Port-Wine Stains’ Orodental Manifestations and Complications: A Systematic Review
Background/Objectives: Port-wine stains (PWSs), also known as naevus flammeus or capillary malformations, are congenital cutaneous lesions, typically located in the head/neck area. The manifestations of PWSs include aesthetic and functional impairments due to soft and hard tissue modifications. Stur...

| description | Background/Objectives: Port-wine stains (PWSs), also known as naevus flammeus or capillary malformations, are congenital cutaneous lesions, typically located in the head/neck area. The manifestations of PWSs include aesthetic and functional impairments due to soft and hard tissue modifications. Sturge–Weber syndrome is characterised by additional neuro-ocular manifestations. This systematic review aimed to identify and overview the orodental manifestations of PWSs. Methods: Several databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library) were searched using keywords for PWSs and oral and dental manifestations. The results were centralised, deduplicated, and selected in a two-step sequence. Data were extracted using pre-defined extraction forms and represented graphically and tabulated. The Newcastle–Ottawa and Joanna Briggs Institute scales were used for quality assessment. Results: Out of 884 results, 43 studies were selected for inclusion. Eleven studies investigated patients diagnosed with PWSs, while thirty-two studies investigated SWS patients. Regarding study designs, eight studies were retrospective, one was cross-sectional, two were case series, and thirty-two were case reports. The most frequently mentioned manifestations were gingival hypertrophy, lip hypertrophy, mucosal or gingival staining, malocclusion, gingivitis or gingival bleeding, and facial asymmetry. Conclusions: Due to the rarity of this pathology, the orodental manifestations of PWSs are not widely known to dentists. Soft tissue hypertrophy, malocclusion, and bony hypertrophy are significant concerns that need to be addressed during treatment. |
