Abstract
BACKGROUND Parental perceptions of staining due to silver diamine fluoride (SDF) could affect its utilization in paediatric dentistry. This study represents the second part of a wider project focused on SDF esthetic acceptability among Italian parents. AIM To evaluate parental acceptance of SDF staining in Italy and to assess whether the parent's level of acceptance depends on location, child's behavior, or demographic background. DESIGN A cross-sectional study was conducted among Italian parents of children attending two university dental clinics. We used a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental Perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes." RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-four parents took part in the survey. Of parents, 65.4% considered the staining on posterior teeth esthetically "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable," and 19.3% on anterior teeth (p = .001). In a scenario of positive cooperation, 48.5% of parents were "somewhat likely" or "very likely" to choose SDF to treat posterior teeth, and 17.6% on anterior teeth (p = .001). Level of acceptance increased as the difficulty the child would experience to receive conventional treatment increased. CONCLUSION Staining on posterior teeth is more acceptable to parents than staining on anterior teeth. Level of acceptance on anterior teeth increases when sedation or general anesthesia is the alternative for the child.

Case Report: A Case Study on the Neurodevelopmental Profile of a Child With Pallister-Killian Syndrome and His Unaffected Twin. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:817133. [PMID: 35372156 PMCID: PMC8965074 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.817133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Pallister-Killian syndrome is an uncommon genetic disorder that has broad developmental and multisystemic effects. While medical complications are widely reported throughout the literature, research on the neurodevelopmental profile has been limited. Case reports make up the majority of the few existing studies regarding the neurodevelopmental phenotype associated with this disorder. The current case report describes a 3-year-old male with Pallister-Killian syndrome (AF), reports the neurodevelopmental evaluation of his unaffected twin brother (MF), and outlines the results of an optical imaging study on both boys. AF presents with severe developmental delays, however, he ambulates with support and engages in conversation using his communication device. Most severely impaired was AF's speech and expressive language, with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) as a possible explanation for these severe deficits. MF, the sibling, demonstrated neurotypical abilities and often advanced scores for his age. Both subjects completed a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) study, revealing decreased temporal and frontal lobe function in AF and typical functioning in MF. This case report expands on the existing literature on PKS by describing variances in fraternal twin presentation and novel reporting on fNIRS findings in both boys.

Pallister-Killian Syndrome versus Trisomy 12p-A Clinical Study of 5 New Cases and a Literature Review. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12060811. [PMID: 34073526 PMCID: PMC8226674 DOI: 10.3390/genes12060811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Pallister–Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare, sporadic disorder defined by a characteristic dysmorphic face, pigmentary skin anomalies, intellectual disability, hypotonia, and seizures caused by 12p tetrasomy due to an extra isochromosome 12p. We present three cases of PKS and two cases of trisomy 12p to illustrate and discuss features rarely cited in the literature, present certain particularities that not yet been cited, and analyze the differences between entities. Moreover, we present alternative methods of diagnosis that could be easily used in daily practice. Features not yet or rarely reported in PKS literature include marked excess of hair on the forehead and ears in the first months of life, a particular eye disorder (abnormal iris color with pointed pupil), connective tissue defects, repeated episodes of infection and autonomic dysfunction, endocrine malfunction as a possible cause of postnatal growth deficit, more complex sensory impairments, and mild early myoclonic jerks. After performing different combinations of tests, we conclude that MLPA (follow-up kit P230-B1) or array CGH using DNA extracted from a buccal swab is a reliable method of diagnosis in PKS and we recommend either one as a first intention diagnostic test. In cases without major defects associated (suspicion trisomy 12p), subtelomeric MLPA should be performed first.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dental agenesis is the congenital absence of a variable number of teeth due to the lack of formation of the corresponding tooth germ. The aim of this work was to investigate the syndromic conditions characterized by dental agenesis. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Based on the research conducted through the OMIM® (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) and PubMed online databases, more than ninety syndromes associated with severe or moderate agenesis have been found. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The main clinical features of these syndromes are described, especially those concerning the stomatognathic apparatus, referring to the most recent literature. Among these syndromes there are three clinical conditions associated with dental agenesis that are common for the clinician: Down Syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia and labio-palatal cleft. CONCLUSIONS It must be kept in mind that the success of the treatment of these patients is based on the compliance of the patient as well as on the collaboration among specialists.
