Primary tooth ankylosis: report of case with histological analysis.

Two primary molars in infraclusion showing clinical and radiographic signs of ankylosis, were subject to histological examination by bright field and polarization microscopy. The roots revealed signs of ongoing resorptive and reparative processes and in some areas dentin with signs of resorption-or repair cementum-were fused with simple lamellar or osteonic bone. These results suggest that ankylosis of primary molars can result from a disturbance of root resorption, with repair processes prevailing over resorptive ones and leading to excessive deposition of bone besides cementum-as a consequence of bone-inductive properties of dentin.

Craniofacial changes following early prosthetic treatment in a case of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with complete anodontia.

The authors describe early prosthetic treatment in a case of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with complete anodontia. Craniofacial changes were analyzed by means of Ricketts' cephalometric analysis and superimposition methods. Early prosthetic treatment for complete anodontia determined a backward-downward rotation of the mandible with consequent normal positioning of the chin in the space, normalization in lower facial height, reduction in convexity of the face, and improvement in facial esthetics. Superimposition methods demonstrated that the direction of growth of both the maxilla and the mandible was progressing favorably. Improvements in esthetics and in the function of masticatory and perioral muscles, together with their positive psychological impact, were also discussed.
