[Globodontia--a new familial tooth abnormality].

A new, congenital anomaly of tooth form transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait was found in a father and two of his three sons. While the incisors appeared unchanged, the posterior teeth have characteristic massive globe-shaped crowns with irregularly arranged, rounded cusps. The occlusal surfaces resemble in their extreme form the underside of a tomato. The relation to the otodental syndrome is not clear as yet.

Jaw and tooth abnormalities detected on panoramic radiographs in New Zealand children aged 10-15 years.

Panoramic radiographs of 1,608 children and adolescents aged 10 to 15 years (797 males and 811 females) were reviewed to determine the prevalence of tooth and jaw abnormalities. Abnormalities were detected on 21 percent of the radiographs (23 percent females and 17.3 percent males); 879 teeth were diagnosed with abnormalities on 331 radiographs. The more common abnormalities were malpositioned teeth, missing teeth, misshaped teeth, and teeth with hypoplastic appearance. Bony abnormalities and growth problems were detected in a few radiographs. This study demonstrates the value of panoramic radiography in detecting or confirming dental abnormalities, and supports recommendations on the use of panoramic radiography to aid in the assessment of dental development.

Use of computed tomography to investigate cheek tooth abnormalities in chinchillas (Chinchilla laniger)

Computerised tomographic scanning was used to investigate tooth structure in chinchillas (Chinchilla laniger), both cheek tooth crown and root abnormalities being common in this species. This paper describes a common form of dental disease affecting species with continuously growing teeth, with particular reference to the chinchilla, and confirms the potential role of computed tomography (CT) in its early diagnosis. CT imaging is compared with previously available methods of investigation which frequently fail to detect early pathological changes.
