[Percentual loss of active desmodontioum in horizontal tooth resorption].

Radicular surfaces connected with the bone by the periodontal membrane were measured by means of a galvanic method. The investigation showed that the surface reduction as a function of the length of the root cannot be compared with the surface reduction of a cone, since at least in the coronal quarter of the root, the percent decrease in surface is linear, especially in the case of teeth with several roots. The clinical significance of this investigation becomes evident when evaluating the bone destruction visible in a radiogram related to loading capacity. In the author's investigation an average loss of 60% was found.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxilla--an association with tooth resorption.

The aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon lesion of the jaws. Cases involving the maxilla have been reported infrequently. Despite uncertainty as to the aetiology of the aneurysmal bone cyst, it is regarded as a benign lesion. Conservative surgical treatment with regular postoperative follow-up is recommended. The case described here presented with tooth mobility resulting from extensive root resorption. A review of the literature reveals that significant root resorption is not a commonly reported feature of aneurysmal bone cysts. For the present case we interpret the evidence as supporting a diagnosis of idiopathic root resorption complicated by the formation of a aneurysmal bone cyst.

The effects of colony-stimulating factor-1 on tooth eruption in the toothless (osteopetrotic) rat in relation to the critical periods for bone resorption during tooth eruption.

The toothless (tl) rat is an osteopetrotic mutation characterized by a generalized skeletal sclerosis, reduced bone resorption, few osteoclasts and a total absence of erupted teeth. This mutation is not cured by bone marrow transplants from normal littermates. It is known that the skeletal defects in tl rats are greatly improved after treatment with colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1). This investigation concerns the effects of CSF-1 on the development and eruption of the dentition of tl rats. Untreated tl rats had no erupted teeth by 56 days after birth, and the roots of incisors and molars were severely distorted by compression against bone. The apex of the mandibular incisor did not extend past the first molar and continued growth of its apical end produced odontoma-like masses consisting of distorted dentine and enamel matrices. In addition, few osteoclasts were seen on alveolar bone surfaces surrounding the developing teeth. Mutants given CSF-1 were characterized by delayed eruption of all molars and sometimes incisors. The incidence of incisor eruption was related inversely to the age at which CSF-1 treatment began. Molars of treated tl rats had well-developed roots similar to those in normal rats. Treated mutants had numerous osteoclasts in alveolar bone and well-developed haemopoietic marrow spaces in the mandible. Histochemical staining for both tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid ATPase was reduced or negligible in osteoclasts of untreated tl rats, heavy in normal osteoclasts and of intermediate intensity in CSF-1-treated mutants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Delayed eruption of the premolar after pathological deciduous tooth root resorption].

The behaviour of eruption of lower premolars after pathological resorption of deciduous molar roots was examined on models and X-rays. The molars of the first dentition were shed earlier after pathological resorption of deciduous molar roots. Data of absence are measured in years in the presence of occlusal bone bridges. The middle values are more than three years. Eruption of permanent teeth happens years later or they remain impacted. Eruption dates of premolars after pathological deciduous root resorption and interruption of the lamina dura, and after physiological resorption are significantly earlier than if there is an occlusal bony bridge (p less than 0.01). The therapeutic consequence is the surgical liberation of such premolars and their removal.

Bone and root resorption. Effects of the force developed during periodontal ligament injections in dogs.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the pressure generated during the intraligamentary injection technique on the occurrence of root and bone resorptions in dogs. Five beagles were used in the study, and interventions were scheduled to provide observation periods at 7, 25, and 45 days. One hundred five sites on the dogs were divided into three groups: (1) those subjected to needle penetration; (2) those subjected to saline solution injection; and (3) the control sites. Injections were made with a specially designed syringe equipped with a miniaturized force transducer. The dogs were then killed, and block sections of the sites were made and treated in accord with standard histologic procedures. The mean number of osteoclasts and odontoclasts was calculated for each group, and the mean value of bone and tooth resorption angle was measured. Data were then analyzed statistically. Results showed that, at 7 days, needle penetration and saline solution injection caused osteoclastic activity and bone resorption; the number of osteoclasts and the extent bone resorption were greater in the group that received the injection of saline solution. No difference was found for the odontoclastic activity and tooth resorption. A correlation was found between the force developed during injection, the mean number of osteoclasts, and the mean angle of bone and tooth resorption. At 25 and 45 days, healing had occurred. These findings suggest that fluid pressure within the periodontal ligament is sufficient to initiate osteoclastic, reversible bone resorption.

[Pathological tooth root resorption and its clinical significance].

The author examined 316 teeth, on which total pulpotomy had been performed, for frequency and extent of resorption. Marked resorptions, always associated with chronic apical periodontitis, were radiographically disclosed in 43 teeth. It is pointed out that the clinical radiographic technique permits to visualize only resorptions of greater extent.

An inhibitory principle in the matrix of periodontally diseased roots.

The inhibitory influence shown by the periodontally diseased root resides in its organic component. Its nature is uncertain and it may be an etiologic factor in periodontal destruction. The apatite structures of healthy and diseased roots are alike in being more receptive to the growth of bone and marrow than are their respective matrices.

[Light microscopic presentation of the morphological behavior of the nerves of deciduous teeth during tooth exfoliation deciduous and after loss of the dentition].

Structural changes in the nerve can hardly be demonstrated in nerve sections located intradentally, i.e. away from the area of tooth resorption. pseudohypersegmentation, however, is found intradentally in nerve sections of the radical pulp close to the resorption area. Serious lesions of the nervous substance are found extradentally, in the direct neighborhood of the erupting permanent tooth. If the deciduous tooth was lost more than 12 months ago, intraosseously the final stage of physiological degeneration is reached.
