Impacted supernumerary teeth: a survey of 50 cases.

Supernumerary teeth are considered one of the most significant dental anomalies during the primary and early mixed dentition stages. A total of 50 patients, ranging in age from 16 months to 17 years, were studied before, during, and after the surgical removal of their supernumerary teeth. Early removal of such teeth is recommended if they impede the eruption of adjacent permanent teeth, appear inverted or rudimentary, or if they are associated with certain pathological conditions. Complications associated with early removal are infrequent and seem minor in nature.

Bringing impacted mandibular second premolars into occlusion.

Impaction of the mandibular second premolars is relatively rare and may offer general dentists and orthodontists special challenges during treatment. The authors discuss two cases involving impacted mandibular second premolars that had migrated before eruption. Surgical and orthodontic therapies were used to bring the teeth into occlusion. The authors emphasize early diagnosis and a collaborative approach between the dental professionals involved in treating these affected patients.

Treatment options for impacted teeth.

BACKGROUND: A compilation of treatment options for impacted teeth is presented to assist dentists in discussing the sequelae of impacted teeth as well as the complications of treatment with their patients. OVERVIEW: A differential diagnosis for an impacted tooth is not possible without clinical assessment. However, an ankylosed tooth or a tooth with failure of its eruption mechanism may be mistaken for an impacted tooth. This review of national and international dental texts, journals and publications concerning impacted teeth spans more than 50 years. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Treatment options for the management of impacted teeth are separated into four categories: observation, intervention, relocation and extraction. The indications, contraindications and complications of each option are presented. This information will help the clinician identify developmental conditions associated with an increased probability of tooth impaction and assess available treatment options.

Maxillary lateral incisors of subjects with cleft lip and/or palate: Part 2.

Maxillary lateral incisors on the alveolar cleft were investigated in 431 cleft children registered in the Department of Orthodontics, Kyushu University Dental Hospital. The majority of primary maxillary lateral incisors were located on the distal side of the alveolar cleft in both unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (UCLA) and unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) subjects. Permanent teeth in UCLA tend to be located distally, but in UCLP they tend to be congenitally absent (p less than .01). The majority of primary teeth had normal shapes; the majority of permanent teeth were of intermediate type or were missing congenitally. One third of the UCLA and one half of the UCLP subjects who had primary maxillary lateral incisors were not followed by permanent replacements. The location of the majority of permanent maxillary lateral incisors tallied with that of the primary ones except in four UCLA, ten UCLP, and two bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) subjects. Four UCLA and ten UCLP subjects who had primary lateral incisors on the distal side were followed by their permanent successors on the mesial side. Three UCLP and one BCLP subjects had permanent maxillary lateral incisors even though they had no temporary predecessors.

Position of upper permanent central incisors prior to eruption in unilateral cleft lip and palate.

The position and degree of eruption of permanent central incisors within the premaxilla were measured on x-ray films obtained in 102 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate and in 52 normal individuals aged 5 years. The patients were subdivided according to sex and to the method of surgical repair (bone grafting or periosteal flap surgery). Individuals with rotated incisors were assessed separately. The results showed that maxillary depth was not significantly reduced prior to palate surgery while the alveolar process was markedly retroclined. An unerupted central upper incisor on the side of the cleft was situated more anteriorly than in controls. Because of the distortion of the alveolar process, it was retroclined and produced a deformation of the subspinal concavity. Both this deformation and the distortion of the alveolar process interfered with the measurements of maxillary depth and rendered it inadequate. The incisor on the normal side was situated more posteriorly than in controls and was less retroclined than the incisor on the affected side. The degree of eruption of incisors on both the normal and affected sides did not differ from controls. The type of surgical repair influenced only the retroclination of the alveolar process and of the incisors within this process. The retroclination was more marked after primary bone grafting than after periosteal flap surgery. The position and degree of eruption of rotated incisors did not differ from nonrotated incisors, and the presence of rotated incisors was not related to the degree of the shortening of maxillary depth. There were no significant differences between males and females.

Retarded eruption of maxillary second premolars associated with late development of the germs.

This study focused on five unusual cases with anomalous eruptions of the maxillary second premolars that related to late development of the germs. In four cases, the affected premolars erupted between the ages of 12y3m and 14y6m. In one case, which was suspected to include bilateral anomalies, the eruption of the premolar was excessively late, continuing up to 17y8m old. It was surmised that the degree of tooth formation in the contralateral side might help to predict approximately at what age the late premolars will erupt.

Tooth transpositions associated with dental anomalies and treatment management in a sample of orthodontic patients.

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of tooth transpositions in a sample of orthodontic patients, describe the accompanying anomalies and report on the management and therapeutic outcome. Overall, the male to female ratio was 4:3, left side predominance was evident, and there was a high incidence of associated dental anomalies. Attempts to correct tooth order usually resulted in untoward effects on periodontal tissues. Consequently, individual anatomical conditions may be decisive in successful clinical management of such cases.

