Prune Belly's syndrome is a congenital alteration that can lead to chronic renal failure and metabolic alterations as secondary hyperparathyroidism. The present case describes a male who suffers chronic renal failure due to Prune Belly's syndrome and presents oral findings like hipoplasia of enamel, radiographic signs of osteopenia in the upper maxilla and absence of carious lesions. Radiographic analyses showed a delay in the biological age in the patient. Preventive treatment was offered to the patient.
Objetivo: Identificar los principales factores asociados a la recesión de la papila interdental de incisivos centrales superiores. Material y métodos: Se analizó una muestra no probabilística de 86 pacientes de la sección de Periodoncia e Implantes del Departamento de Estomatología del Hospital Central de la Fuerza Aérea del Perú. El tipo de estudio fue observacional, correlacional simple, transversal y prospectivo. Se evaluaron clínicamente factores como forma coronal dentaria y biotipo gingival; y radiográficamente distancias de la unión cemento esmalte proximal al punto de contacto interdentario (UCEp-PC), punta de la papila al punto de contacto interdentario (PP-PC), cresta ósea al punto de contacto interdentario (CO-PC), cresta ósea a la unión cemento esmalte proximal (CO-UCEp), ancho interdental (AI), ancho de la cresta ósea (AC) y ancho de la punta de la papila (APP). Resultados: En todos los pacientes de estudio, el nivel de recesión, CO-PC y APP fueron predictores individuales significativos (p
