Physical Findings

That the speech clinician can play an important role in the identification and referral of clients with certain syndromes is exemplified in this case report. Speech and structural deviations in a client seen in the Osseo, Minnesota, Public Schools prompted referral to the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Although the structural deviations were of minimal significance for speech production, the combination of physical findings led to the diagnosis of a rare syndrome of oligodontia, taurodontism, and facial features of ectodermal dysplasia. The dental and genetic significance of these findings are discussed.

Age Range

Prescription opioid medications continue to be abused on an epidemic level and have been shown to be a “gateway” drug to heroin abuse. Individuals experimenting with opioids commonly fall in the 10- to 19-year age range in which dentists are the highest prescribers. To reduce the number of excess opioids, the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Minnesota, developed and implemented an evidence-based opioid prescribing policy. Data were collected via electronic health record for the previous year and compared with the year following the protocol implementation. The results showed a drastic decrease (>46%) in the number of prescriptions given over a 1-year period. All departments reported a decrease in opioid prescriptions and the average number of tablets per prescription. The concern of undertreating pain was not found to be significant, as there was no increase in after-hours calls, recall appointments, or documentable emergency room visits. The results support the efficacy of an opioid prescribing policy's ability to lower the frequency and number of opioids given to patients, while still adequately treating patients’ pain. Continued evaluation and modifications of the protocol and close monitoring of prescriber habits will enhance patients’ pain control while also limiting the number of opioids available for abuse.

Abstract Ectodermal dysplasias are a large group of disorders characterized by developmental dystrophies of one or more ectodermal structures. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genodermatosis associated with abnormal development of sweat glands, teeth, and hair. Its incidence is 1:100.000 newborns. The full expression of X-recessive forms are only seen in males, while female heterozygotes are moderately or very slightly affected. The disease is characterized by sparse hair, oligodontia, and reduced or absent sweeting, light hair, distinctive facial features, palmoplantar keratoderma. We report an 11-year-old boy with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Despite extensive skin, teeth and hair manifestations, his physical and psychomotor growth and development were normal.

AbstractOur studies of the teeth and faces of Australian twins commenced at the School of Dentistry, The University of Adelaide in the early 1980s. There are now over 900 pairs of twins enrolled in our continuing investigations, together with 1200 relatives. There are 3 main cohorts of participants. The first cohort comprises around 300 pairs of teenage twins for whom various records have been collected, including dental casts, facial photographs, finger and palm prints and information on laterality, including handedness. The second cohort comprises around 300 pairs of twins who have been examined at 3 stages of dental development from approximately 4 years of age to about 14 years: at primary, mixed, and permanent dentition (excluding 3rd molars) stages. The most recent study of tooth emergence and oral health, for which we are currently recruiting twins, will provide a third cohort of around 500 twin pairs aged from around birth to 3 to 4 years of age. Our broad aim in these studies has been to improve our understanding of how genetic and environmental factors contribute to variation in dental and facial features, and to oral health. We have also used our data to investigate aspects of the determination of laterality, particularly the fascinating phenomenon of mirror imaging. We plan to maximize the use of the longitudinal data and DNA we have collected, and continue to collect, by performing genome-wide scans for putative genetic linkage peaks for a range of dental features, and then to test for association between a series of likely candidate genes and our phenotypes.

Aim: Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disease that arises from a developmental disorder of 2 or more ectoderm-derived tissues. Ectodermal dysplasia is seen in 3 different types: anhidrotic, hypohidrotic, and hidrotic. Its anhidrotic and hypohidrotic types are the most common. This study presents the intraoral findings and dental treatment approach of a case diagnosed with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia that demonstrates the typical characteristics of the disease, such as anodontia, hypohydrosis (reduced sweating), hypotrichosis (sparse hair), and loss of vertical dimension. Methodology: A 5-year-old male patient presented to the clinic of the Prosthetic Dental Treatment Department of the School of Dentistry at Dicle University on 25.10.2020 with complaint of missing teeth. A genetic analysis conducted in 2016 showed that he was a homozygous carrier of the p.Cys148Arg (c.442 T>C) mutation on the 5th exon of the ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) gene. The mutation detected in the patient was associated with ectodermal dysplasia. An extraoral clinical examination revealed sparse hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes; soft, smooth, and dry skin; thin, linear wrinkles around the eyes and the lips; drooping, thickened lips; a sunken nose; fractured nails; hyperthermia due to lack of sweat glands; hyperkeratosis in the skin and soles of the feet; 2 nipples on one side of the chest; and reduced vertical facial height. An intraoral examination revealed anodontia; there were no teeth on the maxilla or the mandible and no radiographically identified tooth germ. Dry mouth due to a lack of sufficient saliva was another finding. Conclusion: In this case report, in the presence of anodontia, a removable total prosthesis, which is a non-invasive treatment option, was applied. Production of endosseous implants was postponed for a later time following the patient’s growth and development.   How to cite this article: Gökçe D, Ayna E, Seyfioğlu Polat Z.
