Study Notes
Treacher Collins and Down Syndromes Co-occurrence
- Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) is a heritable disorder causing craniofacial anomalies.
- TCS prevalence is estimated at 1:10,000-1:50,000.
- Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive. A 50% chance a child inherits it if one parent has the syndrome.
- Oral and dental anomalies are common in TCS, including cleft palate, missing/hypoplastic teeth, and malocclusion.
- Crowded teeth, transverse maxillary hypoplasia, crossbites, anterior open bite, and Class II molar relationships are also possible aspects.
- Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder with chromosome 21 trisomy. Prevalence is 1:600-1:800 live births and increases with maternal age.
- DS has high variability in prognosis and associated features.
- Dental malformations are ten times more frequent in DS than the general population.
- Characteristics include microdontia, agenesis, delayed tooth eruption, and dental morphological alteration, bruxism, periodontal disease, malocclusion, mouth breathing, macroglossia, potential swallowing/chewing difficulties, and oral inflammation.
- Increased risk of caries due factors including sugar-containing pediatric medications and reduced oral hygiene practices because of behavioral limitations for children with special needs.
Case Report Details
- 7-year-old male patient with leukoderma, Down syndrome, and Treacher Collins syndrome.
- Patient presented with difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.
- Karyotype was 47,XY,+21.
- Mother and other family members affected by TCS.
- Clinical examination revealed eyelid coloboma, absent eyelashes, malar/mandibular hypoplasia, mandibular retrusion, unusual ear morphology, and significant hearing loss.
- Intraoral examination revealed high cariogenic activity, malocclusion, cleft palate, missing tooth, and extensive caries.
- Patient's behavior made traditional outpatient care unsuitable.
- Treatment under general anesthesia was necessary due to the patient's behavior.
- Procedures included tooth extractions, caries removal, and restorative treatments.
- The patient presented substantial problems with protein and calorie intake and nutritional deficiencies.
- Anemia (low RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit), macrocytosis, and low serum ferritin were also present.
- Preoperative/postoperative instructions were provided.
- Long term oral hygiene and prevention strategies were advised and implemented
Treatment & Implications
- General anesthesia was necessary due to the patient's behavior.
- Extensive dental treatment, including extractions and restorations, was conducted during the single anesthetic session.
- Parents were provided with information and training about oral hygiene management at home.
- Patient was referred for routine follow-up appointments for continued oral health maintenance.
Conclusion and Recommendations
- Oral health and overall health are interconnected, and successful treatment relies on understanding the patient's entire health picture.
- Patients with special needs may require unique approaches to dental care, potentially involving general anesthesia.
- Multidisciplinary efforts, involving dentists, physicians, and nutritionists, may be necessary to provide comprehensive treatment.
