Cleidocranial dysostosis: report of a case.

This case of cleidocranial dysostosis showed nearly 40 accessory teeth and the unerupted teeth on radiological examinations. Other diagnostic procedures found hypoplasia in maxillary and zygomatic bones, deep palate, open fontanel and open sutures, the collapse of sagittal suture, and aplasia of the clavicle. There were some abnormalities of the fingers. Under general anesthesia eleven supernumerary teeth in the mandible and eight in the maxilla were surgically extracted. Upper and lower removable acrylic appliances were fabricated.

[Frequency of supernumerary teeth and possibilities of treatment].

According to dental literature, the frequency of supernumerary teeth is 1-3%. The authors analyzed the orthopantomograms of 1875 children and adolescents aged between 6 and 18 years to determine the frequency of supernumerary teeth at the Department of Dentistry for Children and Orthodontics. The frequency was found to be 1.92%. The sequence of frequency of supernumerary teeth was: mesiodens, lateral incisor, central incisor. 77.8% of the supernumerary teeth occurred in the maxilla, 97.2% in the frontal region. Besides the data found, two successful cases of surgical and orthodontic treatment are also presented.

Eruption disturbances of mandibular permanent incisors.

In this study, we analyzed 7 eruption disturbance cases of mandibular permanent incisors (5 males and 2 females), aged 5y9m to 10y4m. The etiology was divided into 3 categories: traumatic injuries (3 cases), odontomas (2 cases), supernumerary teeth (2 cases). The procedures such as removal of cause (4 cases), surgical exposure (5 cases) and traction (1 case) were done.

Supernumerary mandibular premolars: report of cases.

Six cases, totaling seven supernumerary mandibular premolars, were seen in a sample population of 4,000 patient records. Four were from a suburban private practice sample of 2,000, the others from a similar group randomly drawn from an urban dental school. Five of seven appeared on the left side, six of seven were impacted or erupted ectopically. Only one patient was female. Four were of Spanish or Hispanic descent, one was white and one was black. The only other supernumerary teeth seen in the population sampled were two paramolars and one mesiodens. The recommended course of treatment is extraction of the supernumerary teeth, unless they may be useful for orthodontic purposes or if the surgery would be unjustifiably hazardous to adjacent structures. Complications could result in resorption of other teeth, malocclusion, and possible cystic degeneration and ameloblastoma formation.

Late forming supernumeraries in the mandibular premolar region.

A case is presented in which two supernumerary teeth developed in the mandibular premolar region during orthodontic treatment. Their presence was only detected on a routine post-treatment radiograph. The potential hazards of space closure with such teeth present are considered, although there were no detrimental effects in the case illustrated.

Mesiodentes in twins: a case report and a review of the literature.

This report describes 7-year-old Afro-Caribbean monozygotic twin boys who both presented with bilateral unerupted mesiodentes palatal to the central incisors. There have been two previous similar reports. From this case and previous reports it was concluded that mesiodentes in monozygotic twins are likely to be concordant with respect to the number of supernumerary teeth. Unilateral mesiodens usually have been mirror imaged in each twin. Minor discordance between monozygotic twins is common with respect to the shape (conical, incisiform or tuberculate) and orientation (inverted or normal) of individual mesiodens within and between each twin.
