Abstract

Children as young patients need specific methods of communication with the dentist. The necessity to use the dental prosthodontics is caused by the premature loss of deciduous as well as permanent teeth which is related to genetic diseases and acquired illnesses. The main objective of this paper was to analyze the etiology of children dental prosthodontics, as well as methods of dental and prosthodontic rehabilitation. The choosen medical documentation of patients treated in the Department of Proshodontics of Wroclaw Medical University were used as materials. The clinical part of the paper was based on the medical history and photographic documentation of patients. Among the group of subjects the authors selected 4 children with various diseases, i.e.: baby bottle caries (as the most common cause of dental restorations in children), dysplasia ectodermalis, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, Papillon-Lefevre syndrome – keratoplasma palmoplantare cum periodontitis (rare diseases but also resulting in the use of dentures). The characteristics of the disease and the methods of dental treatment were taken into account.

Streszczenie

Dzieci jako młodzi pacjenci wymagają zastosowania swoistych metod pozwalających na właściwą komunikację ze stomatologiem. Konieczność zastosowania protez zębowych u dzieci wiąże się z przedwczesną utratą uzębienia mlecznego i stałego, co może mieć podłoże genetyczne lub nabyte. Celem pracy była analiza przyczyn stosowania uzupełnień protetycznych i metod rehabilitacji stomatologicznej w wybranych przypadkach. Materiał do badań stanowiły karty pacjentów przechowywane w Katedrze i Zakładzie Protetyki Stomatologicznej Akademii Medycznej we Wrocławiu. Część kliniczna pracy opierała się na przeprowadzonym wywiadzie stomatologicznym i dokumentacji zdjęciowej pacjentów. Spośród grupy badanych wyselekcjonowano 4 osoby z różnymi jednostkami chorobowymi – baby bottle caries (jako najczęstsza przyczyna stosowania uzupełnień protetycznych u dzieci), dysplasia ectodermalis, zespół Gorlina-Goltza, zespół Papillon-Lefevre – keratoplasma palmoplantare cum periodontitis (choroby rzadko spotykane prowadzące do zastosowania protez). Uwzględniono cechy charakterystyczne choroby oraz metody postępowania stomatologicznego.
