Treatment
The treatment of pediatric patients with MS follows the following tenets
21-24
:
Institute a disease-modifying treatment (DMT) as soon as the diagnosis of pediatric MS is confirmed. This is a highly relapsing form of disease, and early effective treatment may prevent relapses and relapse-associated disability (Table 20.4). Consideration of a highly effective DMT balancing safety and tolerability is important in this population.
Monitor DMT response clinically and with annual MRI scans.
25
Appropriate bloodwork, screening, and
monitoring tests may be required for each DMT. Monitor adherence to therapy continually. Adherence
may be challenging in the setting of miseducation about the expectations for DMTs, unaddressed side effects, busy family schedules, and travel/college. 26 In the case of nonadherence, schedule a visit to discuss and address contributing issues and consider switching if not addressable.
Switch treatment if there is evidence of intractable nonadherence, intolerance, or treatment failure.
27
Treatment failure may be defined 1 to 2 new lesions or attacks occurring within a 12-month period. One must account for an approximately 3-month period for a new DMT to take effect, and consider a rebaselined MRI at that time. The tolerance for new lesions or attacks versus switching is a discussion between the neurologist and family, with an informed discussion about the risks or benefits of either approach.
Consider symptomatic treatments as needed. These may include antidepressants, fatigue medications, and bladder management.
Consider contraceptives in sexually active teenagers. This may be a challenging conversation, but important,

because many DMTs may have adverse effects on a pregnancy and some are teratogens.

Transitional Care and College Planning
Most children with MS will receive a diagnosis during their teenage years and thus may be eligible to transition to adult care within a few years after diagnosis. Our practice is to continue to follow these patients in the pediatric setting up to age 20 to 23 years to provide educational and psychosocial support during this critical period. Transitions to an adult neurologist should include continuation or transition of key support services including school support, psychosocial care, and subspecialty care (urology, physical therapy). Often, meeting with the adult neurologist before transition helps to
https://t.me/medicina_free
ease the anxiety of a new clinical setting. Young adults are encouraged to start to participate in their own care early onset and includes making appointments, monitoring medication adherence, and filling prescriptions.
Transition to college requires preparation and consideration of the specific needs of a young adult with MS. Discussion with the patient and family should include consideration of college location, proximity to medical/neurological care, dormitory conditions including privacy, temperature control, and the ability to administer medications. Most colleges have an American for Disabilities Act (ADA) office on campus, and patients with MS should be encouraged to establish a relationship with the ADA office, which can provide academic and legal support.
Resources for Families
There are a number of organizations that offer resources to assist and support children and families affected by pediatric MS. These include the International Pediatric MS Study Group (www.ipmssg.org), the National MS Society (www.nmss.org), and other national organizations.

Dental and Oral Health Considerations in Multiple Sclerosis
Danielle E. Currier Gwendolyn S. Reeve Marsha E. Rubin
Introduction
Dental clinicians are essential members of every patient’s health care team. They play an integral role in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to ensure that oral health impacts the overall health of patients positively. Long-term challenges of multiple sclerosis (MS) have implications in the motor, sensory, and cognitive functions of these patients. The ability to maintain proper hygiene, control medication-induced changes in the oral environment, prevent infection, and preserve function can greatly affect the well-being of the patient beyond the context of their oral health.
An understanding of common symptoms associated with MS is essential. Temporomandibular disorders, parafunctional habits, facial palsies, and dysphagia are commonly seen among these patients. To a lesser but still significant extent, paroxysmal pain syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia (TN) can affect individuals with MS.
1-3
These symptoms should be
distinguished from symptoms of a dental origin, and in some instances, they can be the first sign of MS in the undiagnosed patient. When a dental source cannot be identified, the patient should be referred to a specialist for medical workup. The oral health care provider should help reduce pain, diagnose infections early on, and educate the patient on individualized long-term dental care.
https://t.me/medicina_free
This chapter will discuss ways the oral health care provider should be involved with the treatment and management of patients with MS from the start of their care. It will review common oral symptoms related to the disease and medications to treat the disease, provide an overview of TN, review anesthetic considerations, discuss treatment considerations in patients on immunosuppressants/immunomodulators, corticosteroids, and bisphosphonates, and provide suggestions for treatment of patients in the more advanced stages of MS.
Oral Disease Prevention and Care of the MS Patient
Dental clinicians should be in communication with the patient’s other health care providers from the beginning of the patient’s care. A thorough medical history should be obtained from the patient or health care agent and confirmed with the MS specialist. It should include the clinically active or nonactive state and type of MS, a review of systems, a list of medications the patient is currently on as well as an understanding of the side effects, a record of past bisphosphonate use, and recent blood workups (which will be elaborated on in future sections).
Next, an oral hygiene and caries risk assessment should be performed. A thorough discussion on prevention, dietary counseling, and a review of patient goals and expectations should be had with the patient and family members. Some studies suggest that patients living with MS have a higher incidence of tooth loss, silent infection, and caries.
2,4,5
Most
dental disease is preventable, and therefore, this does not need to be the case. The biggest risk factors for dental disease are challenges in motor coordination for proper oral hygiene and difficulties with access to care. In one study, 48.5% of individuals with MS reported their health as poor, and of those, only 56% reported having seen their dentist in the last 6 months; of these, some reported difficulty in accessing the building (21%) and the waiting room (11%), while only a few (38%) reported suitable parking and less than half (48%) suitable toilet facilities. 6 The optimal time to treat patients is
https://t.me/medicina_free
when the disease is clinically inactive, when symptoms are minimal. Even as the disease progresses, there are no contraindications to treatment; however, modification to treatment modalities should be considered. Dental management should be adjusted over time to each person’s needs (see Tables 21.1 and 21.2). Suggestions for treatment of the patient with more advanced MS will be reviewed in the last section of this chapter.

