Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) leads to the formation of an atypical hemoglobin tetramer with reduced capacity to carry oxygen. Although correlation between SCD and craniosynostosis (CS) has been mentioned, these are mostly small series or case reports. This article aimed to study any correlation between these entities in a large pediatric population. Methods We retrospectively reviewed head CT scans of SCD patients from 0 to 8 years of age who required a CT for issues unrelated to their head shape between 2012 and 2020. We excluded patients with known history of CS or any CS-related syndrome, hydrocephalus, shunt placement, history of cranial surgery, or any reported cerebral or cranial shape abnormality. Results Ninety-four CT scans were analyzed. The mean age at imaging was 4.48 ± 2.30 years. CS prevalence in this cohort was 19.1%. Analysis between independent variables and patients with +CS showed that SCD-associated vasculopathy, first-degree relatives with SCD, and the use of folic acid had a statistically significant association with CS development. Conclusions Approximately 20% of pediatric patients with SCD developed CS. This association was higher in those patients who had a family history of SCD, used folic acid, and had SCD-associated vasculopathy. While the clinical impact of these findings needs more extensive study, centers that manage patients with SCD should be aware of the relatively high concordance of these diagnoses, vigilantly monitor head shape and growth parameters, and understand the potential risks associated with unidentified or untreated CS.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease is a multisystem disease associated with episodes of acute illness and progressive organ damage. It is one of the most common severe monogenic disorders worldwide and is now the fastest growing genetic disorder in the UK. Dental awareness of orofacial manifestation varies geographically due to the inheritance pattern and patient population affected by the disease. This article details the epidemiology, pathophysiology and the orofacial manifestations in light of current literature.

Abstract
The US Surgeon General's report Oral Health in America highlighted ways in which oral health and systemic conditions are associated with each other. An oral examination can reveal signs and symptoms associated with systemic diseases. In this article, multiple systemic diseases including but not limited to viral and immune modulated conditions and associated oral symptoms are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to advances in the field of medicine, early diagnosis and high-quality medical management has become available for medically compromised patients. This increases their life expectancy and improves their quality of life. Therefore, orthodontic treatment can be provided to these patients whose medical conditions are well controlled. OBJECTIVE This article will discuss some medical conditions that might be seen by orthodontists. Also, recommendations and modifications of the orthodontic treatment plan will be discussed thoroughly. MATERIALS AND METHODS A computerized electronic search of the literature was conducted in Google Scholar and PubMed and was limited to publications in English. RESULTS Orthodontic management was studied in cases of Infective endocarditis (IE), Thrombocytopenia, Hemophilia, Sickle cell anemia, Thalassemia, Diabetes mellitus (DM), Thyroid Disorders, Asthma, DiGeorge Syndrome, HIV/AIDS, Organ transplantation, Orthodontic management, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), Seizure disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mood disorders, Schizophrenia and Eating disorders.

Abstract
Sickle-cell disease (SCD), which involves morphological changes to the red blood cells, is the most common hemoglobinopathy worldwide. This conformational change in erythrocytes affects multiple organs and systems, including the hard and soft tissues of the stomatognathic system. The objective of this study was to provide a description of the maxillomandibular positioning of patients using computed tomography in a case series of 40 patients with SCD. To define the facial profile of patients, 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) McNamara and Steiner cephalometric tracings were performed. The results showed that there is a tendency to maxillary protrusion in 2D and 3D analyses. There was no statistical difference between the 2D and 3D evaluations; additionally, sex affected the maxillomandibular positioning of patients, but only in McNamara evaluations.

Abstract
Objective: To assess differences in the dental care provided to sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients depending on age. This retrospective study used secondary data from the dental records of the Center of Hematology and Hemotherapy in Maranhão (HEMOMAR). Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from 574 dental records of patients with SCA treated or under treatment in the Dental Department of HEMOMAR from 2000 to 2011. Data on the gender, age, duration of dental treatment, number of patients submitted to periodontal treatment (PT), number of filled teeth (FT), teeth extracted (EX), endodontically treated teeth (ET), and reason for the dental procedures were collected. The Kruskal–Wallis test together with Dunn's post hoc test, Chi-square test, and Spearman's correlation was used for statistical analysis. An alpha error of 5% was considered acceptable. Results: Significant differences were found for FT, EX (P < 0.05), ET and PT (P < 0.001) between the age groups. There were fewer FT in children compared to other age groups (P < 0.001). The most common reasons for restorations and endodontic treatment were dental caries (100%) and irreversible pulpitis (55.6%), respectively. The main reasons for teeth extractions were residual roots (21.3%), chronic apical periodontitis (19.7%), and crown destruction (19.3%). There were positive correlations between age and EX (r = 0.93; P = 0.025) and ET (r = 0.92; P = 0.028). Conclusions: FT, ET, EX, and PT procedures become more common in older patients. Tooth decay is the main reason for dental treatment in SCA patients.

Abstract
Background Children with sickle cell disease may have their quality of life affected by oral alterations. However, there is still little data on oral health-related quality of life in these children. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sickle cell disease, socioeconomic characteristics, and oral conditions on oral health-related quality of life of children and teens. Method One hundred and six children and teens with sickle cell disease were compared to a similar sample of 385 healthy peers. Data were collected through oral examinations, interviews to assess quality of life (Child Perceptions Questionnaire for children aged 8–10 and 11–14) and questionnaires containing questions on socioeconomic status. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the total scores of the Child Perceptions Questionnaires or domain scores comparing sickle cell disease patients to control subjects. When sub-scales were compared, oral symptoms and functional limitations had a greater negative impact on the quality of life of adolescents with sickle cell disease (p-value <0.001 and p-value <0.01, respectively) when compared to healthy controls. The only statistically significant determinants of negative impact on oral health-related quality of life in the overall sample was home overcrowding (more than two people/room) in the younger children's group, and dental malocclusion among teens. Conclusion There was no significant difference in the negative impact on the oral health-related quality of life between the group with sickle cell disease and the control group. Of the oral alterations, there was a significant difference in the oral health-related quality of life between adolescents with sickle cell disease and controls only in relation to malocclusion. Among the socioeconomic characteristics, only overcrowding was significantly associated with a negative impact on oral health-related quality of life.
