Seventeen patients with a mean age of 7.33 (range 2.7-12.7) years with Rett syndrome (a progressive neurological disorder that occurs mainly in females) were evaluated for oral manifestations and habits. The most frequent habits were digit/hand sucking and/or biting (17/17), bruxism (14/17), mouth breathing (7/17), drooling (5/17), and tongue thrusting (5/17). Gingivitis (13/17) was the most common alteration of soft tissues. Only 2.7% of tooth surfaces were decayed. Nonphysiological dental attrition was present in 71% (12/17) of the children. Palatal shelving could be observed in 53% (9/17) of the children, probably related to the digit/hand sucking and/or biting habits. A high prevalence of anterior open bite (9/17) was observed. No patients exhibited anomalies of tooth number, size, form, structure, or eruption.
