Development of the dentition in cleidocranial dysplasia.

The purpose of the present investigation was to describe the formation, maturation and eruption of the dentition, including supernumerary teeth in a sample of patients with cleidocranial dysplasia. The dentition was evaluated from orthopantomograms, intraoral radiographs, cephalometric films, surgically removed teeth and intraoral photographs in 19 patients (9 men, 10 women), aged 3.5 to 34 years. Formation of primary teeth was normal, whereas all patients but one had supernumerary permanent teeth. Frequency of supernumerary teeth ranged from 22% in the maxillary incisor region to 5% in the molar regions. Supernumerary teeth were formed lingually and occlusally to the normal teeth. Maturation of the primary dentition was normal, while permanent teeth were delayed from 1 to 4 yr. Supernumerary teeth were delayed about 4 years in relation to normal permanent teeth. Eruption of primary teeth was normal, whereas all patients had severe eruption problems of permanent teeth. It was hypothesized that the dental lamina for both primary and permanent dentition is normal, but does not resolve completely and therefore may form supernumerary teeth. Abnormalities of tooth morphology is related to inadequate space and arrested eruption. Delayed or arrested eruption is probably caused by diminished resorption of bone and of primary teeth and to the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth.

Pulp canal obliteration in an unerupted permanent incisor following trauma to its primary predecessor: a case report.

Trauma to a primary tooth may result in damage to the underlying developing permanent tooth bud because of the close proximity between the root of the primary tooth and its permanent successor. We report an unusual case where injury to the primary dentition resulted in pulp canal obliteration (PCO) of a permanent maxillary central incisor prior to its eruption. The other permanent maxillary central incisor was diagnosed as malformed because of trauma to the primary dentition at an earlier age. The occurrences of PCO or crown malformation dose not routinely disrupt the eruption of those teeth. Periodic assessment is required to determine the need for endodontic intervention.

A case of severe vestibular root angulation.

In this article, we describe the appearance and management of an impacted permanent tooth with severe vestibular root angulation. In addition, the possible origin of this type of root malformation as well as some of their epidemiologic aspects are discussed.

Complicated crown fracture of an unerupted permanent tooth--a case report.

Trauma to primary teeth may result in direct damage to underlying developing permanent teeth because of the close relationship that exists between the apices of the primary teeth and their permanent successors. Injuries to developing teeth have been classified into ten different categories, using a classification that is largely based on developmental alterations to the permanent teeth. However, this classification does not include other types of trauma that may occur to developing teeth, such as crown fractures. Although apparently rare, such injuries can occur by direct contact of the impacting object with a developing tooth, as illustrated by the following case report.

Malformation in the primary and permanent dentitions following trauma prior to tooth eruption: a case report.

Dento-facial injuries that occur prior to the eruption of teeth in the primary dentition are rare, but can result in damage to the primary dentition. We report a rare case where an injury to the anterior maxilla and mandible of an infant prior to primary tooth eruption resulted in hypoplasia, displacement and impaction of the primary dentition and damage to a developing permanent tooth.

Surgical and orthodontic treatment of an impacted permanent incisor: case report.

This case report presented a combined surgical/orthodontic treatment of an impacted permanent incisor of a 10-year-old boy. Trauma to the primary dentition caused the impaction of the maxillary left permanent central incisor. Application of push coil spring between the adjacent teeth created space for the impacted tooth. A button with an extension of ligature wire was bonded to the maxillary left permanent central incisor to bring it into the arch. The maxillary left permanent central incisor was brought to its proper position after 16 months of active orthodontic treatment.

An unusual developmental disturbance of an unerupted permanent incisor due to trauma to its predecessor - a case report.

Developmental disturbances of unerupted permanent tooth result from trauma to primary tooth as there is a close proximity between the root of the primary tooth and its permanent successor. The damage to the unerupted permanent tooth occurs by the transmission of traumatic forces to the permanent tooth germ. In the present case, however, a developmental disturbance on the permanent maxillary central incisor resulting from a direct effect of the inversely intruded primary maxillary central incisor is presented. The intruded tooth was extracted under general anesthesia. Upon eruption of the permanent central incisor, a localized crown malformation along with enamel hypoplasia which was not classified as a developmental disturbance before was observed. The damaged sites were restored with a light-cured composite resin.

An epidemiological study of supernumerary primary teeth in Japanese children: a review of racial differences in the prevalence.

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the prevalence of supernumerary primary teeth in Japanese children, we evaluated this prevalence in a sample of 8122 children aged 3-6 years. Furthermore, we undertook a statistical comparison of the findings of the present study with those of previous investigations on the prevalence of supernumerary primary teeth in Japanese, Chinese and Caucasian children. SUBJECTS: The subjects used in the study consisted of 8122 children aged 3-6 years (4102 boys and 4020 girls). The children were examined in kindergartens. METHODS: The prevalence of supernumerary primary teeth was recorded by visual inspection. Statistical analysis was carried out using the chi 2 test. RESULTS: Four cases of supernumerary primary teeth were found among the children examined, and thus the prevalence was 0.05%. All of the supernumerary primary teeth were located in the maxillary lateral incisor area. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence in a sample of 8122 Japanese children was 0.05% and that in a combined sample of 65,068 Japanese children was 0.06%.

Compound maxillary odontoma in a young German shepherd dog.

A three-month-old, male German shepherd dog was admitted with a facial mass of two months' duration. Clinical examination showed a round mass, 3 cm in diameter, in the left infraorbital area. The upper last premolar deciduous tooth was not erupted. No other abnormalities were detected. Radiological examination revealed a posterior maxillary mass of mixed opacity. The mass was surgically excised. Histopathological examination demonstrated a connective tissue stroma containing foci of irregular enamel and dentine, resembling rudimentary teeth (denticles), surrounded by new bone formation. Morphology and structure of the denticles were also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. A compound odontoma was diagnosed. One year after surgery, the dog was free of clinical signs.

Developmental disturbances of permanent teeth following trauma to the primary dentition.

The topographic relationship of the apices of the primary teeth to the permanent tooth germs explains the potential for possible developmental disturbances of the permanent teeth after injuries to their predecessors. The anatomical, histologic and clinical aspects of permanent tooth malformation following trauma to the primary teeth are described. One hundred and fourteen children with originally 255 traumatized primary teeth have been re-examined (with an average period of 5.1 years after the trauma) to assess any developmental disturbances of the corresponding permanent teeth. Twenty-three per cent of partially or completely erupted permanent teeth showed developmental disturbances. The most frequent malformation was enamel hypoplasia including enamel discoloration and/or enamel defects. The highest prevalence of developmental disturbances of permanent teeth was found after intrusive injuries of primary teeth.
