The high prevalence of non-carious manifestations in patients with celiac disease is described by numerous authors, who are considered as a diagnostic key to atypical forms of celiac disease. The manifestations closely associated with celiac disease include: defects in tooth enamel, pathological tooth abrasion, as a violation of the mineralization of dental crowns, and morphofunctional defects in the hard tissues of the teeth.Materials and methods. We examined 45 patients aged 23 to 36 years with a diagnosis of celiac disease, established on the basis of the results of clinical anamnestic, genetic, instrumental studies, morphological study of a biopsy specimen of the intestinal mucosa.Result. Examination of the dentition of the patients showed that 100% of the examined had pathological abrasion of tooth enamel. Crowded teeth were found in 32 patients. Partial symmetric congenital adentia was diagnosed in 5 patients.Conclusion. The revealed dentoalveolar anomalies can be attributed to oral manifestations of celiac disease, which is a diagnostic criterion for suspected disease.

Relevance. The high prevalence of dysplastic disorders involving connective tissue, and its negative effecton the development of dentoalveolar anomalies, carious and non-carious lesions of the teeth, periodontopathy, temporomandibular joint issues in the child population, lay the basis for improving diagnostics algorithms. Enhancing the already available standards is of greatest importance for children at the initial stages of diagnostics when evaluating the external signs of dysplastic disorders.Purpose – improving diagnostics algorithms for connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) in children in primary dental care facilities based on the evaluation of external phenotype signs and maxillofacial morphological features.Materials and methods. Depending on the external phenotype manifestations severity, as well as on laboratory, clinical and instrumental signs, the 92 children with CTD were divided into groups with mild, moderate and severe degrees of undifferentiated dysplasia. Gnathometric and biometric examinations of the maxillofacial area were performed through traditional methods, whereas the diagnosis was set following the generally accepted classifications. The diagnosis confirmation implied evaluation through cone beam computed imaging.Results. The nature and the intensity of morphofunctional disorders in the craniofacial structures (“small” stigmas) depend on the severity of connective tissue dysplastic disorders.Conclusions. The change direction vector in the facial and brain parts of cranium in children with CTD is aimed at increasing hypoplastic tendencies and dolichocephalia, proof to that being the following constitutional and morphological features: the prevalence of the vertical type of face skeleton growth over the horizontal and neutral ones; a convex face profile with a disproportionate general heights of the face skeleton; reduction of latitudinal with an increase in altitude facial parameters; a narrow short branch of the lower jaw; the upper jaw displaced downwards and forward; a decrease in the size of the apical basis of the lower dentition, the lower jaw body, as well as the height and width of the lower jaw branches.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in girls with Turner syndrome (TS) in British Columbia.METHODS: Forty-five girls with TS were prospectively screened for CD using blinded testing with the current ’gold standard’ - immunoglobulin A (IgA) endomysium antibody (EmA) and the novel IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG). Those with positive results were offered small bowel biopsies, and a gluten-free diet was recommended if CD was confirmed.RESULTS: One asymptomatic prepubertal East Indian girl was positive for EmA, had an elevated tTG concentration of 560 U/mL and histological evidence of CD. Seven girls were negative for EmA but had elevated tTG concentrations (175 to 250 U/mL); five were white, one was Asian and one was East Indian. Small bowel biopsies were performed on three girls, and the histologies were normal. The remaining four patients declined biopsy.CONCLUSIONS: One girl with TS was identified with CD from 45 screened, giving an overall biopsy-confirmed prevalence of 2.2%. This study confirms previous observations placing girls with TS at higher risk for CD and suggests a similar high prevalence in British Columbia.
