Dente supranumerário (DSN) é uma alteração na formação de um ou mais dentes que excedem o número normal de elementos da dentição decídua ou permamanente. Podem estar localizados em qualquer região do arco dentário sendo denominado distomolares ou quartos molares quando localizados posteriormente aos terceiros molares. Sua etiologia, apesar de não ser totalmente conhecida, é justificada pela hiperatividade da lâmina dental. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico e apresentar as alternativas clínicas. Paciente MAP, sexo feminino, 28 anos, melanoderma, procurou a clínica de semiologia aplicada do Curso de Odontologia para tratamento restaurador. Foi constatada, ao exame clínico e radiográfico, a presença de quartos molares superiores irrompidos bilateralmente, além da presença de algumas lesões cariosas e necessidade de tratamento de disfunção temporomandibular. Apesar de serem na maioria dos casos assintomáticos, os DNS devem ser diagnosticados, se possível de maneira precoce, para elaboração de um correto plano de tratamento, evitando complicações como alterações na erupção, deslocamento dentário, apinhamentos e cistos ou tumores odontogênicos.
Patients with Fanconi anaemia (FA) are prone to develop squamous cell carcinomas at an early age. Exfoliative cytology can be used to detect changes to the health of the oral mucosa. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate morphometrical and morphological changes using exfoliative cytology and to analyse and quantify the proliferative activity using silver nucleolar organiser regions (AgNOR) in epithelial cells of the tongue in FA patients, after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: Oral smears were collected from the tongues of 20 FA children and adolescents after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (FA) and 20 healthy children (C) using exfoliative cytology. The smears were stained using the Papanicolaou technique and silver impregnation. The cells were morphologically analysed and the nuclear area (NA), the cytoplasmic area (CA), and the nucleusto-cytoplasm area ratio (NA/CA) were calculated. Results: Mean values for the FA and C groups were: NA (71.85 and 55.21µm²; p< 0.01); CA (2127.48 and 1441.61µm²; p< 0.01); NA/CA (0.03 and 0.04; p< 0.01), respectively. A significant increase in the NA and CA for the FA group (p< 0.01) was seen, and an alteration in the NA/CA ratio. No morphological differences were found between the groups. Class I smears were predominant in both groups. No differences were found between the groups for the mean values of AgNORs per nucleus. Conclusion: This study suggests that morphological changes occurred in the oral epithelium cells of children and adolescents with Fanconi anaemia when subjected to HSCT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
