Mauriac syndrome is a rare condition that affects people with uncontrolled diabetes. The case history of a 17-year-old female patient diagnosed with Mauriac syndrome and concurrently suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), stunted growth, hepatomegaly, and severe periodontal disease is described. Non-surgical periodontal therapy was the treatment provided. Severe periodontal destruction was seen in conjunction with the unique features of this syndrome, such as hepatomegaly, dwarfism, moon-shaped face, cushingoid fat deposition, delayed puberty, and brittle diabetes. Treatment resulted in decreased plaque and gingival scores. A bi-directional relationship has been established between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease and there is an increasing emphasis on perio-systemic interrelationships. Given the effect that such systemic disorders have on periodontal health, periodontists should be involved in the early diagnosis and treatment of such patients.
