The vast majority of these heritable syndromes have significant expression in the oral-craniofacial complex. This paper describes the minimal qualifications and training needed by postgraduate dentists to function as oral-facial geneticists. The oral-facial geneticist is defined as a human geneticist who has special interest and training in diseases of the oral-facial complex. In addition to patient care and consultation, persons with such training may make important contributions to teaching and research in cranio-facial growth and development.
