Intrabony migration of impacted teeth.

Intrabony migration of impacted teeth is a rare dental anomaly, which occurs only in the permanent dentition of the lower jaw. The teeth involved in this phenomenon are the mandibular lateral incisor, canine, and second premolar. Migration of the lateral incisor is usually in a distal direction, resulting in transposition with the canine. Migration of the canine is most frequently in a mesial direction, resulting in transmigration across the mandibular symphysis to the opposite side of the dental arch. The second premolar most often migrates distally, sometimes past the gonial angle and as far as the coronoid process. Surgical and orthodontic treatment options are presented for the three intrabony migrating teeth.

Two interceptive approaches to palatally displaced canines: a prospective longitudinal study.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of two interceptive approaches to palatally displaced canines (PDCs), ie, extraction of the deciduous canines alone and in association with the use of a cervical pull headgear. The prospective longitudinal design of the investigation included 46 subjects with PDC (62 maxillary canines) who were randomly assigned to one of three groups (1) a group that underwent the extraction of the deciduous canine only, (2) a group that received in addition the use of a cervical pull headgear, and (3) an untreated control group. Panoramic radiographs were evaluated at initial observation (T1) and after an average period of 18 months (T2). Cervical vertebral maturation was assessed on lateral cephalograms at T1. Successful or unsuccessful canine eruption was assessed 48 months after T1. The between-group statistical comparisons were performed on the T1-T2 changes in the diagnostic parameters on panoramic radiographs, the prevalence rates of successful canine eruption, and the amount of time for canine eruption. The removal of the deciduous canine as an isolated measure to intercept palatal displacement of maxillary canines showed a prevalence rate of 50% success, which was not significantly greater than the success rate in untreated controls. The use of a headgear in addition to the extraction of the deciduous canine induced successful eruption in 80% of the cases, with a significant improvement in the measures for intraosseous canine position. There was no significant difference between the two interceptive approaches in the time required for canine eruption.

Unusual orthodontic correction of bilateral maxillary canine-first premolar transposition.

Tooth transposition is a subject that intrigues orthodontists because of the associated treatment planning. Approximately 0.3-0.4% of the population has this type of tooth disharmony, and in the literature, most authors are in disagreement about the treatment approach. In this article, a case is presented of bilaterally maxillary canine-first premolar transposition associated with bilaterally upper lateral incisor agenesis treated in a very unusual way. The transposed teeth were orthodontically reversed to their normal sequence and the missing lateral incisor spaces closed. We choose this approach because once the decision was made to close the upper lateral incisor agenesis spaces, it was inadequate to position the upper first premolars in contact with the central incisors.

The effect of two alternative methods of canine exposure upon subsequent duration of orthodontic treatment.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness, in terms of orthodontic treatment duration, of two methods of canine exposure. DESIGN: This was a retrospective study using patients' records and lateral cephalometric radiographs. SAMPLE AND METHODS: 50 patients were selected, 25 in each group. In all subjects the impaction was categorized as being 'intermediate'. The methods of canine exposure were: (i) simple surgical exposure; (ii) surgical exposure and placement of an orthodontic attachment, followed by flap replacement. RESULTS: The treatment duration until the canine was in the line of the arch was 17.7 months in the simple exposure group and 19.3 months in the bonded attachment group. The mean treatment duration (from exposure to debond) was 28.8 months for both groups. CONCLUSIONS: In terms of treatment duration, no significant difference could be demonstrated between the two methods of surgical exposure to palatally impacted canines.

Interceptive orthodontics in the real world of community dentistry.

