Journal Title: Bezmiâlem Science - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal lipid storage disorder with accompanying symptoms including hepatosplenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. Delayed or extensive dental treatment may need to be delivered under general anesthesia and the management of such treatments in these children may require advanced medical support including intensive care (IC). Two children with NPD type B who underwent dental treatment with general anesthesia and their post-operative follow-ups requiring in IC are were presented. Patients with NPD may present with fragile blood clots in extracted tooth socket and should be subjected to strict bleeding control standards; especially the ones that may require further respiratory assistance since oral intubation is an invasive application to the oral surgical site.
