“…A considerable number of the children in the present material had chronic diseases that may influence caries risk such as asthma [29], congenital heart disease [30], obesity [31], diabetes [32] and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism [33–35]. Although the proportion of affected children was slightly higher in the CL(P) group (19 %) than in the control group (19 vs. 12 %; NS), this could not fully explain the differences in caries risk between the groups.…”

BackgroundPrevious studies have suggested that children with oral clefts may have higher caries prevalence in comparison with non-cleft controls but the relative importance of the potential risk factors is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare the caries risk profiles in a group of cleft lip and/or palate (CL(P)) children with non-cleft controls in the same age using a computerized caries risk assessment model.MethodsThe study group consisted of 133 children with CL(P) (77 subjects aged 5 years and 56 aged 10 years) and 297 non-cleft controls (133 aged 5 years and 164 aged 10 years). A questionnaire was used to collect data concerning the child’s oral hygiene routines, dietary habits and fluoride exposure. Oral hygiene was assessed using Quigley-Hein plaque Index and the caries prevalence and frequency was scored according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System. Whole saliva samples were analyzed for mutans streptococci, lactobacilli, buffering capacity and secretion rate. The risk factors and risk profiles were compared between the groups with aid of Cariogram and the estimated risk for future caries was categorized as “high” or “low”.ResultsChildren with CL(P) (the entire study group) had significantly higher counts of salivary lactobacilli (p < 0.05) and displayed less good oral hygiene (p < 0.05). More 10-year-old children in the CL(P) group had low secretion rate but this difference was not significant. The average chance to avoid caries ranged from 59 to 67 % but there were no significant differences between the groups. The odds of being categorized with high caries risk in the CL(P) group was significantly elevated (OR = 1.89; 95 % CI = 1.25–2.86). In both groups, children in the high risk category had a higher caries experience than those with low risk.ConclusionChildren with CL(P) displayed increased odds of being categorized at high caries risk with impaired oral hygiene and elevated salivary lactobacilli counts as most influential factors. The results suggest that a caries risk assessment model should be applied in the routine CL(P) care as a basis for the clinical decision-making and implementation of primary and secondary caries prevention.

“…Prihodova et al (2009) observaron que la catatrenia, cuyos gemidos prolongados durante la respiración provocan microdespertares, afectan la calidad del sueño, se asocia también con SAHOS; puesto que indirectamente observó en las polisomnografías que estos eventos estaban acompañados de episodios de BS y microdespertares en el 50% de los niños 25 Bruxismo y su relación con trastornos genéticos Miamoto et al (2011) comparan relato de bruxismo por parte de los padres y presencia de facetas de desgaste dentarias, en niños con síndrome de Down, en niños con parálisis cerebral y niños sin incapacidades mentales pero con malaoclusión que buscaban tratamiento de ortodoncia; en la muestra total de 180 niños estudiados encontraron una prevalencia del 23% en niños con síndrome de Down, del 25% en aquellos con parálisis cerebral y del 23% en aquellos con malaoclusión 28 . El Khatib et al (2014) comparan una muestra de 100 niños entre 3 y 12 años, diagnosticados con trastorno del espectro autista con un grupo control y observan mayor incidencia de desgastes dentarios por bruxismo en niños con el mencionado trastorno (38%) comparados con el grupo control (8%) 29 .…”

Bruxism is a rhythmic masticatory muscle activity, characterized by teeth grinding and clenching. This is a phenomenon mainly regulated by the central nervous system and peripherally influenced. It has two circadian manifestations, during sleep (sleep bruxism) and awake states (awake bruxism). Bruxism is much more than just tooth wearing. It is currently linked to orofacial pain; headaches; sleep disorders; sleep breathing disorders, such as apnea and hypopnea sleep syndrome; behavior disorders, or those associated with the use of medications. It is also influenced by psycho-social and behavior factors, which means that oromandibular parafunctional activities, temporomandibular disorders, malocclusion, high levels of anxiety and stress, among others, may precipitate the occurrence of bruxism. Nowadays, its etiology is multifactorial. The dentist and the pediatrician are responsible for its early detection, diagnosis, management, and prevention of its possible consequences on the patients. The aim of this review is to update the concepts of this disease and to make health professionals aware of its early detection and its timely management.

“…Signifi cant meer patiënten met een ASS vertonen niet-coöperatief gedrag, kennen negatieve tandheelkundige ervaringen en ook behandelangst is veel voorkomend. Echter, enkele aandachtspunten in combinatie met gedragsmatige technieken kunnen de tandheelkundige behandeling meer voorspelbaar maken (Loo et al, 2009;El Khatib et al, 2013;Blomqvist et al, 2014).…”
