“…The incidence was 1 in 660 births with Trisomy 21 (Hidajat et al, 2005;Hurairah, 2012;Ghosh et al, 2010). The syndrome is a genetical anomaly caused by numeric aberation as a failure of replication process and nondisjunction of the cell (Hidajat et al, 2005;Rinaya, 2003;Moraes et al, 2007a). As results of chromosomal disorders, patients with Down Syndrome (DS) have disorders of mental and physical development including delayed dental development (Sjarif, 2011).…”

Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality (trisomy 21) characterized by an extra chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have impairement in mental and physical development, including delayed dental development. Dental age is stage of development of teeth measured by maturation stage of teeth. This study aims to determine or asses the growth or maturation of permanent teeth in children with Down syndrome. This research was a cross-sectional analysis. Analysis test using paired t-test to compare the average of chronological age to dental age, also unpaired t-test for comparing the dental age of children with Down syndrome to normal based on chronological age. The result showed that there was significant difference between chronological age and dental age in children with Down syndrome (p-value <0,05). Thus, there was the difference of dental age between children with Down syndrome and normal but not significant (pvalue >0,05). The conclusion of this study showed that dental age more late than chronological age in children with Down syndrome. In spite dental age in Down syndrome children is descriptively later than in normal.

“…The most frequent occlusal anomalies stem from variations in vertical and transversal occlusions (anterior open bite, posterior crossbite and reductions in the maxillary arch) [9][10][11]. These anomalies cause problems related to oral functioning (chewing, swallowing and speaking) [12][13][14].…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize occlusal anomalies in a Portuguese population with Down Syndrome (DS) and to compare its distribution with that of their siblings. Study Design: A sibling-matched, population-based and cross-sectional survey was performed. Methodology: This study involved 132 children with DS and 84 of their siblings, aged 2 to 26 years. Data were gathered through the use of a complete questionnaire and clinical observation. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS® v.20.0 and any p-value <.05 was considered significant. Results: Seventy six percent of the DS children and 72% of their siblings showed class I of Angle. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding class I (P=.60). Only 4% of the DS children presented class II versus 22% of the siblings (P=.001). Twenty percent of the DS children and 6% of the siblings presented class III (P=.008). The DS group presented occlusal anomalies more frequently, especially posterior crossbite (P<.001), anterior open bite (P=.005) and Original Research ArticleBritish Journal of Medicine & Medical Research, 4(35): 5604-5611, 2014 5605 anterior crossbite (P=.001). Deep overbite was only found in the siblings group (P=.001). Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that children with Down syndrome have more occlusal anomalies than general population.

“…In addition, the occurrence of multiple ST is less common than the occurrence of a single ST and is even more rare in the absence of a systemic condition or syndrome, such as cleidocranial dysplasia, Gardner syndrome or Down syndrome (2,9). The literature shows that 76 to 86% of nonsyndromic cases involve only one supernumerary tooth and that 12 to 23% of cases present two ST (2,10,11).…”

Multiple Supernumerary Teeth in a Nonsyndromic 12-Year-Old Female Patient - A Case Report

et al. 2014

Supernumerary teeth (ST) are uncommon alterations of development that may appear in either of the dental arches and that are frequently associated with syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia and Gardner syndrome. Multiple ST in individuals with no other disease or syndrome are very rare. In view of this situation, correct diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of ST with the use of appropriate imaging techniques are highly important. This case report presents radiographic images of a nonsyndromic 12-year-old female patient who presented with 14 supernumerary teeth and was treated under general anesthesia, with the extraction of all ST in a single surgical intervention. During the postoperative period, the patient did not complain of pain nor did she present any signs or symptoms of infection. During late follow-up period, due to difficulty in traction of the maxillary right canine and mandibular left first premolar towards the dental arch, it was necessary to extract these teeth under local anesthesia. Radiographic examination 3 years after surgery revealed the absence of ST and of diseases related to the existence of these teeth.
