Oral manifestations are commonly described and include a high-arched palate with dental crowding and malocclusion, hypoplastic enamel, and retained deciduous teeth with impacted permanent teeth, and there is an increased risk of developing osteomyelitis of the jaw. We report here the history of a 9-year-old male with the typical facial and skeletal phenotype of pycnodysostosis but novel oral features. He presented with bilateral progressive facial swelling, which caused functional impairment with chewing and contributed to his severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The severity of his OSA required surgical intervention, and the lesions were resected. Extensive bone remodeling and replacement by fibrous tissue were noted on submucosal dissection, and bilateral subtotal maxillectomies were required. The histopathology of the biopsied lesion was consistent with a giant cell-rich lesion. Genetic testing identified a pathogenic homozygous variant in the CTSK gene, c.953G > A, p. (Cys318Tyr). The proband had a good postsurgical response with sustained improvement in his sleep OSA. We present here the history and clinical characteristics of a patient with typical features of pycnodysostosis and an unusual presentation and histopathology of gnathic bone lesions. This report adds to the body of literature on this rare condition and also highlights the finding of giant cell-rich lesions of the gnathic bones. Giant cell-rich lesions in pycnodysostosis have previously been reported in two cases in the literature. While there is not enough evidence to support a certain association with pycnodysostosis, it is prudent to consider regular oral dental reviews in affected individuals to identify pathology early and avoid such life-threatening complications.","PeriodicalId":12463,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Oral Health","volume":"4 ","pages":"1188443"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10242096/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9653489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, dental professionals in these remote locations may feel the access and referrals to oral and maxillofacial pathologists cumbersome. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted an inevitable surge in the use of digital technology due to the social distancing norms and lockdowns, which forced dental education institutions and practitioners to adjust to new ways of meeting, teaching, and providing dental care.

Poor, immunocompromised and severely malnourished children (2 to 6 years old) are mostly affected by Noma. Prevention and effective management of Noma is hindered by the lack of sufficient cohesive studies on the microbial etiology of the disease. Research efforts have not provided a comprehensive unified story of the disease. Bridging the gap between existing studies gives an insight on the disease pathogenesis. This current systematic review of etiological studies focuses on the key players of dysbiosis in Noma disease. This review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Web of Science, MEDLINE <i>via</i> PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Science Direct were searched electronically for clinical trials which applied culture dependent or molecular techniques to identify oral microbiota from Noma patients. Trials which involved periodontal diseases except Noma were excluded. After screening 275 articles, 153 full-texts articles were assessed for eligibility of which eight full text articles were selected for data extraction and analysis. The results show that 308 samples from 169 Noma participants (6 months to 15 years old) have been used in clinical trials. There was some variance in the microbiome identified due to the use of 3 different types of samples (crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, and swabbed pus) and the ambiguity of the stage or advancement of Noma in the studies. Other limitations of the studies included in this review were: the absence of age-matched controls in some studies; the constraints of colony morphology as a tool in distinguishing between virulent fusobacterium genus at the species level; the difficulty in culturing spirochaetes in the laboratory; the choice of primers in DNA amplification; and the selection of probe sets in gene sequencing. This systematic review highlights spirochaetes and P. intermedia as putative trigger organisms in Noma dysbiosis, shows that F. nucleatum promotes biofilms formation in late stages of the disease and suggests that future studies should be longitudinal, with high throughput genome sequencing techniques used with gingival plaque samples from early stages of Noma.</p>","PeriodicalId":12463,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Oral Health","volume":"4 ","pages":"1095858"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10020349/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9145755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
