RESUMEN
La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica es un síndrome genético, caracterizado principalmente por hipohidrosis, hipotricosis e hipodoncia. Esta enfermedad es asociada con hipodoncia y atrofia de los procesos alveolares. El aspecto facial y la ausencia dental múltiple puede ser causa de problemas de socialización por parte de los niños afectados. El propósito de este reporte es describir las características y el manejo odontológico y protésico de un paciente masculino de 5 años de edad diagnosticado con el síndrome.
Hypodriotic ectotermal dysplasia is a genetic syndrome characterized mainly by hypodriosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia. This disesase is associated with hypodontia and atrophy of the alveolar process. The facial aspect and the multiple missing teeth can cause problems of socialization of the affected children. The aim of this report is to describe features and dental and prosthetic management of a 5-year-old boy, diagnosed with the syndrome.

La esclerodermia es una rara enfermedad que afecta los tejidos de origen mesenquimatoso y ectodérmico. Se caracteriza por la aparición de alteraciones inflamatorias y vasculares, además de esclerosis en la piel y órganos de los sistemas respiratorio, cardiovascular y gastrointestinal. El propósito del presente reporte es describir el caso de una niña de 4 años con esclerodermia localizada, sus manifestaciones clínicas, datos epidemiológicos y sugerencias de manejo odontológico de los pacientes pediátricos con esta rara enfermedad.
Scleroderma is a rare disorder that affects mesenchymal and ectodermal tissues. It is characterized of vascular and inflammatory alterations and sclerosis in the skin and organs of respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a 4 year old girl with localized scleroderma, its clinical manifestations, epidemiological data and recommendations of dental management for the pediatric patients with this rare disease.

The objective of this study was to identify cultivable microorganisms from primary teeth with necrotic pulps. This experimental study included 21 patients of both sexes between 4 and 7 years of age with necrotic pulps in primary teeth. Twenty-one maxillary and mandibular molars containing at least 1 necrotic canal, an abscess or sinus tract, one or more radiolucent areas in the furcation or periapical region, teeth having at least two thirds of root length, and carious lesions directly exposed to the oral environment were included. After antisepsis of the oral cavity, anesthesia of the affected tooth, and isolation and disinfection of the operative field, 3 sterile absorbent paper points were sequentially placed for 30 seconds for the collection of samples. The samples were immediately processed in an anaerobic chamber, and all isolated microorganisms were identified. Anaerobic species (anaerobic facultative and moderate anaerobes) were isolated in all root canals; 68.4% of root canal samples studied showed a polymicrobial nature. Most of the isolate consisted of Bifidobacterium Spp2 and Streptococcus intermedius. Other less frequently encountered species were Actinomyces israelii, Bifidobacterium spp 1, Clostridium spp, and Candida albicans. Results indicate the existence of combinations of bacterial species in root canal infections of the primary dentition with necrotic pulps, anaerobic bacteria predominating.
