanconi anemia is usually normal. The most
serious problems associated with Fanconi anemia include the gradual development of bone
marrow disorders. Many patients with Fanconi anemia develop leukemia or myelodysplastic
syndrome, as well as other oncological diseases. Oral manifestations in patients with
Fanconi anemia can be classified as gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries, dental
anomalies, soft tissue lesions, oral cancer, and lesions of the tongue. Patients with
Fanconi anemia have increased predisposition to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck and oral cancer. The interdisciplinary team of medical and dental specialists must
be included in the medical and dental treatment of patients with Fanconi anemia. For
proper dental care of patients with Fanconi anemia, the close cooperation of dental
specialists, including orthodontists, pedodontists, prosthetists, oral surgeons, as well
as specialists in periodontology and oral diseases, is of particular
importance.
