Abstract

Introduction: Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) was described by Edward Treacher Collins in 1900, it is an autosomal genetic disorder, which causes otological, dental and ophthalmic malformations. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine the oral and psychosocial problems that occur in children with SCD. Materials and methods: a qualitative approach was presented in this systematic review. To obtain data, 34 articles were used, the variables evaluated were: Psychosocial situations, Facial deformations, Oral anomalies, Problems in psychomotor development and Oral treatments. Results: It was described that among the psychosocial situations that have the greatest impact on their quality of life are low self-esteem and insecurity. It could also be determined that facial deformities play a significant role in their psychomotor functioning. With regard to oral anomalies, the most frequent were anomalies in craniofacial growth and malocclusions. Respiratory and hearing difficulties were described in psychomotor development difficulties. Finally, in oral treatments, maxillofacial surgeries, orthodontics and caries restorations were detailed as the most common. Conclusion: the psychosocial situations that these patients experience affect their quality of life and intervene a lot in their social relationships due to their craniofacial deformations that affect their occlusion, sight, hearing and speech. They need disciplinary treatment from an early age in order to cope with society.
