Orthodontic management of a horizontally positioned maxillary lateral incisor.

A case report of a patient who had lost her maxillary permanent left central incisor, left cuspid and left first premolar teeth due to a cyst operation, is presented. The maxillary permanent left lateral incisor was in horizontal position high in the vestibule. She was treated with removable and fixed orthodontic appliances. The lateral incisor was uprighted and brought into its normal position in the dental arch. For aesthetics and function missing teeth were replaced with a specially designed prosthesis.

Crown dilaceration of permanent incisors following trauma to their primary predecessors.

Crown dilaceration of a permanent tooth constitutes 3% of traumatic injuries to developing teeth. It usually involves the maxillary incisors and less frequently their mandibular counterparts. This report concerns a patient, whose primary mandibular central incisors, following a fall at the age of 14 months, sustained partial avulsion with displacement. The teeth were repositioned by the father, with the aid of a pediatrician, and without the assistance of a dentist. The patient presented at the age of 8 years, and, following clinical and radiographic examination, a diagnosis was made of crown dilaceration with lingual displacement of the incisal third of the permanent mandibular central incisors, and hypoplastic enamel on all but the gingival third of their crowns. In addition to this, a supernumerary tooth was discovered labial to and between the mandibular right permanent central incisor and the mandibular right primary lateral incisor. After a brief review of the literature, the treatment of this patient is described and the restoration of the dilacerated teeth, followed by a discussion on crown dilaceration and issues concerning the restoration of such teeth.

[Removal through the coronal approach of the upper wisdom teeth. Apropos of a case of bilateral migration into the temporal fossa].

This report presents a case of double migration of third maxillary molar in temporal fossa and their removal by a coronal approach. A 15 years of old boy, was seen for major trismus. 2 months before, he underwent under general anaesthesy impacted third maxillary molar removal. The radiologic examination showed that superior third molar has been pushed and left into the temporal fossa in both sides. After computed tomography examination, teeth were removed by a coronal approach. This was the only approach in order to preserve facial nerve and to allow with good chances to remove the teeth. Intervention was successful. Postoperative course was uneventful. The buccal apperture was normalized three months after surgery.

Guidelines on the use of space maintainers following premature loss of primary teeth.

OBJECTIVE: To formulate evidence-based guidelines on the appropriate use of space maintaining appliances to prevent or reduce the severity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition following the premature loss of primary teeth. OPTIONS: Placement of lingual arch, palatal arch, band-loop, crown-loop, and intra-alveolar space maintainers. OUTCOMES: Reduced prevalence or severity of space loss in the primary or mixed dentition, reduced prevalence or severity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition measured as significant changes in: crowding, ectopic eruption, impacted teeth, Angle's class II or III occlusion, crossbite, deep overbite, deep overjet, or midline shift. EVIDENCE: Articles published from 1966 to 1996, located though Medline searches. Only clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, or large case series were considered. VALUES: Relevant clinical findings were evaluated and categorized using evidence-based methods and values established by the Canadian Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination. A recommendation was developed for the use of space maintainers. BENEFITS, HARMS AND COSTS: The potential benefits of using space maintaining appliances include reduced prevalence or severity of: crowding, ectopic eruption, tooth impaction, crossbite, excessive overbite and overjet, and poor molar relationship. Other advantages include the potential for considerable cost savings by reducing the need for future orthodontic treatment. The potential disadvantages of using space maintaining appliances include soft tissue impingement, interference with eruption of adjacent teeth, pain, plaque accumulation, caries, and broken, dislodged or lost appliances. RECOMMENDATIONS: There is poor evidence to recommend for or against the use of space maintainers to prevent or reduce the severity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition (see Table 1, Recommendation C) Decisions regarding the use of space maintainers must therefore be guided by factors other than scientific evidence.

Rhinolith in a patient with cleft palate: a case report.

Dental anomalies are well documented in patients with cleft palate, although reports of intranasal teeth in these patients are extremely rare. This paper discusses the case of a rhinolith associated with tooth-like structures in a patient with a treated cleft palate.

Discovery of displaced canines among adolescents in the mid-section of the maxillary and mandibular apical areas and their management.

It is highly recommended that a routine dental examination be a part of the dentist's service to his patients in his private office. And this should also be rendered annually by school dentists in both private and public schools. Emphasis should be done in counting the number of erupted permanent teeth in the oral cavity and the non-erupted ones as well. The latter is performed by thorough roentgenographic examination (panoramic). This procedure can establish the number, approximate size, location and the path of eruption of other permanent teeth, especially the late eruptors, the maxillary canines. Unnecessary surgical procedures and prolonged repositioning of displaced canines by orthodontic procedures should be avoided. Hence treatment and/or management of displaced teeth will be less expensive and the time spent for treatment is reduced.

Inherited retarded eruption in the permanent dentition.

The term retarded eruption, may be used in cases where eruption is inhibited, causing an interruption in the coordination of tooth formation and tooth eruption. The phenomenon may be local or general, and several etiological factors for retarded eruption have been listed, comprising a lack of space, ankylosis, cysts, supernumerary teeth, hormone and vitamin deficiencies and several developmental disturbances and syndromes. The present paper describes several cases of retarded eruption where no factors other than inheritance have been evident. So far 14 cases have been evaluated, 9 boys and 5 girls. In addition several cases have been registered among parents and grandparents of the probands. Typical features are: retarded eruption, defined as more than 3 SD beyond mean eruption figures, comprises all teeth in the permanent dentition, and in 5 cases also second primary molars. The chronology of tooth formation are within normal limits. Consequently the teeth finish development still laying deeply buried in the jaws, often in aberrant positions and with curves or hooks on the roots. When the teeth finally get the "signal" for eruption, 5-15 years beyond normal eruption time, they move rather quickly into right positions, despite the long eruption paths and the hooked roots. Permanent teeth without, as well as with predecessors, are affected. Extraction of predecessors does not seem to provoke eruption. The main features in management are to take care of the primary teeth, to improve-esthetics, and offer surgery and orthodontics when needed. Analyses of pedigrees indicates that the genetic transmittance may be autosomal dominant as both sexes are affected, about half of the siblings show the trait, and the trait shows continuity through generations.
