Treatment with removable prosthesis in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. A clinical case

No disponible

Ectodermal dysplasias form part of a wide range of syndromes presenting abnormal development of two or moretissues derived from the ectoderm.Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a congenital syndrome, characterized by hypotrichosis (hair is sparse, fine and weak; anomalies in the skin and nails), hypohidrosis (due to the paucity of sweat glands which in turn gives rise to sweat disorders) and hypodontia (partial, and occasionally total, absence of primary and/or permanent dentition). A case of a child with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with oligodontia and marked resorption of the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges is presented. A prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of a removable acrylic prosthesis was made, achieving excellent esthetics, functionality and adaptation, thanks to which a considerable improvement in self-esteem has been obtained

Local anesthetics in dentistry.

The purpose of the present paper is to carry out a review of the literature on local anesthetics (LAs), which are the most commonly used drugs in dentistry. Thanks to their improvement over the last few years, they have constituted an enormous advance in both odontological treatment -- improving the dental operation in a determinant manner, and the comfort of the patient during these procedures. Furthermore, the addition of a blood vessel constrictor to these local anesthetics has meant that a lower dose of anesthetic can be used, which at the same time acts for longer, providing better conditions for both the patient and dentist. In addition, a study is made of the possible drug interactions, contraindications etc. of the different components in the anesthetic solution, and likewise the possible allergic hypersensitive reactions which can take place and which must be taken closely into consideration when used in the oral cavity.

Anestésicos locales en odontoestomatología / Local anesthetics in dentistry

El motivo del presente trabajo es hacer una revisión bibliográfica sobre los anestésicos locales (AL) que son las drogas de más uso en Odontoestomatología y que, merced a su perfeccionamiento, en los últimos años han significado un enorme avance, tanto en los tratamientos odontológicos, para mejorar de forma determinante la operatoria dental, como el confort del paciente en estos procederes. Además al haber añadido a estos anestésicos locales un vasoconstrictor se ha conseguido que se puedan usar dosis menores de anestésico y a la vez que con menos dosis se puede actuar más tiempo y en buenas condiciones para el paciente y el dentista. Se realiza al mismo tiempo un estudio de las posibles interacciones medicamentosas, contraindicaciones, etc. de los distintos componentes de la solución anestésica, así como las posibles reacciones de alergia o de hipersensibilidad a la que puedan dar lugar y que se han de tener muy en cuenta a la hora de su utilización en la cavidad oral (AU)
