Manifestaciones clínicas odontológicas presentes en niños con Síndrome de Down mediante revisión bibliográfica

Down Syndrome is a chromosomal genetic alteration with an unknown etiologythat develops due to the confirmation of an extra chromosome. Therefore, individuals present three chromosomes in the 21st pair, which generates alterations in the cells that generally have 46 chromosomes distributed in 23 chromosomal pairs. Objective: To determine the prevalence of oral manifestations present in children with Down syndrome using a bibliographic review. Materials and methods: We performed a qualitative, descriptive, and documentary bibliographic examination. The sample consisted of 27 scientific articles and three theses, obtained from databases such as PubMed, Scielo, Medline, SciMed Central, Scopus, and others. Results: 30% of the articles mention that three genetic variations can cause Down syndrome: regular, translocation, and mosaic trisomy 21, while 13.33% mention that an additional factor responsible is the mother's age. 20% mentioned there is no variation in oral manifestations between males and females compared to 16.67% who mentioned that there is. 100% mention whether there is variation in the dental clinical characteristics of the patient with Down syndrome according to their age. Conclusions: In children with Down syndrome, there are oral manifestations such as fissured or geographic tongue, macroglossia, microdontia, agenesis, pigmentation, delayed dental eruption, diastemas, posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, mouth breathing, low prevalence of dental caries, increased salivary pH and high prevalence of the periodontal disease
