Resumen
El síndrome de Down es una anomalía genética debido a la trisomía del cromosoma 21, que produce alteraciones físicas, psicomotoras, intelectuales, sistémicas y bucodentales. Entre las principales alteraciones que se presentan en la cavidad bucal hay variaciones en el crecimiento de los maxilares, problemas periodontales con mayor frecuencia, mal oclusión, labios voluminosos y lengua fisurada. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar las alteraciones de tejidos duros y blandos que presentan los pacientes con Síndrome de Down entre 8 y 18 años de ambos sexos que asisten a la Unidad Educativa Especializada Manuela Espejo. El estudio es cuali-cuantitativo, transversal, bibliográfico y descriptivo, con una muestra de 32 niños diagnosticados con Síndrome de Down. Se estableció que el Índice de Higiene Oral Simplificado en la muestra es regular, el índice CPOD es alto, según la clasificación de Angle presentan con mayor prevalencia Clase III en el 53% de la población y entre las lesiones de tejidos blandos se encuentra que el 34% de la población presenta labios voluminosos, el 59% presenta lengua fisurada y el 81% encías inflamadas que indican enfermedad periodontal. Se concluyó que existe una gran prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal causado por un alto índice de placa bacteriana y ausencia de higiene bucal
Down syndrome occurs due to a genetic abnormality when it has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome that produces physical, psychomotor, intellectual, systemic and oral disorders. Among the main changes that occur in the oral cavity there is a variation in the jaw´s growth in addition it causes periodontal problems with high frequency, poor occlusion, bulky lips and fissured tongue. This study aims to identify the hard and soft tissue alterations presented by patients with Down syndrome between ages of 8 and 18 years old in both sexes attending to “Manuela Espejo Specialized Educational Institution”. This research is under the qualitative, quantitative, transversal, Bibliographical and descriptive field, with a sample of 32 children diagnosed with Down syndrome. It was established that the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index in the sample is regular, the CPOD index is high, according to Angle classification, the highest Class III prevalence is 53%, and among soft tissue lesions, 34% of the population have bulky lips, 59% have fissured tongue and 81% have swollen gums that indicate periodontal disease. It was concluded that there was a high prevalence of periodontal disease caused by a high rate of bacterial plaque in addition of a lack of oral hygiene.
