C.H.A.R.G.E. (OMIM 214800) is an acronym referring to the features of this rare syndromic condition. The dental features associated with CHARGE syndrome were supposed on the basis of case-reports, but without a regularity that can lead to the dental condition typical of the CHARGE phenotype. We report the case of a nine-year-old girl with CHARGE syndrome. Patients with CHARGE association should be considered as patients lacking in pathognomonic dental alterations, but the cases reported in literature and the continuous clinical research provide suggestive descriptions, compatible with this type of patients. The present study aimed at analyzing known alterations, suggesting a new possible research area that could confirm the clinical evidences examined in the case discussed here.
