“…Swallowing is a complex biological process, with the oral preparatory and propulsive stages closely linked to events in the pharyngeal phase. 7,13,[16][17][18] The oral phase begins when the tongue pushes the bolus up and posteriorly towards the oropharynx. The propulsive action of the tongue is the result of the centripetal movement of the central groove of the tongue with the tip pressed against the hard palate and the sides of the tongue contacting the oral phase of the upper dental arch.…”

Objectives: Rett syndrome (RS) is a severe neurological developmental disorder characterised by stereotypical hand movements, epileptic seizures, craniofacial dysmorphism and digestive dysfunction. This study aimed to examine the correlation between the severity of malocclusion and dysphagia in patients with RS. Methods: This preliminary study was conducted at the Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic of the University Hospital of Siena, Siena, Italy, from January 2014 to December 2017. A total of 56 patients with RS were examined and grouped according to the severity of dysphagia (absent, mild, moderate or severe) and malocclusion (<2 mm, 2–3 mm, 3–4 mm or >4 mm). Results: All of the patients were female and the mean age was 11.3 years. Eight (14.3%) patients had mild, 18 (32.1%) had moderate and 30 (53.6%) had severe dysphagia. Four (7.1%) patients had <2 mm occlusion, 10 (17.9%) had 2–3 mm occlusion, 26 (46.4%) had 3–4 mm occlusion and 16 (28.6%) had >4 mm occlusion. Mild dysphagia was observed in 100% and 40% of patients with <2 and 2–3 mm malocclusion, respectively, while moderate dysphagia was present in 60% and 38.5% of patients with 2–3 and 3–4 mm malocclusion, respectively. Severe dysphagia was observed in 28.6% and 87.5% of patients with 3–4 and >4 mm malocclusion, respectively. There was a significant correlation between dysphagia and malocclusion severity (P <0.001). Conclusion: A higher degree of malocclusion was associated with more severe dysphagia among a cohort of patients with RS.Keywords: X-Linked Mental Retardation; Rett Syndrome; Dysphagia; Malocclusion; Feeding and Eating Disorders of Childhood.

Amaç: Orak hücre hastalığı (OHH), hastaların yaşam kalitelerini hayatlarının erken dönemlerinden itibaren etkileyen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Çalışmamızın amacı; OHH hastalarımızın primer bakım veren ebeveyninin (anne) OHH’a bağlı ağız, diş ve çene bölgesinde gelişen komplikasyonlar ile ilgili bilgi düzeyini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya çocuk ve genç erişkinlerden oluşan 50 OHH tanılı hasta ile primer bakım veren ebeveynleri dahil edildi. Ebeveynlere anket uygulanarak OHH’da ağız, diş sağlığı konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri ve çocuklarının ağız, diş, çene bölgesinde deneyimlediği klinik belirtiler sorgulandı. Bulgular: Ebeveynin bilgi düzeyi değerlendirildiğinde; 28’i (%56) OHH’nın ağız, diş, çene sağlığına etkisi olduğunu belirtti. Günde bir kez diş fırçalayan hastalarda hiç fırçalamayanlara göre damar tıkayıcı kriz (DTK) sıklığının daha nadir (%5’e karşı %58), günde ≥2 diş fırçalayanların ise hiç fırçalamayanlara göre transfüzyon sıklığının daha az (%6’ya karşı %32) olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamız; ebeveynlerin %44’ünün OHH’nın ağız, diş ve çene bölgesindeki komplikasyonları bilmediğini gösterdi. Ayrıca diş fırçalamanın DTK ve kan transfüzyon sıklığına etkisi olabileceğini saptadık. Ağız, diş hijyeninin önemi ile OHH’nın bu bölgedeki komplikasyonları konusunda hastaların ve ebeveynlerin farkındalığı artırılmalıdır.
