Abstract (EN):
This study presents two clinical cases in which a more detailed evaluation of the fetal face by ultrasound was proposed. These cases were integrated into a study group for determining the growth patterns of different facial structures and, consequently, to detect potential anomalies that could support an early prenatal diagnosis of facial anomalies. The identification of a dysmorphic craniofacial phenotype by prenatal ultrasound may assist in the future the dentist in the postnatal application of therapies that may improve the existent physical disabilities.
