Focal odontoblastic dysplasia: dentin dysplasia type III?

A new, nonsyndromic dentin defect, focal odontoblastic dysplasia, is described on the basis of clinical, radiographic, histologic, and scanning electron microscopic criteria. A provisional classification is proposed for this disease entity according to the nosology of Shields and associates. Four additional cases in the literature which possibly represent this new entity are presented, and a possible genetic etiology is discussed.

Radiographic manifestations of an unusual combination Types I and Type II dentin dysplasia.

Dentin dyslasia is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary variant of dentinogenesis imperfecta. The primary defect is mesodermal and involves the dentin. Two types (Type I and Type II) of dentin dysplasia have been described previously. The current case presents radiographic findings which include characteristics common to both types. It is proposed that either a third type (Type III) be recognized or the variability of the developmental defect precludes definitive subclassification.

Age-related changes of the dental pulp complex and their relationship to systemic aging.

The dental pulp and its associated structures, the dentin and the cementum, are discussed. Because many of the age-related pulpal changes have components considered in several of the current theories of aging, these theories are briefly reviewed. Part 2 describes the age-related changes of the dental pulp, the dentin, and the cementum (the dental pulp complex). An attempt is made to differentiate inherent aging changes from physiologic defensive changes and pathologic irritant-induced changes. Part 3 describes the relationship of age-induced changes in the dental pulp complex to components of the current aging theories together with a unified concept of the dental pulp complex aging. Part 4 considers whether dental pulp complex aging can be used as a biomarker for generalized aging. Whether age-related changes of the dental pulp complex can be altered by interventions is discussed.

Removal of calcified attached denticle with a pulsed dye laser. A case report.

This article presents the removal of an attached pulp denticle with the use of a pulsed dye laser. The quartz fiber was introduced in the root canal and placed in direct contact with the free border of the denticle. Thirty-two pulses were necessary to fragment the pulp stone. A scanning electron-microscopic study shows a sharp section at the base of the pulp stone.

Dentin dysplasia type I: report of atypical cases in the permanent and mixed dentitions.

Dentin dysplasia type I is a rare hereditary disturbance of dentin formation characterized clinically by nearly normal appearing crowns and severe hypermobility of teeth. Radiographic analysis shows obliteration of all pulp chambers, short, blunted, and malformed roots, and periapical radiolucencies of noncarious teeth. This paper presents 2 cases demonstrating both classic and atypical features of type I dentin dysplasia in the mixed and permanent dentitions. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic\findings of this condition and treatment are described.

Pulp obliteration: a histological study.

Pulp obliteration is a very rare occurrence that is most frequently caused by trauma. A 58-yr-old female patient had a generalized pulp obliteration that involved all maxillary and mandibular teeth. One tooth was extracted due to an extensive carious lesion and it was processed by a cutting-grinding technique. It was possible to observe the complete obliteration of the pulp chamber, which was filled in part by reparative dentin and in part by a calcified tissue with a concentric layers structure with no tubular pattern. The root canals were almost completely obliterated by an amorphous calcified material.
