Otodental syndrome, oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome, and lobodontia: dental disorders of interest to the pediatric radiologist.

Three unusual dental anomalies are presented which should be of interest to the pediatric radiologist: otodental syndrome - an autosomal dominant syndrome of bizarre, greatly enlarged teeth with bulbous crowns (globodontia) that spares the incisors, in combination with sensorineural hearing loss; oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome - an X-linked dominant syndrome that is lethal in males, characterized by congenital cataracts, unusual facies, atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and canine teeth that cease to grow only when they cut off their own blood supply by growing through the orbit and lower border of mandible; and lobodontia - a dominant disorder characterized by teeth whose crowns resemble those of a wolf.

Cleidocranial dysplasia: diagnostic criteria and combined treatment.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon, generalized skeletal disorder characterized by delayed ossification of the skull, aplastic or hypoplastic clavicles, and serious, complex dental abnormalities. There are many difficulties in the early diagnosis of CCD because a majority of the craniofacial abnormalities becomes obvious only during adolescence. In the present case, a hypoplastic midface, a relative prognathia of the mandible, and close approximation of the shoulders in the anterior plane were the conspicuous extraoral findings. Prolonged exfoliation of the primary dentition, unerupted supernumerary teeth, and the irregularly and partially erupted secondary dentition produced occlusional anomalies. The presence of the second permanent molars together with the primary dentition and wide spacing in the lower incisor area were typical dental signs. Gradual extraction of the supernumerary teeth and over-retained primary teeth was the first step of oral surgery. This was followed by a surgical exposure of the unerupted teeth by thinning of the cortical bone. Orthodontic treatment was aimed at parallel growth of the jaws. Removable appliances were used to expand the narrow maxillary and mandibular arches, and a Delaire mask compensated for the lack of sagittal growth of the upper jaw. Temporary functional rehabilitation was solved by partial denture. When the jaws have been fully developed, implant insertions and bridges are the therapeutic measures. The reported case and the literature data support the importance of the early diagnosis and interdisciplinary treatment of CCD.

Examination of the oral cavity and routine dental care.

Techniques and equipment used to examine the oral cavity thoroughly are explained. Common routine dental procedures described include removal of enamel points, wolf teeth, and retained caps. Abnormalities of the incisors are discussed.

Dens in dente in a six year old doberman pinscher.

Developmental abnormalities of tooth shape and form are rare. Identification of dens in dente is made by radiographic and clinical examination. Pulpitis, pulp necrosis and periapical inflammation can be associated with this abnormality. The tooth should be evaluated for endodontic therapy. A review of the literature related to dens in dente is described with the findings in a doberman pinscher.

Root abnormalities, talon cusps, dentes invaginati with reduced alveolar bone levels: case report.

This is a case report of a Caucasian female who presented with an unusual combination of dental anomalies: short roots on the maxillary central incisors and premolars, talon cusps, dentes invaginati, low alveolar bone heights, tubercles of Carabelli on the maxillary first and second permanent molars, with pyramidal root morphology in three of the second permanent molars. None of the anomalies alone are particularly uncommon but they have not previously been reported together. The occurrence of the anomalies is probably incidental as the conditions are aetiologically unrelated.

Cornelia de-Lange syndrome.

Cornelia De Lange syndrome is a relatively uncommon, multiple congenital anomaly / mental retardation disorder of unknown etiology. Its incidence has been reported to vary from 1 : 30,000 to 1 : 50,000 of live births, without any known racial predilection. However, it has been considered to be due to a new dominant mutation. Main clinical features of this syndrome include growth retardation, developmental delay, hirsutism, structural limb abnormalities, mental retardation and facial growth discrepancies. Main causes of death in such patients include pneumonia along with cardiac, respiratory and GI abnormalities.

The effect of irradiation on developing teeth.

Although the consequences of ionizing irradiation on adult teeth have been adequately described in the literature, there have been few reports concerning the adverse effects on the developing dentition. A case is presented in which the jaws were irradiated at an early age and it was possible to examine some of the abnormal teeth in detail by using clinical, radiographic, and histologic techniques.
