Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the received TMD treatment modalities and the perceived outcome among the frequent types of EDS. A digital questionnaire was sent to the member of the National Swedish EDS Association during January-March 2022. The subsamples of hypermobile and classical EDS were constructed. Almost 90% reported TMD symptoms. Bite splint therapy, counselling, jaw training and occlusal adjustment were reported as the most common treatments with no statistically significant difference in terms of good effect between the two subsamples. Hypermobile and classical EDS might consider as an entity with regards to TMD.

Potential risk factors and genetic variants associated with dental caries incidence in Appalachia using genome-wide survival analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND GENETICS 2023; 14:19-33. [PMID: 37736056 PMCID: PMC10509536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the potential risk factors and genetic variants associated with dental caries incidence using survival analysis. METHODS The Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia recruited and prospectively followed pregnant women and their children. A total of 909 children followed from birth for up to 7 years were included in this study. Annual intra-oral examinations were performed to assess dental caries experience including the approximate time to first caries incidence in the primary dentition. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations of time to first caries incidence with self-reported risk factors and 4.9 million genetic variants ascertained using a genome-wide genotyping array. RESULTS A total of 196 of 909 children (21.56%) had their first primary tooth caries event during follow-up. Household income, home water source, and mother's educational attainment were significantly associated with time to first caries incidence in the stepwise Cox model. The heritability (i.e., proportion of variance explained by genetics) of time to first caries was 0.54. Though no specific genetic variants were associated at the genome-wide significance level (P < 5E-8), we identified 14 loci at the suggestive significance level (5E-8 < P < 1E-5), some of which were located within or near genes with plausible biological functions in dental caries. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that household income, home water source, and mother's educational attainment are independent risk factors for dental caries incidence. We nominate several suggestive loci for further investigation.

Abstract
Craniofacial defects are one of the most frequent phenotypes in syndromic diseases. More than 30% of syndromic diseases are associated with craniofacial defects, which are important for the precise diagnosis of systemic diseases. Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2)-associated syndrome (SAS) is a rare syndromic disease associated with a wide variety of phenotypes, including intellectual disability and craniofacial defects. Among them, dental anomalies are the most frequently observed phenotype and thus becomes an important diagnostic criterion for SAS. In this report, we demonstrate three Japanese cases of genetically diagnosed SAS with detailed craniofacial phenotypes. The cases showed multiple dental problems, which have been previously reported to be linked to SAS, including abnormal crown morphologies and pulp stones. One case showed a characteristic enamel pearl at the root furcation. These phenotypes add new insights for differentiating SAS from other disorders.

Abstract
This study assessed differences in the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between subtypes of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). For statistical analysis, participants were divided according to their subtype: classical EDS (cEDS), hypermobile EDS (hEDS), and vascular EDS (vEDS). All other subtypes were descriptively analyzed. Free-text questions and the German short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were used. Finally, 295 questionnaires were included, representing 10 different EDS subtypes. The mean OHIP score of all participants was 19.6 points (standard derivation (SD) ± 12.3). The most predominant subtypes showed similar reduced OHRQoL, with 18.0 (cEDS, ±12.9), 19.5 (hEDS, ±12.0), and 15.2 (vEDS, ±11.6) OHIP points. For all other subtypes, the OHIP values varied. Participants waited an average of 21.8 years (±12.8) for their diagnosis. However, within the predominant subtypes, vEDS patients waited a noticeably shorter period of 13.3 years (±13.0; p = 0.004) compared to participants with hEDS. Additionally, this study showed no difference in OHRQoL for the predominant subtypes regardless of whether a participant was a self-help group member (18.8, ±12.0) or not (19.4, ±12.1; p = 0.327).

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare genetic skeletal syndrome. The most common features are open fontanelles, hypertelorism, mid-face retrusion, hypoplasia, or aplasia of the clavicles leading to excessive shoulder mobility, dental abnormalities such as supernumerary, and impacted teeth. This case report describes a 31-year-old male with CCD with several unusual symptoms like generalized joint hypermobility, skin laxity, and smooth skin, which leads to set a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). To our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature that describes a patient with these 2 distinct syndromes CCD and hEDS.

Abstract
The management of paediatric patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) presents an unparalleled challenge for paediatric dentists owing to the multiplex of interrelated dental manifestations and metabolic management necessitating modifications to dental care. Inborn errors of metabolism describe a largely heterogenous group of genetic disorders namely attributable to a single gene defect essential for a specific metabolic pathway. Approximately 400 disorders have been described with an overall incidence of 1 in 5000 live births worldwide. Clinical presentation is classically inconspicuous and insidious in the neonatal period with pathophysiology attributable to accumulation of toxic by-products which interfere with normal function, or insufficient synthesis of essential compounds. This paper aims to discuss the primary oral and maxillofacial manifestations across the scope of inborn errors of metabolism, whilst also considering how metabolic treatment has the propensity to complicate dental management.

