Dental treatment of a xeroderma pigmentosum patient under deep sedation

Kseroderma pigmentozum (XP), otozomal resesif geçişli bir hastalık olup ultraviyole ışığa karşı aşırı hassasiyet, erken cilt yaşlanması, anormal pigmentasyon ve metabolik bozukluk ile karakterizedir. Bu makalede; diş hekimliğinde XP tanısı konan hastaları tedavi ederken alınması gereken önlemler vurgulanarak bir XP hastasının dental tedavisi anlatılmıştır. Kooperasyon kurulamadığı için dental tedavisi derin sedasyon uygulamasıyla yapılan hastanın koruyucu tedavi protokolü altında takibi devam etmektedir. XP hastalarının dental tedavisi öncesi tedavi yapılacak odanın hazırlanmasından kullanılacak tüm ışık kaynaklarının UV ışın bakımından ölçülmesine kadar dikkat edilmesi gereken birçok unsur bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca bu hastaların düzenli olarak diş hekimi kontrolüne gelemeyecekleri göz önüne alındığında düzenli fırçalama, diş ipi kullanımı ve floridli gargaralar ile oral hijyenin sağlanması önemlidir.

Kseroderma pigmentosumlu bir hastanın derin sedasyon altında diş tedavisi

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by hypersensitivity to ultraviolet radia- tion, premature skin aging, abnormal pigmentation and metabolic defects. This article presents dental treatment of a XP patient to highlight the precautions the dental practitioner must take when treating these cases. Because adequate cooperation could not be obtained for this patient, dental treatment was performed under deep sedation and the patient was placed on a preventive protocol. A number of issues must be considered when providing dental treatment to patients with XP, including adequate office preparation prior to the patient s arrival, testing every light source that the patient could be exposed to during the visit. It should also be noted that patients with XP often do not maintain routine dental appointments; therefore, meticulous oral hygiene that includes proper brushing, flossing and fluoride rinsing is advisable.
