摘要
Background and objectives Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a rare chondrodysplasia with associated primary immunodeficiency. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine oral health indicators in individuals with CHH. Methods In total, 23 individuals with CHH, aged between 4.5 and 70 years, and 46 controls aged between 5 and 76 years were clinically examined for periodontal disease, presence of oral mucosal lesions, tooth decay, masticatory system function, and malocclusions. A chairside lateral flow immunoassay test of active-matrix metalloproteinase was obtained from all the adult participants with a permanent dentition. Laboratory signs of immunodeficiency were recorded for individuals with CHH. Results Individuals with CHH and controls had similar prevalence of gingival bleeding on probing (median 6% vs. 4%). Oral fluid active-matrix metalloproteinase concentration was greater than 20 ng/ml in 45% of study subjects in both groups. However, deep periodontal pockets, 4 mm or deeper, were more common in individuals with CHH as compared to the controls (U = 282.5, p = 0.002). Similarly mucosal lesions were significantly more common in individuals with CHH (30% vs. 9%, OR = 0.223, 95%CI 0.057–0.867). The median sum of the number of decayed, missing due to caries, and filled teeth was nine for the individuals with CHH and four for controls. In the CHH cohort, 70% displayed an ideal sagittal occlusal relationship. Malocclusion and temporomandibular joint dysfunction prevalence were similar in both study groups. Conclusions Individuals with CHH have more frequently deep periodontal pockets and oral mucosal lesions than general population controls. Routine intraoral examination by a dentist at regular intervals should be recommended to all individuals with CHH.
