Characterized by a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder, Huntington's disease interferes in the ability to move, cognitive interaction and causes behavioral disorders in individuals diagnosed with the disease. Depending on the staging and the degree of neuromotor damage, willingly adhesion to therapeutic procedures such as a dental treatment could be compromised. This study reports the rare case of a 23-year-old male with Huntington's disease diagnosed since 2017. A hospital approach under sedation was required considering the physical limitations and safety for the patient as well as the complexity and extension of the necessary dental procedures.
