OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to report on clinical experience in Brazil in the dental treatment and the oral conditions of a group of patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). STUDY DESIGN: The study analyzed demographic data, type of HAE, intensity of attacks, long-term and short-term prophylaxis, dental procedures, and occurrence of crises after the procedures were performed. Radiographic evaluation of the number of teeth and bone loss was also performed. RESULTS: Data from 12 patients were collected; most were women, presenting with C1-INH-HAE type I and a history of severe attacks. All patients reported use of regular medications (long-term prophylaxis), mostly attenuated androgens, to prevent/attenuate HAE attacks. These patients had several missing teeth and alveolar bone loss. Tooth extraction was the most common procedure. In half the patients, the procedures had been performed without modification in long-term prophylaxis. The others were treated with an additional prophylaxis protocol (short-term prophylaxis), particularly those who underwent tooth extraction. None of the study patients developed HAE attacks after dental procedures. CONCLUSION: The occurrence and intensity of a possible HAE attack after dental procedures are unpredictable, but with careful preliminary screening by dental and immunology teams and the use of therapeutic prophylaxis, the risk could be minimized.
