However, due to the sporadicity of cases and the similarity in manifestations of mild NHS with X-linked cataracts, it is difficult for clinicians and researchers to diagnose and treat NHS. Therefore, we undertake a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the oral manifestations of NHS and, its definitive diagnosis based on oral and craniofacial symptoms. An electronic search of PubMed-MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was done to retrieve case reports documenting oral anomalies related to NHS at the time of presentation. Genetic studies or studies focussing on the genetic analysis of the case were excluded. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate simple frequency, percentages, and proportions to identify trends and commonalities in presenting symptoms and oral assessment findings. Out of 2086 identified studies, 12 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Most patients' ages ranged from between 4 and 12 years of age. Out of 31 affected individuals, 11 were females and 20 were males. Screwdriver-shaped incisors (75 %) often accompanied by the presence of supernumerary teeth and diastema (66 % studies), Hutchinson incisors (50 % studies), Mulberry molar (41.6 %) malocclusion (58.3 % studies) were commonly seen. Besides that, talon cusps, agenesis/non-eruption of teeth, premolars, and Taurodontism were also observed. Facial dysmorphism was common in all the studies. An in-depth understanding of these anomalies will enable dental practitioners to provide specialised care, including focused interventions and preventive measures to address the oral health issues associated with NHS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94378,"journal":{"name":"Oral Oncology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772906024004588/pdfft?md5=bd0c558660a1f5408397ebeae26568e3&pid=1-s2.0-S2772906024004588-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141960174","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}

This review synthesizes current knowledge on PDT's clinical applications in oral cancer treatment, emphasizing its efficacy in managing early-stage cancers and precancerous lesions with favorable outcomes. PDT's non-invasive nature and potential for preserving critical anatomical functions make it particularly suitable for cases where surgical intervention may pose higher risks or affect quality of life adversely. Ongoing research efforts focus on refining PDT through advancements in photosensitizer formulations and optimizing light delivery systems. These developments aim to enhance treatment efficacy, extend PDT's applicability to deeper tumors, and address challenges such as treatment resistance. Furthermore, researchers are investigating personalized treatment strategies designed to enhance therapeutic results and reduce potential side effects for each patient's specific profile. Future directions include exploring synergistic combinations of PDT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, aiming to potentiate therapeutic responses and improve long-term survival rates. By integrating technological innovations with personalized medicine strategies, PDT holds promise as a cornerstone in the multidisciplinary management of oral cancer, offering new avenues for enhancing patient care and treatment outcomes in clinical practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94378,"journal":{"name":"Oral Oncology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772906024004540/pdfft?md5=43ea2ba347a6fc79935295f77ed98652&pid=1-s2.0-S2772906024004540-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141960175","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}

The issue was addressed with a 3D printed guide flange prosthesis that was custom-designed and fabricated using biocompatible resin, following the surgical removal of the infected reconstruction plate. The printed prosthesis resulted in substantial improvements in both functional and aesthetic aspects of the patient's condition.
