Direct bonding of unerupted teeth for orthodontic movement.

The surgical technique for exposing unerupted teeth by the use of direct bonding brackets has been described. Twenty unerupted teeth were successfully exposed and bracketed with direct bonding with a minimum of surgical trauma and postoperative complications while ensuring the preservation of tooth structure. Difficulties previously described in maintaining a dry field were obviated with a quick-setting adhesive and good suction technique.

Surgical-orthodontic management of an unerupted maxillary incisor.

Satisfactory functional and esthetic results were attained, with proper consideration of surgical, periodontal, and orthodontic principles in the treatment of a patient with an unerupted maxillary central incisor. Gingival attachment was maintained and integrity of the dental arch was restored.

Panoramic radiographic survey of dentists participating in ADA health screening programs: 1976, 1977, and 1978.

Results of the panoramic examination of dentists participating in the health evaluation program of the ADA annual sessions held at Las Vegas (1976), Miami Beach (1977), and Anaheim (1978) were reported and compared as accurately as possible with the results of the panoramic examinations of dentists taking part in the health evaluation programs of the ADA annual sessions in 1964, 1966, and 1968. The panoramic radiograph continues to serve as a diagnostic aid in dental health evaluation programs. Only general impressions may be drawn from surveys of this nature for various reasons: the inability to follow up each case with a clinical examination; the lack of correlation of findings between examiners; and the use of different criteria each year. Generally, dentists examined in the health evaluation programs in 1976, 1977, and 1978 were in good dental health.

Morbid changes of the mandible in familial polyposis of the colon.

The study was made to ascertain whether the radiographs of the mandible of patients with familial polyposis of the colon show osteomas. Orthopantomography of the mandible was taken in 10 cases of familial polyposis of the colon and 6 cases of the unaffected family members. And radiographic and histological studies were performed in another autopsied case. As a result, radiographic studies revealed sclerotic masses of the mandible in 10 of the 11 cases. In some cases, the changes were also found in the maxilla. The number of sclerotic masses ranged from 2 to 11, and they were associated with odontomas in 2 cases and impacted teeth in one case. Two of the 6 unaffected family members were found to have one or two sclerotic masses. At autopsy of a case died of cancer of the sigmoid colon, a radiographic study of the excised mandible revealed 11 sclerotic masses measuring 5 mm in diameter each, as well as one impacted tooth. A bucco-lingual cross action through the mandible in the canine area revealed central osteomas. Histological examination showed the osteomas were composed primarily of mature, lamellar bony tissue.

A rare non-syndrome case of concomitant multiple supernumerary teeth and partial anodontia.

Concomitant hypo-hyperdontia is an uncommon condition of coexistence of partial anodontia and supernumerary teeth. Its etiology is still unknown. Very few cases have been reported in the literature of this condition. Presented here is a rare and first such case of simultaneous presence of multiple supernumerary teeth and a missing tooth (canine) without any associated systemic conditions or syndromes involving both jaws.

Eruption disturbances of mandibular permanent incisors.

In this study, we analyzed 7 eruption disturbance cases of mandibular permanent incisors (5 males and 2 females), aged 5y9m to 10y4m. The etiology was divided into 3 categories: traumatic injuries (3 cases), odontomas (2 cases), supernumerary teeth (2 cases). The procedures such as removal of cause (4 cases), surgical exposure (5 cases) and traction (1 case) were done.

Survey of dental treatments for pediatric patients referred to the pediatric dental clinic of a dental school hospital.

This survey was conducted to clarify which dental treatments in children are regarded as difficult by general dentistry practitioners. The subjects were 615 children who first visited Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital from January 1995 to August 1999 with reference letters. There were 615 children in the study; 571 (92.8%) came from Chiba City where our hospital is located and the 11 regions surrounding Chiba City. The prime reasons for referral in the order of frequency were treatments of dental caries, malalignment/malocclusion, traumatized teeth, supernumerary teeth, retarded eruption/impacted teeth, abnormal direction of erupted teeth, congenitally missing teeth, prolonged retention of deciduous teeth, and abnormal frenulum. Patients with dental caries or traumatized teeth in the deciduous dentition period and those with malalignment/malocclusion, supernumerary teeth, or retarded eruption/impacted teeth in the mixed dentition period were often referred to medical organizations specializing in pediatric dentistry because of the difficulties in controlling the patients' behavior and in providing adequate treatment. The information about pediatric dental treatments considered difficult by general dentists revealed by this survey appears to be useful and needs to be incorporated in the programs for clinical training of undergraduate students and education of postgraduate students.

[Unerupted lower third molar as a cause of acute infection in soldiers].

BACKGROUND/AIM: To record the frequency of infections as complications accompanying the unerupted lower third molars and to determine if there was a significant level of the relationship between the frequency and the severity of infections and the age of patients. METHODS: This study included 100 soldiers of the Army of Serbia & Montenegro, with the unerupted third molars, of male sex, 18 to 25 years old, who were receiving clinical treatment. RESULTS: In 73% of the patients the infection was caused with the unerupted lower third molars. The highest frequency of infection was observed in the group of 20-23 years of age (75.3%). Mild infection occurred in 49 (67.1%) of the patients. CONCLUSION: The frequency of infection was significantly higher in the older patients. Because of the high frequency of the infection recorded, the unerupted lower third molars should be surgically removed before the age of 20.

Acute Disease↗

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

Binkley and Johnson first reported this syndrome in 1951. But it was in 1960, Gorlin-Goltz established the association of basal cell epithelioma, jaw cyst and bifid ribs, a combination which is now frequently known as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome as well as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS). NBCCS is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with high penetrance and variable expressivity. NBCCS is characterized by variety of cutaneous, dental, osseous, opthalmic, neurologic and sexual abnormalities. One such case of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is reported here with good illustrations.

Taurodontism in association with supernumerary teeth.

The dental, radiological, genetic and dermatoglyphic findings of an additional patient with taurodontism in association with supernumerary teeth were presented and the findings of the patient were compared with those in the literature.

Odontogenic myxofibroma: report of two cases.

We have reported the occurrence of two odontogenic mesenchymal tumors of the jaws. Though both cases had an associated impacted tooth, neither had foci of epithelial growth. Results of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological analysis in both cases were consistent with the diagnosis of a fibroma with myxomatous degeneration and thus, the diagnosis was myxofibroma.