OBJECTIVE: To test the applicability and effectiveness of interceptive orthodontics in a community field trial. DESIGN: Prospective screening for suitable malocclusions, implementation of treatment and analysis of outcomes 12 months later. SETTING: Community dentistry in urban and rural areas of Northern Ireland, 1996-98. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The initial sample consisted of 2002 children (1014 boys, 988 girls) who were screened in routine community dental inspections. One thousand and sixty (523 aged 9 years, 537 aged 11 years) were domiciled in the urban area of greater Belfast and 942 (479 aged 9 years, 463 aged 11 years) in the rural area of Enniskillen and Omagh, Co. Tyrone. INTERVENTIONS: Interceptive orthodontic treatment. OUTCOME MEASURES: Dental health component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and specially devised local indices of treatment outcomes. RESULTS: With the use of an interception gauge, orthodontic screening was included in the community dental inspections without difficulty. Thirty-three per cent of children were in need of interceptive treatment. Only 20% of those in need both attended for recall and underwent treatment. Compliance was better in the rural area but the need, with particular reference to extraction of carious first molars, was greater in the urban area. The numbers of children in IOTN grades 4 and 5 fell from 69% at the beginning of the study to 42% at the end. The outcome judged by local indices was 94% in the range of complete success to minimal improvement with only 2% showing deterioration. CONCLUSIONS: One in three children screened in community dental inspections at age 9 and 11 years would benefit from interceptive orthodontics. Parents and children seem reluctant to accept offers of interceptive orthodontics and to having the treatment carried out. Among those complying fully, the interceptive measures are very successful. Not only does community interceptive orthodontics improve the condition being treated but also reduces the need for further treatment.

Spontaneous improvement in position of canines from apparently hopeless positions.

Two cases are presented, each with both unerupted maxillary canines so badly positioned that eruption seemed unlikely. However, over a period of approximately three years, three out of the four initially displaced canines did erupt; the improvements in position being unrelated to whether or not the associated primary canine was extracted. Three out of four primary canines were removed. These cases highlight the difficulties in predicting canine eruption for individual patients.

Developmental absence of the premolar teeth: dental management.

A boy aged 11 years presented with dental pain, several carious teeth and a localized area of acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG). Developmental absence of the premolar teeth was notable and additional anomalies included mid-facial hypoplasia, mandibular prognathism, transposed teeth and delayed exfoliation of the deciduous teeth. These abnormalities have significant oral, dental, orthodontic and orthognathic implications.

Tooth anomalies associated with failure of eruption of first and second permanent molars.

The occurrence of tooth anomalies in association with failure of the first and second molars to erupt was assessed in a sample of 1520 nonsyndromic subjects with uncrowded dental arches (mean age, 14 years 4 months) and compared with the prevalence rate calculated in a matched control group of 1000 subjects. The tooth anomalies examined included infraocclusion of deciduous molars, palatal displacement of maxillary canines, rotation of maxillary lateral incisors, aplasia of second premolars, and small size of maxillary lateral incisors. Associations among arrested eruption of first and second permanent molars and anomalies in tooth eruption and position (infraoccluded deciduous molars, palatally displaced canines, rotated maxillary lateral incisors) were highly significant (P <. 001). No significant association was found among the occurrence of molar eruption disturbances, aplasia of premolars, and small-sized laterals. These findings point to a common biologic cause for the appearance of failure of eruption of molar teeth and other disturbances in tooth eruption and position, most likely under genetic influence.

Maxillary tooth transpositions: characteristic features and accompanying dental anomalies.

Transposition is a dental anomaly manifested by a positional interchange of 2 permanent teeth. The maxillary permanent canine usually transposes with the first premolar and occasionally with the lateral incisor. The records of 65 orthodontically treated individuals with maxillary tooth transpositions (40 females and 25 males) with an age range of 9 to 25 years (mean age, 13.4 years) were studied to determine the distribution of transposition and to evaluate the accompanying dental anomalies. Thirty-six individuals (55%) had a transposition of the maxillary canines and first premolars, 27 (42%) of the canines and lateral incisors, and 2 (3%) of the central and lateral incisors. Females had 60% more transpositions than did males. Substantially more transpositions were unilateral (88%), with a moderate left side dominance (58%). All dental anomalies associated with transposition--including missing lateral incisors and second premolars, undersized lateral incisors, retained deciduous canines, impaction of permanent canines and central incisors, and severely rotated adjacent teeth--were observed on the side of the transposition. This dominance of the affected side suggested that unknown local factors may play a major role in these dental anomalies.

The reconstruction of bilateral clefts using endosseous implants after bone grafting.

