[The narrowing of the support area by premature tooth loss and caries in various abnormal alignments].

On the basis of the findings from 1470 patients referred for orthodontic treatment, the authors analyse, for various types of anomalies, the sequelae of untreated proximal caries and premature extractions in the supporting areas of the upper and the lower jaw. The results obtained indicate that the premature loss of deciduous teeth causes, in case of malalignment associated with lack of space, secondary alterations.

Use of a synthetic bone substitute to retard molariform tooth drift after maxillary tooth loss in ponies.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of alveolar bone substitute on post-extraction drift of maxillary cheek teeth in ponies. STUDY DESIGN: In vivo longitudinal experimental study. ANIMALS: Five ponies (5-7 years) with a healthy dentition. METHODS: Both maxillary 4th premolar teeth (Triadan 08) were surgically removed. One alveolus was filled with a biocompatible non-resorbable bone substitute (Bioplant 24), whereas the other healed by second intention. A polyvinylsiloxane plug and spring wire isolated the bone substitute from the oral environment. Pathologic changes to dentition and adjacent soft tissue were recorded. Tooth drift was calculated after 1 and 2 years. RESULTS: At 1 month, bone substitute material was incorporated into healthy tissue. Tooth drift was observed but differed significantly between control and treated sides at 2 years (P<.01). For both techniques, tooth drift differed significantly between years 1 and 2 (P<.001). Total drift in control arcades for year 1 was 10.69+/-2.12 mm and for year 2 was 9.08+/-0.87 mm, whereas for bone substitute arcades it was 9.90+/-1.60 mm for year 1 and 5.60+/-1.78 mm for year 2. CONCLUSIONS: Partial tooth replacement therapy after maxillary P4 extraction provided good healing in the immediate post-surgical phase. Alveolar filling with bone substitute material significantly slowed post-extraction tooth drift but did not stop it completely. Clinical Relevance- Important changes occur in equine dentition after maxillary cheek teeth removal. Further longer term observations are needed to fully validate study findings.

Coffin-Lowry syndrome and premature tooth loss: a case report.

Coffin-Lowry syndrome was first described by Coffin in 1966 and later by Lowry in 1971. Several oral manifestations have been described previously. We report a case with additional information on the histology of prematurely exfoliated teeth.

Restoring palatal tooth loss with composite resin, aided by increased vertical height.

Loss of palatal enamel and dentine of maxillary anterior teeth often leads to fractures of incisal edges. This phenomenon has always presented dentists with a demanding challenge. An ultraconservative approach using composite resin onlays together with an increase in vertical height is presented. Three cases illustrating the technique are reported.

[Anterior tooth injury/anterior tooth loss--the epidemiological and orthodontic aspects].

Trauma to incisors, especially loss of permanent anterior teeth, often effects aesthetics, function, psychology and phonetics. The following article describes the frequency, cause and effect of incisors lost as a result of the trauma. The treatment possibilities are discussed with respect to the specific orthodontic considerations. In addition, the indications for space closure by orthodontic or prosthetic procedures are discussed.

Modern solutions for limited tooth loss in the dental arch.

Replacement of small numbers of teeth in the dental arch has traditionally required the construction of a conventional bridge or a removable partial denture where sound reasons exist to favour restoration. Two alternative treatments now increase the choice; resin-bonded bridgework and implant-supported prostheses. A discussion of their indications and the principles of their use are given.

Tooth loss and subluxation in the primary dentition: a twelve-year follow-up case report.

The case of a five-year-old child is reported, who suffered dento-alveolar injury including subluxation of the right upper lateral incisor and avulsion of the upper central incisors and left upper lateral incisor and laceration in the mucosa. The case was followed for 12 years until complete root formation and alignment of the anterior permanent teeth.

Tooth loss, attrition and temporomandibular joint changes in a Romano-British population.

Mandibular condyles and temporal fossae were studied in a large Romano-British collection of skulls. The size and shape of the condyles differed from those in previous populations studied. Changes in form or shape of the condyles were age-related and could be correlated to the number of teeth lost on the same side and on the contralateral side. No statistically significant correlations were seen between attrition and condylar form and surface change.
