Retrospective survey of dental anomalies and pathology detected on maxillary occlusal radiographs in children between 3 and 5 years of age.

PURPOSE: Radiographs play an important role in the diagnosis of anomalies and pathology of the oral structures of young children as well as in the interception and management of developmental problems in the dentition. The occlusal film, commonly indicated in the young child, is a helpful tool in establishing a baseline and in revealing certain region-specific dental concerns in a timely fashion. The purpose of this retrospective study was to perform a comprehensive examination of maxillary occlusal radiographs in a clinical pediatric population and to determine the prevalence of dental anomalies and pathology in the premaxilla in children between 3 and 5 years of age. METHODS: Radiographs of healthy preschool children (236 males and 264 females), who received their initial examination at the University of Texas-Houston Pediatric Dentistry Graduate Clinic during 1997 and 1998, were reviewed independently by two pediatric dentists, using a 2X magnifying lens and a standard dental light box. Interexaminer discrepancies were resolved by consultation and mutual agreement. RESULTS: Ninety-two (18%) showed no evidence of dental caries, restorations, current pathological conditions, or other anomalies. Frequencies of anomalies such as congenitally missing and supernumerary teeth were consistent with other reports. CONCLUSIONS: These observations emphasize the importance of obtaining intraoral radiographs on preschool children who are in apparent good dental health.

Electrocoagulation extends the indication of calcium hydroxide pulpotomy in the primary dentition.

The primary molars received calcium hydroxide pulpotomy with or without the electrocoagulation procedure. Teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in success rate between calcium hydroxide pulpotomies, with and without the electrocoagulation procedure, either clinically or radiographically. These results indicate that a pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide is an effective treatment for cariously exposed pulp in primary molars and electrocoagulation can extend its indication.

Central giant cell granuloma of the jaws: a clinical and radiologic study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to present the clinical and radiological features of 27 cases of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was carried out on 27 cases diagnosed as CGCG, ranging in age from 8 to 70 years. The patient's age, sex, location of the lesion, expansion caused by the lesion, and greatest diameter were evaluated. Radiographs and radiological descriptions were studied for the features of border definition, radiopacity, locularity, root resorption, tooth displacement, and tooth association. Data were analyzed with Chi square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney U-test, and the Student t-test. RESULTS: It was determined 89% of CGCG occurred prior to the age of 40. Seventy-eight percent of the cases were females. In addition, it was observed that these lesions occurred primarily in the mandible mostly anterior to the molar region. It was determined most of the lesions were multilocular. Unilocular lesions averaged 23.75 mm and multilocular lesions were 53.00 mm. In 24 (89%) cases regular borders were seen, and in three cases diffuse borders were observed. There was bone expansion in 44% of the cases. The cases with bone expansion were 60.00 mm in average size, and the cases without bone expansion were 24.00 mm in average size. Seventy-eight percent of lesions were associated with teeth, and there was tooth displacement in 43% of these lesions. The lesions with tooth displacement were 18.33 mm in average size, and the lesions without tooth displacement were 44.00 mm in average size. CONCLUSIONS: It was determined there is a significant correlation between the locularity, tooth displacement, and bone expansion with the size of the CGCG.

Unusual radiographic presentations. Report of five cases.

Five examples of radiographic oddities, culled from the records of private dental practitioners, are presented. Two cases feature radiographic manifestations of systemic disease, and three cases display anomalous oral findings. Each illustration is furnished with a short narrative and interpretation.

[Autotransplantation of an impacted supernumerary tooth].

The Authors report on a case of interesting tooth transplantation using a supernumerary in the site of a lower premolar root affected by periapical granuloma. Irrespective of local unfavourable conditions, the good result of surgical operation is demonstrated by up to now vitality and stability of transplanted tooth.

[Persistence of deciduous canines in an adult patient].

The Author presents a case of permanence of two canine deciduous teeth in the upper jaw of a grown-up person for the absence of a side incisor and three premolars. Furthermore he presents personal histological findings of the pulp of two teeth and the biological meanings are discussed.

[The marginal periodontium of impacted upper canines. Evaluation following various methods of surgical approach and orthodontic procedures].

The marginal periodontium of 29 impacted upper canines and several aspects of their treatment have been studied. The situation has been analysed after treatment according to 3 methods of surgery and orthodontics: a) excision and active eruption, b) excision and passive eruption and c) replaced flap and active eruption. Many aspects regarding the choice and course of treatment depend primarily on individual data of the patient and on the location of impaction. With surgical exposure by excision some mucogingival problems seem to appear, especially for vestibular impactions. In those cases the surgical techniques using replaced or deplaced flaps seem to be more indicated to preserve the periodontal tissues.
