Introduction: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn metabolic disorder linked with inability of infants to utilize phenylalanine (Phe) due to lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme activity caused by a genetic mutation. The aim of this chapter was to analyze the PKU patients' oral health condition of the Newborn Screening Program (NSP) from the State University of Pará (UEPA). Methods: 16 PKU patients of the NSP at the UEPA were assessed by clinical examination based on dmft and DMFT index, from January 2013 to June 2013. Results: dmft index in patients between 0 and 6 years was 1.75, and DMFT index in patients between 7 and 21 years was 1.00. Conclusion: There were no oral signs directly related to diet therapy. The DMFT index result ranging in age from 1 to 6 years underscores the importance of patient's dental care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
