Özet

Objectives

The common embryologic neural origin of the ectoderm includes the epidermal layer of the skin and the amelodentinal (the enamel and dentine) components of the teeth, which result in a variety of conditions affecting both skin and dentition to different degrees. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of dental anomalies among pediatric patients with skin diseases.

Materials and Methods

Patients with skin disease (4–16 ages, n = 71) were included in study group and 41 age-gender-matched children were designated as control group. Enamel defects were evaluated with the MIH Index. Panoramic radiographs were taken, and dental anomalies seen in the radiographs (hypodontia, hyperdontia, taurodontism, short root anomaly) were recorded.

Results

MIH was found to be significantly higher in chronic skin diseases group. DDE-not-related MIH, and other dental anomalies were found to be statistically significantly higher in the genodermatoses group.

Conclusion

Current study confirms a connection between MIH and chronic skin diseases, as well as a relationship between genodermatoses, DDD-not-related MIH, and other anomalies.

Clinical Relevance:

Dental screening and management should be taken into account as part of the patient's overall health care plan, and clinicians should be aware of the potential oral health issues associated with skin diseases.
