What causes problems in babies in embryo?
Teratogens
Definition of teratogen:
Any agent that can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus. Teratogens may cause a birth defect in
the child. Or a teratogen may halt the pregnancy outright.
Muscular dystrophy:
group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system & hamper locomotion. Characterized by progressive
skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue.
- Muscular dystrophy: muscle weakness, “long face” which is characterized by a lower vertical facial height and open bite/
Muscle dystrophy; after local anesthetic is most likely due to? Lidocaine toxicity, increase duration of action, increase onset, Can’t
be supine
Lidocaine toxicity,
QUESTION: Pt w/ muscular dystrophy condition:
lower face with open bite
What can be seen on a patient with muscle weakness of the face? Cross bite, buccal tilting of molars, long upper face, lower face
with open bite
lower face
with open bite
Considerations for muscular dystrophy: increase in dental disease if OHI is neglected, weakness of muscles of mastication
weakness of muscles of mastication
decrease biting force, open mouth breathing
Addison’s disease
primary adrenal insufficiency
chronic endocrine disorder, adrenal glands do not produce
enough steroid hormones (too little cortisol & sometimes, insufficient aldosterone).
- Symptoms generally come slowly & include abdominal pain, weakness, skin darkening and weight loss.
- Adrenal crisis may occur with low blood pressure, vomiting, lower back pain, and loss of consciousness. An adrenal crisis can be triggered
by stress, such as from an injury, surgery, or infection. - Tx: give cortisol
Acute adrenal insufficiency:
hypotension
QUESTION: What Addison disease causes in mouth:
pigmentation of the mucosa
Pheochromocytoma:
neuroendocrine tumor in medulla of adrenal gland à excess catecholamines (ex. epi)
Cerebral palsy (CP):
group of permanent central motor/movement disorders that appear in early childhood, caused by abnormal development
or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance, muscle tone, and posture. Signs and symptoms vary & include: poor
coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. Other problems w/ sensation, vision, hearing, swallowing, and speaking.
QUESTION: CP patient - which is not true?
a. 95% have cognitive impairment
b. all bruxism
c. increase in periodontitis
c. increase in periodontitis
Cerebral palsy during treatment.

Pt has involuntary uncoordinated movements with larynx problem?
Cerebral palsy
Common finding in a patient with cerebral athetoid palsy:
Anterior Teeth fracture
- cerebral athetoid palsy: damage to basal ganglia, has both hypertonia/hypotonia
Case: Black girl around 7 years old presents with unilateral cross bite; she had a cleft palate that was fixed. Palate in picture looks
like a triangle and laterals are towards the palate.
A) What is the pigmentation?
B) What is the most likely cause of the crossbite?
racial pigmentation
early loss of laterals, due to cleft palate

QUESTION: Pt had cleft lip and palate. Later in life during ortho analysis, what do you see?
Deficient maxilla, normal mand
Most prevalent developmental deformity in Maxilla?

Support the premax on a unilat cleft
Help speech
Support the ala of the nose.
Support the ala of the nose.
Speech problems associated with cleft lip and palate are usually the result of?
Inability of soft palate to close air flow into the nasal
area

A. The palatine processes
B. The maxillary processes
C. The palatine process with the frontonasal process

QUESTION: What surgery will a pt with cleft palate most likely need?
(mandibular set back)
- Pt get cleft lip & palate surgery. This usually cases future Class III tissues so at later age, they need to come back to move the mandible to
correct Class III (mandibular setback)
