ABSTRACT Rubinstein Taybi syndrome has a genetic origin in the chromosome 16. It has physical characteristics, delay in physical and mental development, and may present oral alterations. This paper aims to report a case of prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with syndrome who, due to dental trauma, lost dental elements early. Female patient, 4 years and 7 months old, with loss of the deciduous maxillary central incisors. The data collection was carried out through anamnesis, clinical and complementary exams. After the diagnosis and the establishment of the treatment plan, we made a Denari type prosthesis. It has a tube-bar mechanism that allows maxillary growth and development. At the end of treatment, the caregiver was instructed to make periodic visits to the dentist for clinical and radiographic follow-up of the prosthesis, as well as the need for treatment with the speech therapist. The loss of anterior deciduous teeth can be associated with trauma in this region and the dental absence can affect the development and behavior of children, promoting a change in daily life and impacting the quality of life of the whole family. The Denari prosthesis is a viable treatment option for children with this syndrome, as it accompanies the maxillary growth, restores the functions of the stomatognathic system, prevents deleterious oral habits and helps with phonetics. It is necessary for the dentist to be able to offer the best treatment for these patients, as the syndrome makes it difficult, but does not impede its execution. RESUMO A Síndrome de Rubinstein Taybi tem origem genética no cromossomo 16. O paciente com essas condições apresenta características físicas, atraso no desenvolvimento físico e mental podendo apresentar alterações bucais. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar um caso de reabilitação protética de um paciente com a síndrome que, devido a traumatismo dentário, perdeu precocemente elementos dentários. Paciente do sexo feminino, 4 anos e 7 meses de idade, com ausência dos incisivos centrais superiores decíduos. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de anamnese, exames clínico e complementares. Após o diagnóstico e estabelecimento do plano de tratamento, foi confeccionada uma prótese do tipo Denari. A mesma possui um mecanismo tubo barra que permite o crescimento e o desenvolvimento maxilar. Ao término do tratamento, a responsável foi orientada a fazer visitas periódicas ao cirurgião-dentista para acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico
