The diagnosis is made through clinical analysis looking for characteristics and to prove this suspicion, a technique called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is required. Objective: The aim of this case report is to be the first to describe the planning and execution of dental treatment for a 5yearold female patient with SMS under general anesthesia. Case report: The patient was admitted to the clinic of the Universidade Federal Fluminense, with possible dental pain, in the anamnesis the need for invasive treatment was observed in many dental elements and due to the patient’s behavioral pattern, treatment under general anesthesia was chosen.
