ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prosthodontic treatment of children with genetic disorders is an area that is rarely examined in the current specialist literature. Few prosthodontists will undertake treatment of such patients, who will more often be referred to an orthodontic specialist. After examining the 4 cases of children with genetic disorders described in this paper, it can be concluded that when a prosthodontist includes a few additional procedures in the treatment process, he or she can successfully help such patients.OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this paper is to indicate the clinical difficulties faced by prosthodontists who undertake prosthodontic rehabilitation of children with genetic disorders. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
The paper is based on data collected during the prosthodontic treatment of 4 children, aged 5-12 years with genetic defects, and analysis of the body of work concerning these defects and their treatment.RESULTS:
Presentation of guidelines for the prosthodontic treatment process and creation of dentures for treated children based on extended procedures.CONCLUSIONS:
A prosthodontist is a crucial person in a team of specialists treating disorders within the face among children with a genetic predisposition. A basic knowledge of orthodontics and psychology facilitates the treatment. Prosthetic restoration in the treatment group does not always require complicated operations. Individualization of the tools for downloading orthodontic impressions, designing denture elements and an increased number of checkups are the additional procedures. For the clinician, the emotional aspect of the treatment is the main impediment. Maintaining a good relationship with a patient and his or her caregivers requires interpersonal skills.Palabras clave
