Síndrome de Silver-Russell: características crânio-faciais

Abstract

Introduction: Silver-Russell Syndrome (RSS) is a rare genetic disease that affects growth and development, characterized by low birth weight and facial anomalies. This requires a specific diagnosis, requiring multidisciplinary assessment. Its orofacial implications challenge patients' survival, requiring studies for better understanding and treatment. Objective: This study aims to report a clinical case where the dental characteristics of a patient with RSS were evaluated, comparing with similar cases in the literature. Method: This case study reported a case of a male child, aged 10 years and 9 months with SRS, so that his craniofacial and occlusal characteristics, oral health, dental positioning and other aspects were evaluated through clinical and radiographic examinations. . The results were analyzed in comparison with existing literature, ensuring confidentiality and ethics in data processing. Results and Discussion: Our study, in comparison with the literature, shows that SSR presents distinct facial and dental characteristics, such as a triangular face and malocclusion. Oral problems include cavities due to crowding and a high-carbohydrate diet, as well as enamel abnormalities. The high palate, together with micrognathia, influence crowding. In addition to the craniofacial characteristics, evidence of delayed development of the carpal region was identified on radiographic examinations, requiring additional evaluations. Conclusion: The study highlights SRH, highlighting early diagnosis, dental care and personalized treatment. The multidisciplinary approach is vital to improve the quality of life of these patients, promoting oral health and wellbeing.
