Dental Case Study Introduction The patient in the case that is presented is a Latino male just over 13 years old. He has sickle cell anemia, and suffers from an intellectual disability. This paper reviews the case study from a dental health perspective. What is sickle cell anemia? The genesis of this disease is found within the abnormal hemoglobin in the blood stream; the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body change shape when the individual has sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin S has the effect of changing the shape of the red blood cells so that they become "…fragile, sickle-shaped" and they bring less oxygen to the tissues of the body (National Library of Medicine). Moreover, the shape of the changed red blood cells means that cells can become "stuck more easily in small blood vessels" and they also break into many pieces which of course reduces the amount of oxygen to the body's tissues. The patient suffers from fatigue, from a rapid heart rate, his eyesight suffers, he has ulcers on the lower legs in many instances and his ability to think is reduced (National Library of Medicine). Painful episodes may last for several days; they are called "crises" and when a sickle cell patient has a crisis he is in severe pain (the bones in the back and chest are especially vulnerable to these attacks) (National Library of Medicine).
