“…Although the DMFT index in patients with TS was significantly lower than in control groups (3,14,15), López et al (16) found a higher index of caries in the deciduous teeth. Kusiak et al (14) has reported that these patients may have a higher concentration of S-BC and antibacterial factors such as immunoglobulin A, lactoferrin, lysozyme and a lower DMFT index may be due to salivary properties (3), although the S-FR is slower.…”

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder caused by a numerical or structural aberration of the X chromosome, which is associated with a female phenotype. Concerning oral status, several studies have revealed that girls with TS have dental anomalies and periodontal problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oral bacteria on caries prevalence and periodontal status in pediatric patients with TS. Materials and Methods: Twenty TS patients and 17 healthy girls were examined for cariological and periodontal status. The levels of mutans streptococci (MS), lactobacilli (LB), yeast and 10 different periodontal bacteria were determined by using culture and microarray techniques in children's stimulated saliva samples. Results: There was no difference in salivary flow rate and buffering capacity, decayed-missing-filled teeth, MS, LB, or yeast levels between the groups. Plaque index and gingival index levels were significantly higher in the Turner group and dft was significantly higher in the control group (p<0.05). As a result, microarray analysis, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Eikenella corrodens, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Actinomyces viscosus were detected at high levels in the Turner group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Besides dental and craniofacial anomalies, clinicians should be alert to the early diagnosis and treatment of periodontal problems in patients with TS.

“…Numerous reports mention dental caries as a component of a well-defined inherited genetic syndrome with craniofacial phenotypes. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] These case reports and small sample surveys often document alterations in the morphology of teeth and formation of the enamel as well as the caries experience of the patient. Although this information is available, a correlation with genotype is precluded.…”

Ninety-three Finnish females with a 45,X chromosome constitution, 78 first-degree female, and 37 first-degree male relatives were examined to determine the frequency and expression of torus mandibularis. The results indicate that among adults the frequency of the trait was significantly lower and the expression weaker in the 45,X females than in male control relatives. A similar trend was observed in comparison to normal females. In juveniles the trend was reversed. Our findings suggest that the sex chromosomes may have an influence on the occurrence, expression, and timing of development of the mandibular torus. Sexual dimorphism in the manifestation of torus mandibularis may result particularly from the effect of the Y chromosome on growth.
