“…However, studies focusing on this issue are still scarce in the literature. [4][5][6][7][8] As a result, the possibilities of interation with the literature are limited, making it often necessary to discuss the results from data observed in child. 23 Thus, unlike studies that analyzed a similar age range in the general population, [24][25][26][27] the occurrence of dental caries was not observed in this study.…”

“…2 Some clinical findings in children with microcephaly associated with ZIKV have already been published, such as brain changes, neurological abnormalities, 3 bone and craniofacial deformities. [4][5][6][7][8] Changes have also been reported in children with microcephaly caused by other causes, for example, impaired vision and hearing, delayed cognitive, motor and speech development 8,9 and epilepsy. 10 However, there are few studies describing the types and severity of oral changes in children with microcephaly associated with ZIKV.…”

Introduction: Children with microcephaly as a result of fetal exposure to the Zika virus (ZIKV) may experience brain changes, neurological abnormalities, bone and craniofacial deformities. Objective: The objective of this study was to describe oral problems and oral health habits involving children in early childhood with microcephaly associated with fetal exposure to ZIKV. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of children with microcephaly, exposed to ZIKV during the pregnancy, attended at the Neuropediatrics outpatient clinic of a reference center in Salvador-BA. Clinical examination of oral conditions and interviews with mothers/ guardians were performed to obtain sociodemographic data and lifestyle habits. A descriptive analysis of the variables and exploratory analysis of factors associated with defects in enamel development (DDE) were done using Pearson's chi square and a significance level of 5%. Results: 74 children participated in the study and a higher frequency of the following oral conditions was observed: delayed eruption chronology (100%), dental biofilm (55.88%) and enamel defects (DDE) (22.06%). Bohn nodules (6.85%), micro dents (2.70%) and ectopically positioned dental elements (1.35%) were less frequent. Only one of them showed incipient caries lesion (1.47%). The occurrence of DDE was more frequent among those with ogival palate, normal weight at birth and who did not have an eruptive delay (p <0.05). In oral habits, 52.70% used a pacifier, 50% feeding at night, 66.22% used sugar and 52.24% brushed teeth before bed. Conclusion: Monitoring oral health conditions is necessary to minimize oral health problems in these children.

“…While Zika virus is primarily known for its association with neurological and fetal complications, emerging evidence suggests that oral manifestations may also be a part of the disease's clinical picture. The oral manifestations of Zika virus infection can include various symptoms and manifestations, including [6][7][8] : 1. Oral Ulcers: Some individuals with Zika virus infection have reported the presence of oral ulcers, which are painful open sores in the mouth.…”

“…While Zika virus infection is often associated with various systemic and neurological manifestations, there is evidence to suggest a potential association between the virus and oral health. This literature review aims to explore the role of oral health professionals in addressing Zika virus infection, prevention, and management [6][7][8][9] .…”

This literature review examines the role of oral health professionals in the context of Zika virus infection, prevention, and management. Zika virus has raised concerns about potential transmission through bodily fluids, including saliva, prompting a need to consider its implications for oral health care. The review explores the role of oral health professionals in preventing transmission in dental settings, educating patients, supporting prenatal oral health care, and contributing to broader public health efforts. The findings highlight the multifaceted role of oral health professionals in addressing Zika virus infection and its potential impact on oral health.

IntroductionDeciduous teeth eruption is connected to children's growth and development. In Brazil, with the increase in the occurrence of children born with microcephaly associated to exposure to Zika virus, studies about orofacial alterations were necessary.ObjectiveDescribe the chronology and sequence of deciduous teeth in children with microcephaly due to the fetal exposure to Zika virus.MethodologyA cross‐sectional study involving 74 children of a neuropediatric reference unit in Salvador, Bahia, in 2017 was conducted. Through use of secondary data, interviews with mothers and children's exam, the population was characterized, the chronology and sequence of deciduous teeth eruption was registered, and the analysis of the variables was proceeded.ResultsThe first eruption happened between 4 and 17 months of age and 52.70% had a delay in the eruption of incisors. The average eruption time for the maxilla varies from 17.92 (16.56‐19.28; 95% CI) to 20.43 (19.35‐21.51; 95% CI) months, and the jaw from 11.57 (6.85‐18.99; 95% CI) to 20.20 (19.09‐21.31; 95% CI) months. In 77.94% of population, the eruption of the first teeth was in the lower arch and in 33.82%, molars and/or canines erupted before the incisors.ConclusionsThere were alteration in the chronology and sequence of deciduous teeth eruption.