This article presents the orthodontic reconstruction of an adult bilateral cleft patient with a severe Class III malocclusion in which endosseous implants were inserted after secondary alveolar bone grafting. The patient was a 21-year-old Japanese male whose lateral incisors were congenitally missing and whose premaxilla was inclined lingually. The occlusion was classified as Angle Class III with an overjet of -8 mm. Orthodontic alignment was initiated to correct the position of the maxillary incisors before bone grafting. After the anterior occlusal relationship was corrected, bilateral alveolar clefts were reconstructed by bone grafting with autogenous particulate marrow and cancellous bone harvested from the iliac crest. ITI-SLA fixtures (Institute Straumann, Waldenburg, Switzerland) (length, 10 mm; diameter, 4.1 mm) were placed into the grafted bone for prosthetic restoration of the missing lateral incisors. The results illustrate that this protocol can be expected to provide an acceptable occlusion and good dentoalveolar stability in adult cleft patients.

Dental morphologic characteristics of normal versus delayed developing dentitions with palatally displaced canines.

An earlier study reported on the delayed dental age in about 50% of patients with palatally displaced canines (PDC), suggesting the possible existence of 2 different PDC phenotypes. The present study aimed to determine whether the PDC subgroup with late dental age displays different dental features from the PDC subgroup with normal dental age, supporting the above assumption. The 3 dental parameters examined were mesiodistal and buccolingual tooth sizes, the presence of anomalous maxillary lateral incisors, and other congenitally missing teeth. Fifty-eight subjects with PDC, 37 girls and 21 boys, were divided according to dental age and compared with age- and sex-matched controls. The results revealed marked sexual dimorphism. Delayed dental development was twice as prevalent among the PDC males. The existence of 2 distinct PDC subgroups was supported for males only. One subgroup was characterized by delayed dental development, smaller-than-average teeth, and a marked increase in the prevalence of anomalous lateral incisors. The second subgroup more closely resembled the controls, presenting a timely developed dentition, a moderate and nonsignificant increase of anomalous lateral incisors, and a reduction in the dimensions of only the central incisors and the first molars. In females, although the prevalence of anomalous lateral incisors was slightly increased in the late dental age subgroup, tooth sizes were remarkably similar, negating the existence of 2 distinct subpopulations. Studying the overall PDC group as a single entity produced confusing results because important differences were obscured when the 2 sexes and the 2 dental age subgroups (in males) were combined.

Dental aberrations in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta.

The aim of this investigation was to study dental aberrations in a large sample of unrelated patients with different types and forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Sixty-eight non-related index patients aged 0.3 to 20 years (mean, 10 years) were examined clinically. Panoramic radiographs from 49 patients were analyzed. Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) type I was found in 27 of 65 patients and was significantly more common in OI type III than in types I and IV and in patients with a severe form of the disease. The presence or absence of DI showed almost complete accordance between affected parents and children and between affected siblings. Moreover, agenesis was found in 11 of 49 patients, apically extended pulp chambers in 20 of 48 patients, and impaction of second permanent molars in 7 of 19 patients older than 15 years. The percentage of patients with no apparent dental aberrations was approximately the same in patients with OI type I and type III and in patients with mild and severe form of the disease. The high prevalence of dental aberrations in OI stresses the importance of clinical and radiographic odontologic examination as part of the clinical investigation. In patients with mild forms of the disease, in whom the medical diagnosis is uncertain, demonstration of disturbances in dental development can be crucial for establishing the OI diagnosis. C

A premaxilla with a supernumerary tooth indicating a developmental region with a variety of dental abnormalities: a report of nine cases.

The aim of this study was to elucidate whether a premaxilla with a supernumerary tooth has additional dental abnormalities. The study does not include premaxillas with a mesiodens, only premaxillas with parasagittally located supernumerary teeth. Radiographs from eight children, followed from 1 year and 5 months to 11 years and 5 months in the municipal dental health service in Denmark, were analyzed. One patient was seen only once. Dental abnormalities recorded included: invaginations on permanent incisors, resorption of roots of incisors, curved roots of incisors, delayed eruption, and delayed formation of roots. The study shows that there are dental abnormalities within the premaxillary region where the supernumerary tooth is located. This indicates that, apart from the supernumerary tooth, a more widespread deviation from normal conditions including tooth malformation, arrested eruption, and root resorption occur within the premaxillary region. The most important outcome of this study is that in the region with a supernumerary tooth the adjacent incisor shows delayed eruption after surgical removal of the supernumerary tooth. The deviations in root morphology, including root resorption, are not limited to patients who have had orthodontic treatment, but patients who did not receive orthodontic treatment also revealed deviations in root morphology. Therefore the treatment outcome can be different from the expected outcome.
