- Apert syndrome and repercussions in Dental MedicinePublication . Paula, Lígia de; Cardoso, Inês LopesApert’s syndrome is a craniosynostosis syndrome caused by mutations in the gene coding for the fibroblast growthfactor receptor 2 (FGFR2), characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and syndactyly of the hands and feet. It has several oral manifestations, such as ogival palate, maxillary transverse and sagittal hypoplasia, dental crowding, eruptive delay and ectopic position of the teeth. The diagnosis of Apert’s syndrome is established in a proband with classic clinical characteristics, and genetic tests can also be performed. Patients with this syndrome often require craniofacial team care and dental, orthodontic and orthognathic surgical management because of their esthetic and functional problems such as Class III malocclusion and midface hypoplasia. The aim of this study is to present a literature review on oral manifestations of Apert’s syndrome and their impact on dental medicine.
- Resposta local à utilização de materiais em pulpotomias de dentes temporários: uma revisão bibliográficaPublication . Brandão, Catarina Chantal Rodrigues; Silva, CristinaA pulpotomia representa uma enorme contribuição para a preservação da dentição primária após o aparecimento de cárie. É o tratamento mais comum para polpas expostas cariadas assintomáticas, que não envolvam a porção radicular da polpa, em molares decíduos. O objetivo deste tratamento é preservar a vitalidade da polpa radicular evitando a perda prematura do dente. Vários materiais têm sido utilizados para este tratamento, mas muitos deles não são extensivamente suportados na literatura, portanto, com este tema é pretendido analisar opiniões de diferentes autores acerca da resposta local de materiais utilizados na pulpotomia, de modo a compreender se existe um material que não induza nenhuma resposta desfavorável ou que seja mais favorável que os outros. No entanto, este tema gera alguma controvérsia. Para a realização desta revisão bibliográfica foi efetuada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados científicas PubMed, B-on e ScienceDirect.
- Gardner Syndrome: complications/manifestations in the oral cavity and their relationship with oral healthPublication . Cardoso, Inês Lopes; Gazelle, AntoineGardner syndrome (GS) is a genetic disease, with autosomal dominant transmission, being a phenotypic variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is manifested by the development of numerous adenomas in the rectum during adolescence, and in most cases, if not identified and treated at an early stage, lead to colorectal cancer. This syndrome has several phenotypic characteristics and among them some changes in the oral cavity. Thus, the dentist has a preponderant role in the detection of lesions that may be present in the oral cavity in order to make possible an early diagnosis of the disease. Some manifestations of GS are observed at the dental level. Around 30 to 75% of GS patients present dental anomalies including dental agenesis, including teeth, delays in teeth eruption, dentigerous cysts, odontomas, supernumerary teeth, root fusion and hypercementosis. It is possible to see a significant difference in the presence of dental problems between patients with GS and the general population. In order to reduce morbidity and mortality, several types of surgery are used to eliminate the risk of colorectal cancer, preserving neighbouring anatomical functions.
