Facial analysis of children with microcephaly in the primary dentition
Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Oral health care involved dental development, the stomatognathic system and craniofacial growth in early childhood in order to significantly reduce curative measures. But, what about individuals with microcephaly? The present study explores the morphological diagnosis of these children's faces. The study population corresponded to 7 Brazilian children with microcephaly, without associated syndromes in the complete deciduous dentition. The data collection consisted of the analysis of the facial characteristics obtained from clinical records and photos of the front and profile of the face at rest. In the frontal norm analysis, the predominance of dolichofacial type (100%) was observed. In the lateral norm analysis, there was a predominance of Pattern II children (85.71%) in relation to Pattern I (14.29%). It was also assessed that the proportion of severe Microcephaly (-3 SD) was higher in males (p = 0.04). There was no association between the severity of microcephaly and the facial type (p> 0.05), although the Type II pattern was more prevalent in severe microcephaly (100% of cases). The alert for the longitudinal monitoring of the mandibular growth vector of these individuals is essential, which is significant for the diagnosis and prognosis of orthopedic treatment while there is craniofacial growth.
