MANIFESTAÇÕES BUCAIS PRIMÁRIAS DAS PRINCIPAIS SÍNDROMES NA ODONTOLOGIA: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Primary oral manifestations of the main syndromes in dentistry: an integrative review

Abstract

Oral manifestations stemming from syndromes can be the first relevant signs for early diagnosis. The faster they are noticed and diagnosed, the better the course of treatment will be. This study aims to discuss the main oral manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment of four primary syndromes with primary oral involvement. It is an integrative literature review through scientific articles published between 2012 and 2023 and disseminated in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. They were found in the following databases: PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, BVS, and Google Scholar, and the Boolean operator was "AND." The Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) were: "Syndromes," "Oral Manifestations," "Oral Cavity," and "Dentistry." Sjogren's Syndrome is characterized as a chronic systemic and autoimmune disorder that affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, causing xerostomia, xerophthalmia, hyposalivation, and the development of dryness in other mucosal regions, while Gardner's Syndrome is a genetic dominant autosomal disease that can occur in the oral cavity through odontomas, osteomas, connective tissue tumors, carcinomas, and supernumerary teeth. Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, on the other hand, is also characterized as an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, presenting as melanotic spots on the tongue, oral mucosa, and lips, with flat and painless characteristics. It is concluded that it is extremely important to know the clinical signs of these syndromes so that prior treatment can be performed and there is a favorable clinical evolution and prognosis for the patient.
