Alagille syndrome is an inherited multisystem disorder of autosomal dominant transmission. Its prevalence is estimated at 1 per 70,000 to 100,000 live births. We report the case of a young patient suffering from Alagille syndrome who consulted the center of diagnosis and dental treatment of Rabat - MOROCCO (CCTD). The general manifestations are facial dysmorphia, hepatic, cardiac, and ocular disorders. Hepatic cholestasis causes oral repercussions such as a yellow oral mucosa, hypomineralization of the teeth, and a high tendency to dental caries.
The management of such a patient requires the knowledge of the general health of the patient, therefore collaboration with the attending physicians, the establishment of rigorous oral hygiene, personalized prophylaxis with a consequent contribution of fluorine.