Common findings related to immunosuppression and xerostomia. Prescribe proper antiviral or antifungal medication for fungal or viral infections
Table 21.2
Considerations in Treatment and Improving Access to Care of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Provide wheelchair accessibility and staff assistance from the entrance to the operatories Provide bathroom breaks before and during procedures for those with urinary incontinence Provide sources of transportation assistance Schedule morning visits as fatigue tends to be more pronounced in the afternoon
Consider shorter appointments for more symptomatic patients and more frequent recalls
Consider different levels of sedation for treatment depending on anxiety, neurological symptoms, or severity of the disease
Careful use of isolation methods and adequate evacuation as respiratory muscle and gag reflex impairment become more pronounced. Use a rubber dam for proper isolation if patient can adequately breathe through the nose. Use a bite block. Treat these patients in a semisitting position
Understand existing trigeminal neuralgia or facial anesthesia and avoid triggering episode
Consider dental implants for fixed prosthesis or to improve function of removable prosthesis
Use of resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI) restorations and cements for biocompatibility and fluoride-releasing properties
Infections in MS Exacerbation of Symptoms
There is sufficient evidence that infection can add to the underlying abnormal immunological response of these patients, which can increase the risk of exacerbation of symptoms.
9,10
No studies have been conducted on the
association between dental infections and relapse specifically; however, the activation of the innate immune system by
https://t.me/medicina_free
microbial products in MS patients has been proposed to be linked to the induction of MS relapse. 11 Systemic infection increases T-cell proliferation and proflammatory interleukins, leading to higher levels of inflammatory response.
11,12
A
number of bacterial and viral strains have been suggested to have a correlation on worsening some MS activity. Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A, for example, has been suggested to be one risk factor for exacerbations through activation of disease modulating T-cells. 13 Evidence has also demonstrated that upper respiratory infections have been linked to subsequent relapses.
12,14
Relapses are a distinctive characteristic of MS, and although they are usually followed by a period of clinical inactivity, residual side effects cause persistent functional impairment, impacting the quality of life of these individuals. Management and reduction of potential causes associated with MS relapses is important, as it may help to shorten and lessen the disability. Furthermore, patients on steroids or disease-modifying drugs may have a decreased ability to fight opportunistic infections or dental infections. Oral-facial infections should be identified and prevented early on. Patients with maxillary tooth and sinus pain or ear pain of nondental origin should be referred for evaluation if an upper respiratory infection is suspected. Antibiotics, antivirals, and/or antifungals should be judiciously prescribed as needed, and necessary treatment should be carried out early on. Patients with any suspicion of infection should be followed up with.
Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Medications and Oral Health
Although there is no cure for MS, the focus of treatment is to reduce the number of relapses and slow the disease process. The most common medications are steroids for treatment of acute attacks, disease-modifying therapies to suppress the activity of the disease, and symptomatic therapy for MS side effects, such as muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and anticholinergics. It is important to be aware of drug interactions when using medications in dentistry, and
