The aim of this report is to describe dental anomalies observed in four children diagnosed with microcephaly. These patients, with an average age of 7.1 months, consisting of one male and three females, had been diagnosed with severe microcephaly and neurological damage. They were referred to our service for an evaluation of their dental arches. Upon intraoral examinations, these children exhibited developmental dental defects, including white enamel opacities on their upper and lower permanent incisors, as well as cream enamel demarcated opacities on the occlusal surfaces of their deciduous molars. Furthermore, they presented developmental disturbances related to tooth eruption, including alterations in the chronology and sequence of permanent tooth eruption. Panoramic radiographs were taken to further assess their dental conditions. However, dental agenesis, supernumerary teeth, tooth-size reduction, and taurodontism were not observed in these patients. Currently, these children are under follow-up for monitoring their dental development. It is important to note that additional studies are necessary to gain a deeper understanding of dental alterations in children with microcephaly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
