Abstract(s)
A Trissomia 21 é a desordem cromossómica mais frequente nos humanos, apresentando alterações orofaciais características, assim como maior prevalência de certas patologias orais, tais como a doença periodontal, má oclusão e bruxismo. A afluência destas crianças às consultas de Odontopediatria é cada vez maior, sendo o conhecimento desta síndrome uma necessidade.
Ao contrário da cárie, a doença periodontal apresenta uma elevada prevalência devido às alterações imunológicas. Algumas anomalias orais são frequentemente observadas, tais como as alterações da cronologia de erupção, dentes conóides, diastemas e agenesias dentárias.
O Odontopediatra para além de reconhecer as necessidades de terapias coadjuvantes, assume o papel fundamental ao instruir os responsáveis pela criança a incentivar e melhorar as condições de higiene oral.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar as manifestações e patologias orais mais frequentemente presentes nas crianças portadoras de Trissomia 21, e salientar a importância da atuação do odontopediatra na melhoria da qualidade de vida das mesmas.
Trisomy 21 is the most frequent chromosomal disorder in humans, presenting characteristic orofacial changes, as well as higher prevalence of certain oral pathologies, such as periodontal disease, malocclusion and bruxism. The inflow of these children to Pediatric Dentistry appointments is increasing, and the knowledge of this syndrome is a necessity. Unlike caries, periodontal disease has a high prevalence due to immunological changes. Some oral anomalies are frequently observed, such as changes in eruption chronology, conoid teeth, diastema, and dental agenesis. The Pediatric Dentistry, in addition to recognizing the needs for adjuvant therapies, assumes the fundamental role in instructing those responsible for the child to encourage and improve oral hygiene conditions. This study aims to characterize the manifestations and oral pathologies most frequently present in children with Trisomy 21, and to emphasize the importance of pediatric dentistry in improving their quality of life.
