“… 14 ZIKV, circulating since 2015, 10 drew widespread concern during Brazil's 2016 epidemic, 12 primarily due to its association with Guillain-Barré syndrome 15 and congenital Zika syndromes. 12 , 16 , 17 In recent years, the overlapping clinical symptoms among these arboviruses, the potential for cross-immunity between ZIKV and DENV, 18 and changes in surveillance during the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to a drop in case reports. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed and subsequent decline, a resurgence in arbovirus cases was observed.…”

“…23,27 Previous studies have also pointed out the limited access of Brazilian individuals with disabilities to oral health care services, mainly in the public health setting. 28,29 One of the main reasons for that is the reduced number of services dedicated to the oral health care of these patients and the unpreparedness of many professionals. 23,27,28 Oral diseases in individuals with CZS-associated microcephaly have been documented elsewhere.…”

The aim of the present study was to compare the oral conditions of children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS)-associated microcephaly, non-CZS-associated microcephaly, and normotypical children, as well as to characterize their sociodemographic aspects and medical history. A paired cross-sectional study was carried out on 14 children with CZS-associated microcephaly and 24 age-matched controls, in Belo Horizonte, in southeastern Brazil. Children's oral conditions were assessed: dental caries experience (dmft/DMFT indices); developmental defects of enamel (DDE) index; dental anomalies; mucosal changes; lip sealing, and malocclusion (overjet, overbite, and/or posterior crossbite alterations). The quality of oral hygiene was analyzed by the simplified oral hygiene index. The children's mothers also answered a questionnaire about sociodemographic and medical history data. The variables were analyzed descriptively. Female participants were more prevalent (60.5%), and the mean age of the participants was 4.9 years (±1.4) (range: 2-8 years) and 92.1% of their exhibited some oral condition. All participants with CZS-associated microcephaly showed absence of lip sealing and had malocclusion (100.0%). When compared to the other groups, children with CZS had a higher percentage of dental anomalies (35.7%), mucosal changes (71.4%), and unsatisfactory oral hygiene (64.3%). In a sample composed mainly of female participants aged less than 5 years, the prevalence of oral conditions and unsatisfactory oral hygiene was higher in the group with CZS-associated microcephaly, followed by the group with non-CZS-associated microcephaly. Normotypical children had the highest percentage of dental caries experience.