Guided endodontic treatment in a region of limited mouth opening: a case report of mandibular molar mesial root canals with dystrophic calcification. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:37.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endodontic treatment of calcified root canals in molars is a challenging and time-consuming procedure. Even with the aid of a surgical microscope, the risk of root perforation is high, especially in the furcation area. The purpose of this study is to report the Computer-Aided-Design and Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) workflow, the innovative strategies for the template ideation, and the guided endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with dystrophic calcification in the mesial root canals. CASE PRESENTATION A 58-year-old female patient, ASA I, was referred to endodontic treatment in the right first mandibular molar for prosthetic reasons. The mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals appeared obliterated in the radiographic images. The absence of dental crown, tooth inclination, and the limited mouth opening of the region contributed to a poor visual reference of the tooth in the dental arch and the direction of the remaining lumens of the canals. Despite using surgical microscopy, the conventional technique led to the deviation of the mesiobuccal canal towards the furcation area. The obliteration of both mesial root canals was confirmed using the Cone Beam Computer Tomography. The clinical history associated with the tomography diagnosis was compatible with dystrophic calcifications in the pulp canals. The patient was submitted to an intra-oral scanning as well. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data (DICOM) were segmented. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were processed following the CAD-CAM workflow, aiming to create two different endodontic templates with a new open design concept. The templates with open design allowed direct visualization of the operative field, irrigation, and dentin debris removal. The strategy of the guidance sleeves niche as half-cylinders allowed the drill insertion in a limited mouth opening region. CONCLUSIONS The digital planning and guided access permitted to overcome the case limitations and then re-establish the glide path following the original anatomy of the root canals. The guided endodontic represents a personalized technique that provides security, reduced risks of root perforation, and a significant decrease of the working time to access obliterated root canals even in the mesial root canal of mandibular molars, a region of limited mouth opening.

Abstract
Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of inherited connective tissue disorders. Patients with EDS exhibit distinct pathologies of the teeth and the oral cavity. Here, we summarize the current knowledge in the various EDS types, in particular regarding severe changes in oral health‐related quality of life, the differential emergence of periodontitis, characteristic yet highly cumbersome dental manifestations, apparent anomalies of oral soft tissues, and relevant issues related to dental implantology. Resolution of remaining open questions will primarily rely on the standardization of diagnostic criteria. Clinical centers that specialize on this rare pathology need to apply congruent approaches for exact characterization of clinical features in conjunction with genetic validation that should be reached without exception in all patients and relevant family members.

Abstract
In adolescents periodontal destruction may be the primary manifestation of an as yet unrecognized rare systemic disease, and it may be up to the periodontist to make the correct tentative diagnosis. Many genetic diseases that present with primary periodontal manifestations in adolescence affect immune function, sometimes with only mild or absent systemic features. They include periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (lack of attached gingiva, various connective tissue abnormalities), Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (palmoplantar hyperkeratosis), and plasminogen deficiency (fibrin deposition within mucous membranes). Other immune disorders with severe periodontitis manifesting in adolescence are usually diagnosed in early childhood due to unmistakeable systemic features. They include Cohen syndrome (developmental disorder, truncal obesity, and microcephaly), Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diathesis, and other systemic manifestations), glycogen storage disease type 1b, and Chediak-Higashi syndrome (pyogenic infections, albinism, and neuropathy). The structural integrity of periodontal tissue is affected in genodermatoses such as Kindler syndrome, a type of epidermolysis bullosa. In primary hyperoxaluria, inflammatory periodontal destruction is associated with renal calculi. Breakdown of periodontal tissues independent of dental plaque biofilm-induced periodontitis is found in hypophosphatasia (highly variable skeletal hypomineralization) or isolated odontohypophosphatasia, hypophosphatemic rickets and primary hyperparathyroidism. Finally, alveolar osteolysis mimicking localized periodontitis may be due to neoplastic processes, e.g., in neurofibromatosis type 1 (typical skin features including café au lait macules and neurofibromas), Langerhans cell histiocytosis (locally destructive proliferation of bone marrow-derived immature myeloid dendritic cells), and Gorham-Stout disease (diffuse cystic angiomatosis of bone).

Abstract
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a family of multisystemic hereditary connective tissue disorders now comprised of 13 recognized subtypes, classical, classical-like, cardiac-valvular, vascular, hypermobile, arthrochlasia, dermosparaxis, kyphoscoliotic, brittle cornea syndrome, spondylodysplastic, musculocontractural, myopathic, and periodontal, as designated by the most recent 2017 International classification system. Clinical presentation of this disease can range from mild manifestations including skin hyperextensibility and joint hypermobility, to more severe complications such as vascular and organ rupture. While there may be accompanying inflammation in some of the subtypes of EDS, the pathogenic mechanisms have not been clearly defined. Thorough evaluation incorporates clinical examination, family history, laboratory testing, and imaging. In recent years, studies have identified multiple gene variants involved in the pathogenesis of specific EDS subtypes as well as elaborate clinical diagnostic criteria and classification models used to differentiate overlapping conditions. The differential diagnosis of EDS includes hypermobility spectrum disorders, Marfan syndrome, Loey-Dietz syndrome, Cutis laxa syndromes, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 1, fibromyalgia, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Surgical treatment is reserved for complications, or emergencies involving vascular or orthopedic injury because of the risk of poor wound healing. Management techniques each have their own consequences and benefits, which will also be discussed in this review article. Patients affected by this spectrum of disorders are impacted both phenotypically and psychosocially, diminishing their quality of life. There are 13 of EDS as defined by the International EDS Consortium, some with an identified genetic etiology. Skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, easy bruising, and organ rupture are common features of EDS. Hypermobile EDS is a poorly defined entity that has been associated with MCAS and POTs. The association of hEDS, MCAS and POTS has not been confirmed. There is a paucity of evidence for an immunological mechanism for EDS.

Abstract
Young patients with ectodermal dysplasia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome present with unique characteristics and corresponding treatment challenges. Congenitally missing teeth or conditions leading to premature tooth loss may be exhibited. Underdeveloped or easily traumatized oral structures are commonly seen and must be rehabilitated with care. These oral features can have a negative impact on the patients' quality of life and may require special considerations during dental treatment. This report follows the initial treatments of a 6-year-old patient with ectodermal dysplasia and a 20-year-old patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, with the incorporation of digital technologies in their subsequent oral rehabilitation.