Mucogingival interceptive surgery of buccally-erupted premolars in patients scheduled for orthodontic treatment. II. Surgically treated versus nonsurgically treated cases.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this 2-year longitudinal study was to compare the width of keratinized gingiva after orthodontic therapy for buccally erupting premolars that had been pretreated by extraction of deciduous teeth alone versus interceptive mucogingival surgery. METHODS: In 8 patients (aged 9 to 12 years) who presented with bilateral buccal eruption of homologous teeth (premolars), one side was randomly treated with extraction of the deciduous molar and mucogingival surgery (test site), while the other side was treated only by extraction of the deciduous molar (control site). All of the subjects underwent orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. RESULTS: At the baseline visit prior to any treatment, there was no significant difference between the mean amount of keratinized gingiva at test sites (3.06 mm) and control sites (2.93 mm). Two years later, upon completion of orthodontic treatment, there was a significant difference between test (2.93 mm) and control (1.37 mm) sites in the mean width of keratinized tissue. In the control (untreated) group, 2 sites exhibited 1 mm of gingival recession after orthodontic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Mucogingival interceptive surgery is an effective technique to maintain keratinized tissue in correspondence with buccally-erupted teeth.

Survey of dental treatments for pediatric patients referred to the pediatric dental clinic of a dental school hospital.

This survey was conducted to clarify which dental treatments in children are regarded as difficult by general dentistry practitioners. The subjects were 615 children who first visited Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital from January 1995 to August 1999 with reference letters. There were 615 children in the study; 571 (92.8%) came from Chiba City where our hospital is located and the 11 regions surrounding Chiba City. The prime reasons for referral in the order of frequency were treatments of dental caries, malalignment/malocclusion, traumatized teeth, supernumerary teeth, retarded eruption/impacted teeth, abnormal direction of erupted teeth, congenitally missing teeth, prolonged retention of deciduous teeth, and abnormal frenulum. Patients with dental caries or traumatized teeth in the deciduous dentition period and those with malalignment/malocclusion, supernumerary teeth, or retarded eruption/impacted teeth in the mixed dentition period were often referred to medical organizations specializing in pediatric dentistry because of the difficulties in controlling the patients' behavior and in providing adequate treatment. The information about pediatric dental treatments considered difficult by general dentists revealed by this survey appears to be useful and needs to be incorporated in the programs for clinical training of undergraduate students and education of postgraduate students.

Third molars in Norwegian general dental practice.

A questionnaire containing 37 questions on oral surgery was mailed to a systematic random sample of 500 Norwegian general dental practitioners in October 1989. A 60% return rate was obtained. A selected part of the questionnaire was also presented to all 5th-year dental students in Bergen and Oslo. The total return rate was 43%. From the 17 questions dealt with in this paper the following conclusions were drawn: Norwegian general practitioners' attitudes towards indications for third-molar removal are in general agreement with the current conservative approach. Norwegian 5th-year dental students had more radical attitudes. Norwegian general practitioners indicated the use of adequate technical measures when surgically removing third molars in practice. Every month 4.3 patients presented to general practice with symptoms or findings indicating removal of an impacted or partially erupted third molar. This suggests that in 1 year a situation indicating third-molar removal will occur in 20% of the patients who have third molars.

Management of nasally erupting deciduous canine in operated cleft lip and alveolus patient.

Nasally erupting tooth is a rare finding seen associated with cleft lip and alveolus. It may be diagnosed as a result of symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, pain on sneezing or blowing the nose or may remain asymptomatic. A case of a 4 year old male child operated for bilateral cleft lip and alveolus with unilateral right sided nasally erupting deciduous canine is presented here.

Premature dental eruption: report of case.

This case report reviews the variability of dental eruption and the possible sequelae. Dental eruption of the permanent teeth in cleft palate children may be variable, with delayed eruption the most common phenomenon. A case of premature dental eruption of a maxillary left first premolar is demonstrated, however, in a five-year-old male. This localized premature dental eruption anomaly was attributed to early extraction of the primary dentition, due to caries.

Orthodontic management of mandibular lateral incisor-canine transpositions: reports of cases.

This article presents different treatment aspects in three mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition cases. The early identification of transposed teeth simplifies orthodontic correction. Incomplete transposition cases can be managed successfully by interceptive orthodontic treatment. If complete transposition occurs, two treatment alternatives may be possible: Extraction of the transposed tooth or keep the teeth in their transposed positions.

Dilacerated incisors and congenitally displaced incisors: three case reports.

Three cases of dilacerated incisors and congenitally displaced incisors are reported. Dilaceration of central incisors occurs following trauma to the deciduous dentition. Generally these teeth are so severely malformed that they have to be extracted. Congenital displacement of the central incisors is an idiopathic condition with a generally favourable prognosis for orthodontic alignment.
