Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has been associated with several genetic defects and may present concurrently with craniofacial manifestations. The dental patient with TOF may require some changes in the treatment plan. The aim of the present case report is to show that dental extractions can be carried out in TOF individuals under local anaesthesia, since the correct planning is done. Five supernumerary teeth were extracted in adolescent with TOF and antibiotic prophylaxis was performed to avoid infective endocarditis. The patient returned for re-evaluation on the 7th postoperative day. He reported that there had been no discomfort or difficulty in eating. An oral examination confirmed that all extraction sites were healing well, without any indication of infection.
