Oral manifestation of Rett's syndrome.

Severe dental attrition has several causes but may be the result of bruxism in neurological or psychological disturbances. Rett's syndrome is an uncommon but increasingly recognised neurological disorder, characterised by acquired microcephaly, progressive dementia, bruxism, and loss of purposeful movements of the hands. A patient with Rett's syndrome who demonstrated masseteric hypertrophy, bruxism, and severe attrition is reported.

Traumatic injuries of prehistoric teeth: new evidence from Baluchistan and Punjab Provinces, Pakistan.

Traumatic lesions of the dentition are rarely reported, while skeletal trauma constitutes a significant portion of the paleopathology literature. The purpose of this paper is to show how meticulous analysis of traumatic dental lesions can provide insights into patterns of behavior in prehistory. Two cases of dental trauma from prehistoric Pakistan illustrate some crucial problems in diagnosing the etiology of traumatic lesions. Bio-behavioral insights derived from the analysis of dental trauma compliment inferences gleaned from more traditional approaches, including the study of dental attrition and dental morphology.

Prediction of mandibular incisor and canine crowding changes in the mixed dentition.

To test the hypothesis that preeruptive tooth positions and dental arch parameters might forecast crowding changes, a sample of 47 aboriginal children (26 males, 21 females) was selected stringently on the basis of Class 1 characteristics and an untreated dentition unaffected by caries or attrition. Crowding scores, radiographic relationships of 765E, and dental arch dimensions were evaluated for the mixed dentition (Stage 1, 8.91 +/- 1.05 years) and earliest emergence of the permanent dentition (Stage 2, 12.48 +/- 0.97 years). Changes between the stages were calculated and the sample was divided into two groups, according to an increase (Group 1) or decrease (Group 2) in incisor and canine crowding. Multivariate and multiple regression analyses were used to identify predictors (Stage 1 radiographic and dental arch parameters) of incisor and canine crowding behavior. Dental arch form and tooth size were important factors in measuring the amount of incisor or canine crowding at Stage 1 and Stage 2. Neither the radiographic nor the dental arch predictors proved useful in forecasting crowding changes. Group 2 dental arches tended to be initially narrower, shallower, and more crowded; however, they showed greater molar and canine width expansion and lessened arch depth reduction than Group 1 cases. Many cases showed a reduction in canine crowding from mixed to permanent dentition. This appeared to be largely independent of the observed incisor crowding. Sexual, racial, and individual variations in dentofacial pattern reinforce the need to carefully consider interceptive extraction or space-regaining therapy for each patient because of the unpredictability of crowding behavior during the transition from mixed to permanent dentition.

The effect of facial growth, attrition, and age on the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone crest in the deciduous dentition.

The aim of this study was to describe the distances from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) in the deciduous dentition and to relate them to age, facial, and tooth structure in 72 dry human skulls. Age correlated significantly with anterior face height (AntFH), the distance from condyle to gnathion (Co-Gn), lateral face height (LatFH), molar anatomic crown (MAC), and molar space (MS). The CEJ-ABC per skull and for the molars correlated with age, LatFH, AntFH, Co-Gn, MS, and MAC. The CEJ-ABC for the canines and the incisors correlated with age, LatFH, AntFH, and Co-GN. Multiple regression analysis on the effect of age, AntFH, LatFH, Co-Gn, and MAC on the CEJ-ABC distances indicated that they account for 36.3% of the CEJ-ABC distance per skull, 68.8% for the molars, 34.3% for the canines, and 44.2% for the incisors. The effect of each variable while controlling for the others indicated that age, LatFH, and MAC had a significant effect on the CEJ-ABC of the molars, whereas only age had a significant effect on the CEJ-ABC of the canines and incisors. These results indicate that there is a site-specific effect of facial growth and attrition on the CEJ-ABC distances in the deciduous dentition.

Dental pathology of prehistoric residents of Oregon.

Dentitions of 208 prehistoric skeletal specimens from five geographic regions of Oregon were studied to describe their dental status. Comparisons were made of the incidence of specific pathologies among regions and between jaws. Maxillary premortem tooth losses were significantly higher than mandibular tooth loss. A relatively high caries incidence occurs in samples from the Willamette Valley and Klamath Basin, where plant foods were used aboriginally to a significant extent. A high frequency of abscesses was recorded in the Klamath Basin and the Lower Columbia River sample, which also showed the highest levels of attrition. Each of the five subsamples shows patterns of dental pathology consistent with former use of natural resources.
