Síndrome de sturge-weber e seus desafios na odontologia reabilitadora: uma revisão narrativa da literatura.

Abstract

Nowadays there are several ways to rehabilitate an edentulous patient or a patient with facial deformity. In the face of rare conditions, there should always be consideration about the best way to manage the patient, aiming to deliver the best functional and aesthetic result without causing any damage. Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, congenital, non-hereditary clinical condition, which is poorly documented in the dental literature, and which compromises the individual dermatologically, neurologically, and ophthalmologically. In this paper, a narrative review of the literature on the prosthetic oral rehabilitation of patients with SWS was performed using the PubMed, BVS and Capes Journals Portal databases. The advantages of the main forms of prosthetic treatment were discussed, considering the benefits and possible risks to the patient and the interaction of treatments with the syndrome symptoms. It was concluded that the presence of gingival hyperplasia, surgical risk for vascular lesions, visual impairment, and undesirable neurological deficit for routine prosthetic hygiene, as well as difficulties in the execution of all clinical phases of rehabilitation may characterize the oral or maxillofacial rehabilitation of patients with SWS.
