Canadian Eskimo permanent tooth emergence timing.

To identify the times of emergence of the permanent teeth of Canadian Eskimos (Inuit), 368 children and adolescents were examined. The presence or absence of all permanent teeth except the third molars was recorded and these data subjected to probit analysis. Female emergence times were advanced over males. Generally, the Inuit of both sexes showed statistically significant earlier emergence times than Montreal children, except for the incisors. The present results do not support hypotheses indicating that premature extraction of the deciduous teeth advances the emergence of their succedaneous counterparts. There is some indication the controls of deciduous tooth emergence continue to play some part in emergence of the permanent dentition, especially the first permanent teeth that emerge.

The secretory ameloblast of the mini-pig foetus: Morphology, and effect on morphology of various aldehydes and of delayed fixation.

Electron microscopic investigations of secretory ameloblasts from deciduous tooth germs of mini-pig foetuses and investigations of the ability of various fixatives to preserve these cells in tooth germs immersion-fixed in to 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min and 40 min after death of the mother gave the following results: 1. The ameloblasts exhibit ultrastructural characteristics typical of exocrine secretory cells of merocrine type. 2. The localization of organelles is as in rodent secretory ameloblasts, but differs from the location in the human analogues. 3. Fixation with 4% formaldehyde invariably gives unacceptable ameloblast preservation. 4. Fixation with 2.5% glutaraldehyde gives fair preservation of the ameloblasts when the germs are fixed within 10 min of the death of the mother. 5. Fixation with a fixative mixture 2% formaldehyde-1.25% glutaraldehyde gives good preservation when the ameloblasts are fixed within 15 min of the death of the mother. 6. Fixation with a fixative mixture 2% formaldehyde-1% glutaraldehyde-1% acrolein gives good ameloblast preservation when the germs are fixed within 15 min of the death of the mother.

Double bilateral dens invaginatus in the maxillary incisor region.

Two cases of bilateral double dens invaginatus in the maxillary incisor region have been reported. One of the patients (Case 1), a 12-year-old boy, had double invaginations in both of the erupted teeth in the maxillary lateral incisor region. The other patient (Case 2), a boy 8 years of age, had double invaginations in each of the two partially developed supernumerary teeth that were impacted in the palate in the maxillary central incisor region. Double bilateral dens invaginatus would appear to be a most unusual occurrence.

Localization of objects in the anterior areas with a single Panorex radiograph.

Impacted objects in the anterior dental region can be localized in a labial-palatal direction with a single Panorex film. Clark's rule is applied to the two views of the anterior area obtained. The technique is verified by means of a dry skull with lead markers in known positions, and two clinical cases are reported.

Abnormal tooth tissue in human odontodysplasia.

The affected teeth in this case of odontodysplasia exhibited abnormal hypoplastic enamel, abnormal dentin containing extensive interglobular regions and completely lacking a peritubular matrix, and an abnormal irregular tissue consisting of highly calcified and partially fused granules located within the dentin of the tooth tips. Electron micrographs of the irregular tissue showed that the granules consisted of crystallites densely and radically packed in a noncollagenous amorphous matrix. Granules were surrounded by a slightly calcified, irregularly arranged, collagenous matrix. The irregular tissue formed in the pulp of the tooth tip befofe and independently of the dentin. It was at least partially formed by pulpal calcification. Abnormal dentin matrix was formed by odontoblasts which were less differentiated than normal. Odontodysplastic teeth showed abnormal differentiation of odontoblasts and ameloblasts resulting in defective enamel and dentin and, in extreme cases, in extensive pulpal calcification.

Beliefs about prematurely erupted teeth in rural Yoruba communities, Nigeria.

A descriptive study was carried out in two villages: Badeku and Olodo, near the city of Ibadan, between May and November 1990. The objective of the study was to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of respondents to premature eruption of deciduous teeth in babies. Of the 622 people interviewed, a large proportion (30.5%) believed that the first deciduous tooth should erupt between the age of 5-7 months; the next commonly mentioned time of tooth eruption was 7-9 months of age; and 50.3% of the respondents claimed to have seen a case of prematurely erupted primary teeth. There was a statistically significant association between age and also between educational status of respondents and having seen premature eruption of teeth (P < 0.01). The majority of the people (53.7%) felt that the condition was an indication of an evil child. Only 22.1% of those interviewed thought it could be just an individual variation. On the recommended remedy or management of the condition, as many as 26 (4.1%) said they would get rid of the child. A high percentage felt that sacrifices should be offered to appease the gods. It is suggested that a transcultural approach be adopted in managing cases in which the parents feel particularly anxious and uncomfortable about prematurely erupted teeth in order to cater for the social well-being of the child and family. It is also recommended that appropriate health education be directed at the society as a whole concerning this condition.

[Cleido-cranial dysplasia--two observations].

The radiological changes of cleido-cranial dysplasia are described on the basis of two cases. Special attention is paid to the dental and facio-maxillary aspects. The main features are: (1) Supernumerary teeth, persistence of the first dentition, retention of the second dentition. (2) Open fontanelles and sutures and intercalary bones. (3) Hypo- or aplasia of the clavicles. (4) Defects in the vertebral neural arches and (5) dehiscence of the symphysis due to absent or delayed ossification of the pubis and ischium.

Patterns of crowding of permanent mandibular incisors before eruption.

Observation of the radiographs taken of 37 mandibles from children ten months to seven years of age showed that the unerupted, permanent mandibular central incisors were rotated in 45 of 74 jaw halves (60.8%). The type of rotation in which the mesial aspect is directed lingually was most commonly seen (44.6%). The next most common observation was of jaw halves without any rotation of the central incisor (39.2%). The type of rotation in which the central incisor's distal aspect is turned lingually was the least common observation (16.2%). The rotation seemed symmetric in 25 jaws (67.6%).
