J Oral Pathol Med (2011) 40: 576–581 Background: Disturbances in homeostatic functions have been observed individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), possibly resulting from autonomic dysfunction. Salivary flow rate and saliva composition are controlled by the nervous system, CP exhibit alterations salivary parameters that suggest impairment. This study aimed to investigate cardiac as indicative of disturbances, associated changes individuals. Methods: Ninety were compared 35 sibling volunteers no...

Individuals with special needs exist throughout the world. The last demographic census (IBGE, 2002) in Brazil indicated that 14.5% of total population (24.5 million) present some type impairment. This study aimed to evaluate prevalence dental trauma (DT) individuals and first attendance by a surgeon patients admitted care clinic School Dentistry Universidade Paulista (UNIP), Brazil, between 2001 2005.The sample included 544 aged 1-20 years old (mean 10.7 ± SD 5.3). Patient medical records...

Previous studies reported alterations in salivary flow rate and biochemical parameters of saliva cerebral palsy (CP) individuals; however, none these considered the type neuromotor abnormality among CP individuals, thus it remains unclear whether different anatomical extended regions brain lesions responsible for neurological damage might include disruption regulatory mechanism secretion as part encephalopathy. The aim this study was to evaluate rate, pH buffer capacity individuals with CP,...

J Oral Pathol Med (2011) 40: 582–586 Background: Unstimulated whole salivary parameters have been identified as potential markers of hydration status. Reduced flow rate and increased osmolality shown to be useful identify dehydration, even when minimal loss body water occurs. This study aimed evaluate whether unstimulated from individuals with cerebral palsy correlate plasma urine osmolality. Methods: Thirty-five male female children, aged 9–13 years old, diagnosed were compared 27...

To investigate the influence of salivary osmolality on occurrence gingivitis in children with cerebral palsy (CP).A total 82 spastic CP were included this cross-sectional study. Oral motor performance and gingival conditions evaluated. Unstimulated saliva was collected using cotton swabs, measured a freezing point depression osmometer. Spearman's coefficient, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), multiple logistic regression analyses performed.Strong correlation (r > 0.7) determined among...

J Oral Pathol Med (2012) 41 : 367–371 Background: A high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) has been observed in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). One the main risks for dental erosion is GERD. This study aimed to evaluate presence GERD, variables related and associated GERD (diet consumption, gastrointestinal symptoms, bruxism), salivary flow rate, a group 46 non‐institutionalized CP aged from 3 13 years. Methods: Twenty (GERDG) 26 without (CG) were examined according...

ABSTRACT Aim: Identify whether the degree of oral motor performance is related to presence teeth grinding and maximal bite force values in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Ninety‐five palsy without grinding, according caregivers’ reports, were submitted a comprehensive evaluation during feeding process using Oral Motor Assessment Scale. Maximal was measured an electronic gnathodynamometer. Results: The group (n = 42) younger, used anticonvulsant drugs, more frequently...

Summary Aim To evaluate the relation among gingival inflammation, salivary osmolality, levels of IL‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐8, TNF‐α, and s‐IgA concentrations in children with spastic CP or without cervical motor control a cross‐sectional study. Design Unstimulated whole saliva index were collected 37 34 control, respectively. The data dichotomized as follows: (=0) absence inflammation (≥0.1) presence inflammation. Results group presented statistically higher mean values s‐IgA, cytokines. In addition,...

Since the creation of National Health Service (NHS) in Portugal, 1979, dental care is neither provided nor funded by NHS. Thus, most paid through out-of-pocket payments, either patients themselves or voluntary health insurance subsystems. In 2008 government created voucher targeting children, pregnant women, elderly who receive social benefits, and certain patient groups (HIV/AIDS those need early intervention due to oral cancer), be used private dentists contracted with programme. The...

Although drooling of saliva is considered abnormal in a child over 4 years age, it has been estimated to occur approximately 10-37% children with cerebral palsy.The aim this study was evaluate the flow rate, pH and buffering capacity Brazilian individuals palsy who drool.Cross-sectional assessment from 139 (3-16 old) enrolled specialized rehabilitation centre Sao Paulo, Brazil, divided into two groups, according presence (G1) or absence (G2) controls (G3): G1 consisted 63 drool; G2 76 do not...

Background Salivary immunoglobulin A ( SI g ) together with innate defenses such as α‐amylase, provides the ‘first line of defense’ against pathogens present at mucosal surfaces. This study aimed to evaluate salivary α‐amylase and IgA in whole saliva spastic cerebral palsy CP individuals. Methods Whole was collected from 22 24 sibling volunteers no neurological damage control groups CG (aged 7–14 years). The flow rate, total protein concentrations, activity were determined. Results group...

AIM: To evaluate the influence of classification cerebral palsy CP on caries experience in children and adolescents, determine types teeth most affected by dental caries. METHODS: A total 181 individuals with CP, aged 8.30±4.10 years were examined for diagnosis primary, mixed permanent dentitions. The sample consisted 96 quadriplegic individuals, 56 diplegic, 18 hemiplegic 11 choreoathetosis. groups compared using Kruskal-Wallis Chi-square tests. Univariate logistic regression models used to...

ABSTRACT Toriello Carey syndrome is a rare recessive autosomal disease whose clinical manifestations are more evident in males. Some authors report that the general characteristics of this agenesis corpus callosum, mental disability, convulsions, atrial septal defect, pulmonary artery stenosis, pyloric and hypospadias. Facial cranial alterations may occur, including hypertelorism, telecanthus, divergent strabismus, malformed ears, anteverted nares, retrognathism, cleft palate. This paper...

Report a clinical case of surgical lip lesion removal owing to self-injury in 9-year-old male quadriplegic, spastic cerebral palsy (CP) patient using low and high lasers association.Various management methods for oral trauma have been suggested, depending on the severity, frequency, cause injury, including medication, behavioral techniques, appliances or dental extractions.Initially, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was used injured labial tissue measuring 2.2 cm externally 3.4 internal...
