Relationship of cheek tooth abrasion to fluoride-induced permanent incisor lesions in livestock.

Teeth from cattle, sheep, and horses that ingested various fluoride intakes and teeth from field studies of these species plus deer, elk, and bison were examined for abnormalities. Approximately 99,000 animals in 322 herds were examined for fluorosis. From field studies, 988 cattle of various ages and with different degrees of dental fluorosis were slaughtered and necropsied. The severity of fluoride-induced mottling, hypoplasia, and abnormal abrasion of paired permanent incisor teeth was correlated with abrasion of premolar and molar (cheek) teeth that form and mineralize at approximately the same age. Severe irregular wear of cheek teeth impaired mastication and resulted in poor utilization of feed and unthriftiness. Excessive amounts of fluoride during tooth formation and mineralization induce characteristic dental changes. Offspring from the fluoride-affected animals did not have discernible fluoride-induced lesions in the deciduous teeth.

[The principles of designing stump pin inserts in pathological tooth abrasion].

A total of 278 patients aged 40 to 67 with pathological abrasion of hard dental tissues were treated. Decreased occlusion height was diagnosed in 152 (54.67%) of these. In 146 patients abutment teeth under permanent dentures were fixed with cast stump pin insertions. Complications occurred in 9.6% cases: perforation of the wall of the root canal (1.14%), failure of cementing (3.98%), fracture of the root (1.14%), breaking of a fragment of the root at the neck of the tooth (2.84%), and inflammations of the marginal periodontium (0.57%). In order to prevent these complications and improve the fixation of cast stump pin insertion, we used our modifications of cast stump pin insertions (n = 394) for anterior and lateral teeth. The incidence of complications decreased more than 5 times. Follow-up of 2 to 8 years showed 1.78% of complications.

[The use of composite materials for the orthodontic treatment of patients with the vertical form of pathological tooth abrasiveness].

The author summarizes his experience with 34 patients with localized vertical pathological teeth abrasion. The coronal defects of 189 anterior teeth were corrected using individually fitted polymeric caps and composition materials: carbodent and epacryl (USSR), evicrol (CSSR), microrest (Japan). The technique is described in detail with its advantages, indications and contraindications.

[Functional disorders of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint in pathological tooth abrasion].

Altogether 568 patients, 308 women and 260 men aged 30 to 64 with abnormal teeth abrasion were examined by clinical, anthropometric, X-ray (spot and panoramic radiography of the teeth and jaws, tomography of the temporomandibular joint), electromyography, and rheoparodontography. Pathological teeth abrasion was associated with various morphological and functional disturbances in the maxillodental system. Two types of abrasion were distinguished: with and without masticatory function disorders. The latter condition was detected in 252 (44.36%) patients. Painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint was observed in 66 (11.6%) patients. Three factors contribute to the pathogenesis of these functional disorders in abnormal teeth abrasion: reduction of occlusion height (interalveolar distance) and shortening of the lower third of the face, blocking of mandibular movements, lateral and distal shift of the mandible.

The measurement of enamel and dentine abrasion by tooth whitening products using an in situ model.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the enamel and dentine wear of two whitening toothpastes using an in situ model with ex vivo brushing. METHODS: Human enamel/dentine (approximately 50:50) blocks (approximately 4 x 4mm) were placed in the upper buccal aspects of full or partial dentures of a group of 25 subjects. Subjects brushed the specimens ex vivo with either a calcium carbonate/perlite or silica containing whitening toothpaste under exaggerated conditions as compared to normal for 30 s, twice per day. Specimens were removed after 4, 8 and 12 weeks and the wear to the enamel and dentine was determined. Enamel wear was determined by change in Knoop indent length and dentine wear was determined from the enamel-dentine step height, measured using optical profilometry. RESULTS: The mean wear after 12 weeks was for enamel 0.27 and 0.19 microns, and for dentine 34.3 and 61.1 microns, for the calcium carbonate/perlite and silica toothpastes respectively. There were no significant differences between products after 12 weeks. The rate of wear was found to decrease throughout the duration of the study. CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences between the two whitening toothpastes in terms of enamel and dentine wear after 12 weeks brushing.

In vitro evaluation of different remineralization periods in improving the resistance of previously eroded bovine dentine against tooth-brushing abrasion.

One dentine specimen was prepared from each of 90 bovine incisors. The samples were then evenly distributed among nine groups (A-I) and submitted to 10 alternating de- and re-mineralization cycles, including abrasion by tooth brushing. Each cycle started with a demineralization using the erosive soft drink Sprite Light for 1 min, followed by storing the samples in pooled human saliva for a total of 240 min. The specimens were removed from the saliva at different intervals (group A, 0 min; B, 15 min; C, 30 min; D, 45 min; E, 60 min; F, 90 min; G, 120 min) and brushed in an automatic brushing machine. Groups H (erosion, but no brushing) and I (no erosion, but brushing), which were also stored in saliva for 240 min, served as controls. After these cycles, loss of dentine was determined by profilometry, producing the following values (mean+/-S.D.), which were analysed statistically (P< or = 0.05): group A (5.03+/-1.49 microm), B (4.44+/-1.09 microm), C (4.91+/-0.95 microm), D (5.47+/-1.52 microm), E (5.29+/-1.45 microm), F (4.76+/-0.74 microm), G (5.16+/-0.71 microm), H (2.61+/-1.31), I (1.11+/-0.39). Groups A-G had no significant differences, but they showed a significantly greater loss of dentine than groups H and I. It is concluded that the abrasion resistance of eroded bovine dentine is still decreased after a remineralization period of 120 min.

Intraoral leukoplakia, abrasion, periodontal breakdown, and tooth loss in a snuff dipper.

Dentists should be aware that snuff dipping or chewing is increasing in southern states and perhaps in other sections of the United States. These habits can lead to clinical leukoplakia, gingival recession, tooth abrasion, and periodontal bone destruction. The possibility also exists that a malignant transformation of leukoplakia can develop in persons who use snuff and other forms of tobacco.
