Intracranial trauma associated with extraction of a temporal ear tooth (dentigerous cyst) in a horse.

Heterotopic polyodontia is typically associated with a sinus and a fistulous tract with a secreting membrane which extends to an ectopic tooth attached to the temporal bone. Recommendations for treatment include complete excision of the tract, the dental component, and the lining of the alveolar socket. Iatrogenic cerebral trauma was encountered during surgical extraction of an ectopic tooth. At post-mortem examination a second ectopic tooth was found compressing the right side of the cerebellum.

[Alveolitis--current opinion].

Following the removal of mandibular teeth, especially third molars nowadays, a post-operative complication may occur, namely alveolitis. This article reviews the pertinent literature concerning this condition and discusses its etiology, symptoms and treatment.

Establishing soft tissue integration with natural tooth-shaped abutments.

The disparity in dimensions between implant fixtures and the exposed extraction sockets has resulted in the development of anatomically shaped abutments. Systems have been recently introduced that facilitate the fabrication of abutments to the configuration of natural teeth in the anterior maxilla. These systems permit development of an aesthetic emergence profile and contours for easy access in maintenance of oral hygiene of maxillary anterior single-tooth implant-supported restorations. The rationale for the development, indications, advantages, and clinical utilization of a recently introduced abutment system is discussed.

Nerve growth to tooth buds after homotopic or heterotopic autotransplantation.

Feline permanent incisor tooth buds (bell stage) were autotransplanted to mandibular alveolar sockets (homotopic site) or to the submandibular subcutis or the leg (heterotopic sites). This was done in 34 kittens aged 1-2 months. After survival times of 3-8 months the animals were fixed by glutaraldehyde perfusion. A total of 56 mineralized teeth, which had developed at the recipient sites, were removed, demineralized and processed for light microscopic (LM) general evaluation. Fourty-four teeth, which were judged to be grossly normal in the LM, were selected for electron microscopic (EM) analysis with respect to the occurrence of pulpal nerve fibres. The highest proportion of normal teeth (16 of 16) was obtained from the alveolar site, followed by the submandibular (11 of 14) and hindlimb (17 of 26) sites. Most of the grossly normal grafts possessed pulpal axons (37 of 44). The alveolar grafts were all innervated and exhibited a largely normal appearance qualitatively and in terms of percentage of myelinated fibres. The proportion of innervated pulps was lower among the heterotopic mandibular (10 of 11) and hindlimb (11 of 17) grafts. In addition, signs of nerve fibre degeneration appeared more frequently at the heterotopic sites. On the basis of these findings, and in view of the results of other workers, we conclude that tooth germs are attractive targets for all divisions of the trigeminal nerve and for cutaneous nerves outside the trigeminal system. However, the morphological picture tends to become increasingly abnormal with increasing distance from the normal locus.
