Abstract

A case presented here is that of a nine year old male patient with total anodontia. Findings of this case as regards to the orofacial, radiographic and other general manifestations were suggestive of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The dental problems were best managed by prosthetic replacement of dentition taking into consideration a design which would provide adequate relief for the preservation of the ridges which were thin and underdeveloped to the absence of teeth.

Haploinsufficiency of PAX9 is associated with autosomal dominant hypodontia.

We recently identified a frame-shift mutation in the PAX9 gene as the underlying cause for hypodontia involving permanent molar teeth segregating in an autosomal dominant pattern in a single large family (Stockton et al. 2000). Here we report a small nuclear family in which a father and his daughter are affected with severe hypodontia, involving agenesis of all primary and permanent molars, evidently caused by deletion of the entire PAX9 gene. Hemizygosity at the PAX9 locus in the two affected individuals was initially discovered when an informative single nucleotide polymorphism, identified while sequencing the gene for mutations, appeared to demonstrate non-Mendelian inheritance. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with a cosmid containing the PAX9 gene yielded a signal on only one chromosome 14 homologue and confirmed the presence of a deletion encompassing the PAX9 locus. Analysis of microsatellite loci in the vicinity of PAX9 delineated one breakpoint of the deletion. These data, in concert with FISH analysis with cosmids encompassing a 199 kb region, indicated that the deletion is between approximately 44 kb and 100 kb. PAX9 is one of two genes, and the only odontogenic gene within the deletion interval, thus supporting the model of haploinsufficiency for PAX9 as the underlying basis for hypodontia.

Clinico-pathological aspects of a residual natal tooth: a case report.

A Japanese girl was referred to Osaka University Dental Hospital for examination of a tooth-like structure that had erupted following spontaneous exfoliation of a natal tooth in the lower left primary central incisor region. The structure had erupted at 6 months of age, and radiographic and clinical examination showed composition of pulp and dentin, but no enamel. On histological examination, the majority of the dentin area had a tubular dentin-like appearance, while the outer area of the root appeared to be composed of an osteodentin-like substance. Most of the dentin was covered by cementum. These findings suggest that the structure had originated from a developing remnant of the extracted natal tooth, which must have remained in the gingival tissues. We termed this calcified structure a residual natal tooth.

Relationship between congenitally missing lower third molars and late formation of tooth germs.

In this investigation, we used longitudinal panoramic radiographs from 96 subjects (47 boys, 49 girls) who did not have any congenital disease. The subjects were selected based on their age at the initial radiograph and the number and frequency of radiographs. Lower left premolars and second molars were used as parameters to identify factors that influence the age of formation of the third molar. We classified teeth into eight formation stages according to the method of Demirjian. The age at the beginning of formation of the lower third molar was determined with a regression equation of longitudinal data. The highest correlation existed between the age at the beginning of formation of the third molar and the formation stage of the second molar. We conclude that late formation of tooth germs is one of the factors that leads to the congenital absence of lower third molars. Furthermore, we assume that when the tooth germ of the lower third molar has not appeared at stage 7 of formation of the second molar, the probability of the third molar being missing is 100%.
