Dental enamel development defects in children and adolescents with HIV infection: case ‐control study
ABSTRACT
To determine the frequency of Enamel Development Defects (DDE) and associated factors in children and adolescents infected with HIV. A case‐control study was conducted in HIV‐infected patients (n = 52), aged 3 to 15, and a control group formed by preschool and schoolchildren (n = 104) matched according to gender, age and household income. Data on medical history, neonatal and maternal conditions were obtained. For diagnosis of enamel defects was used modified DDE Index. DDE frequency was 61.5% in the case group and 58.7% in the control group (p = 0.569). Infection of the genitourinary tract and maternal hemorr...

Applying orthodontic tooth extrusion in a patient treated with bisphosphonate and irradiation: a case report
ABSTRACT
Bisphosphonates and irradiation are useful medical treatments, but can often cause oral complications such as medication‐related oral necrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) and osteoradionecrosis (ORN) during oral surgery, including tooth extraction. Therefore, we should take all risks into consideration carefully before choosing dental treatment for patients with a medical history of such therapies. A 55‐year‐old woman who underwent cord blood transplantation to treat extranodal natural killer T (NK/T) cell lymphoma (nasal type IVB) had a medical history of bisphosphonate and irradiation treatments. We treated her res...
