    A cephalometric method to diagnosis the craniovertebral junction abnormalities in osteogenesis imperfecta patients
    (Journal of Clinical Experimental Dentistry, 2015) Rios Rodenas, Mercedes; Nova García, Manuel Joaquín De; Gutiérrez Díez, Mª Pilar; Feijoo García, Gonzalo; Mourelle Martínez, Rosa; Garcilazo Ambriz, Mario; Ortega Aranegui, Ricardo
    Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary bone fragility disorder that in most patients is caused by mutations affecting collagen type I. Their typical oral and craneofacial characteristics (Dentinogenesis imperfecta type I and class III malocclusion), involve the dentist in the multidisciplinary team that treat these patients. It is usual to perform lateral skull radiographs for the orthodontic diagnosis. In addition, this radiograph is useful to analyse the junctional area between skull base and spine, that could be damaged in OI. Pathology in the craneovertebral junction (CVJ) is a serious complication of OI with a prevalence ranging from rare to 37%. To diagnosis early skull base anomalies in these patients, previously the neurological symptoms have been appear, we make a simple cephalometric analysis of the CVJ. This method has four measurements and one angle. Once we calculate the values of the OI patient, we compare the result with the mean and the standard deviations of an age-appropriate average in healthy controls. If the patient has a result more than 2,5 SDs above the age appropriate average in healthy controls, we should to refer the patient to his/her pediatrician or neurologist. These doctors have to consider acquiring another diagnostic images to be used to determine cranial base measurements with more reliability. Thereby, dentists who treat these patients, must be aware of the normal radiological anatomy of the cervical spine on the lateral cephalogram.

    A study of the dental treatment needs of special patients: cerebral paralysis and Down syndrome
    (European journal of paediatric dentistry, 2018) Rodríguez Peinado, Nazareth; Mourelle Martínez, Rosa; Diéguez Pérez, Montserrat; Nova García, Manuel Joaquín De
    Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the dental characteristics and the oral health care needs of patients with Cerebral Paralysis (CP) and Down Syndrome (DS). Materials and methods: The selected sample consisted of 28 patients of both sexes between 10 and 20 years of age. Study design: observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Statistics: The statistical analysis was carried out with the SPSS 19.0 program for Windows. The frequency distribution and contingency tables were analysed, as was interobserver concordance. non mi è chiaro cosa intendono qui. Results: Fifty percent of the patients with CP presented dental traumas, compared to 15% of the patients with DS. Dental prophylaxis was the most prevalent treatment in both groups 77% in CP compared to 86.7% in DS). The most frequent habit was oral breathing, which was found in 69.2% of the patients with CP and 80% of those with DS. Conclusions: Patients with CP and DS require early dental care in order to prevent and limit the severity of the pathologies observed.
