This paper describes oral findings in an adult population with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Norway (n=94). All participants underwent a structured interview and examination. Panoramic radiographs were analyzed. The compared data from other Nordic epidemiological studies. Seventeen individuals (19%) had clinical signs of dentinogenesis (DI). Persons OI twice as many missing teeth the general population, number endodontically treated was higher than population. persons study acceptable state...

The aim of this study was to assess demographics, self-reported signs ectodermal dysplasia (problems with hair, nails, skin and sweat glands), present teeth, previous dental treatment, psychological distress QoL in individuals oligodontia, explore the associations between these factors. We also aimed compare level group normative samples.Forty-seven oligodontia registered at a resource centre Norway were included study. participants completed self-administered questionnaires on ED signs,...

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry 2011; 22: 27–36 Background. Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare complex multisystemic genetic disorder. Aim. The objective this study was to provide systematic assessment whole saliva secretion and oral manifestations associated with PWS. Design. Fifty individuals (5–40 years) PWS an age‐ sex‐matched control group were included. Whole collected. All participants underwent anamnestic interview. Radiological dental clinical examinations carried...

Objective. The objective of the study was to evaluate orofacial dysfunction in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and compare it a healthy reference group. Methods materials . Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S) protocol used for evaluation function 45 (23 Male, 22 Female) PWS, aged 19.8 ± 9.5 years, group 40 (18 M, F) individuals, 24.0 16.3 years. Results NOT-S score markedly higher PWS than (3.9 2.1 vs 0.3 0.5, p < 0.001). most common domains were Oral motor (60.0%), Habits...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare complex multsystemic genetic disorder characterized by severe neonatal hypotonia, endocrine disturbances, hyperphagia and obesity, mild mental retardation, learning disabilities, facial dysmorphology oral abnormalities. The purpose of the present study was to explore prevalence tooth wear possible risk factors in individuals with syndrome.

Quantitative research indicate increased anxiety and poorer mental health related quality of life (QoL) in individuals with oligodontia (congenital absence six or more teeth). The aim this qualitative study was to complement explore the individuals' experiences oral rehabilitation, hopefully improving care for these patients.Twelve participants (6 females, 6 males, aged 21-48) comprehensive dental treatments, consented participate a semi-structured interview. questions interview guide were...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most common genetic human obesity and characterized by hypotonia, endocrine disturbances, hyperphagia, mild mental retardation. Oral abnormalities, such as decreased salivary flow rates extreme tooth wear, have also been described. Studies shown a significant increase in reflux symptoms individuals with obstuctive sleep apnoea increased BMI, both of which are typical findings PWS. Gastro-oesophageal disease (GORD) has identified some PWS intrinsic factor...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex multisystem genetic disorder with distinct and clinical features. Among other symptoms, PWS characterized by severe infantile hypotonia feeding problems, childhood onset hyperphagia, obesity, scoliosis, short stature combined growth hormone deficiency developmental delay. associated facial dysmorphology, orofacial dysfunction, oral abnormalities, low salivary flow subsequent tooth wear. Little known about the craniofacial direction or dental skeletal...

Abstract Aim The aim of the present study was to follow‐up our previous prospective that reported high implant survival in a group Norwegian individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta. Our hypothesis treatment these persons has approximately same long‐term rate as healthy individuals. Study included seven participants (20 implants), four them (11 implants) took part and other three had died. were followed up for an average 93 months, subsequent prosthetic loading. implants clinically...
