A histologic comparison of Hydron and zinc oxide-eugenol as endodontic filling materials in the primary teeth of dogs.

Currently available endodontic filling materials for primary teeth demonstrate several inadequacies. Therefore, this study histologically evaluates Hydron (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) and zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE) as primary tooth endodontic filling materials in dogs to compare the materials' biocompatibility and to determine whether they undergo resorption in a physiologic manner. Primary molars of six mongrel dogs, 2 to 3 months old, received one-step endodontic therapy. By random selection, two thirds of the molars were filled with either Hydron or ZOE and the remainder were used as unoperated controls. Block sections taken during physiologic root resorption were used to obtain serial hematoxylin and eosin sections of periapical regions. Hydron was phagocytosed by mononuclear macrophages in a physiologic manner and at a rate comparable to that of root tissues. In contrast, ZOE demonstrated delayed resorption and transitory inflammation. Neither material showed cytotoxicity. Hydron may therefore be a suitable endodontic material for human primary teeth.

Interradicular dentin dysplasia associated with amelogenesis imperfecta.

Very few reports are available on the occurrence of dysplasia of both enamel and dentin. This report concerns a rare association of amelogenesis imperfecta with a dysplasia of dentin in the interradicular area in sisters of Japanese descent who have no other morphologic anomalies. Retarded tooth eruption was also a clinical feature in both sisters. Histologic examination of several teeth revealed that the anomalous interradicular dentin consisted of a mass of small, onion-like calcified bodies. The absence of any dental abnormalities in both parents, who are related as first cousins, supports the concept of autosomal recessive inheritance for this trait.

Concomitant regional odontodysplasia and hydrocephalus.

The case of a patient with concomitant regional odontodysplasia, hydrocephalus, and mental retardation is presented. Tooth eruption was retarded, probably because of the presence of a cementum-like substance on the enamel surface as well as the presence of discontinuous odontogenic epithelium that surrounded the affected teeth. Neural damage during intrauterine life is suggested as a likely cause of the dental abnormalities. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that both primary and permanent teeth in the area were affected. It is further supported by the finding of dysplastic dentin.

Ameloblastoma in young persons: a clinicopathologic analysis and etiologic investigation.

Ameloblastoma, an odontogenic tumor of ectodermal origin, has been reported to arise, on rare occasions, in a primordial or dentigerous cyst of a young person. Numerous authors have suggested differing nomenclatures for these ameloblastomas (e.g., mural, unicystic, monocystic, intracystic, cystogenic, cystic, plexiform unicystic) and have sought to describe and classify the clinical and histopathologic features. These tumors have been characterized as a distinct variant exhibiting less aggressive behavior and a lower rate of recurrence than conventional ameloblastoma. Furthermore, various etiologic factors have been proposed for these cystic ameloblastomas, including (1) nonspecific irritational factors such as extraction, caries, trauma, infection, inflammation, or tooth eruption; (2) nutritional deficit disorders, and (3) viral infection. The files of the combined accessioned cases of Emory University's and Temple University's oral pathology laboratories were searched and a review of the literature was performed. Thirty-eight cases of mandibular ameloblastoma (37 intraosseous, 1 peripheral) in persons 19-year-old and younger were found from a combined total of 311 accessioned cases of ameloblastoma (12.2%). The average age at diagnosis was 10.4 years for the 18 males and 20 females. Of the 33 cases in which race was stated, 19 (57.6%) were white and 14 (42.4%) were black. In the 28 cases in which a clinical diagnosis was offered, fifteen (53.6%) were thought to be dentigerous cysts. Ten cases from patients less than 19 years old were investigated by means of an immunohistochemical staining technique for the detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) genus-specific structural antigen in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. Three of the ten cases (cases 31, 37 and 38) were positive for HPV capsid antigen, whereas none of ten randomly selected ameloblastomas in adults was positive. A discussion of the clinical and histopathologic comparative findings, with emphasis on treatment results and possible HPV etiology, is included. The preliminary nature of finding HPV in the tumor cells is stressed, with recommendation for further verification and typing with the more sensitive in situ hybridization technique.

Orofacial features of Scheie (Hurler-Scheie) syndrome (alpha-L-iduronidase deficiency).

Scheie syndrome is a rare inborn error of metabolism, a mucopolysaccharidosis in which deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase leads to tissue accumulation of mucopolysaccharides. Scheie syndrome is a forme fruste of Hurler syndrome (gargoylism), and some patients have the phenotype of Hurler-Scheie compound syndrome. The craniofacial abnormalities include coarse facies, mandibular condylar hypoplasia, retarded tooth eruption, and cystic jaw radiolucencies--particularly about the molars. Corneal clouding may lead to blindness but, in contrast to some other mucopolysaccharidoses, mental handicap is rare in Scheie syndrome. Cardiac valve incompetence is common, as are recurrent respiratory infections. Two brothers with Hurler-Scheie syndrome are presented and the oral and systemic complications each patient had described. The syndrome is discussed with particular reference to the orofacial features.
