Mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a young adult: recognition, diagnosis, and treatment and responsibility.

Recognizing an abnormality is the first and most essential step when diagnosing a pathosis. All health care providers are responsible for evaluating suspicious symptoms and clinical and laboratory findings. Without a baseline evaluation, dentists cannot guarantee that patients are free of potentially serious disease. This article documents how the prognosis for and morbidity of cancer therapy may have been affected by the failure to recognize abnormal signs. Professional responsibility and liability for recognition of abnormality and subsequent diagnosis is emphasized.

Role of interceptive orthodontics in early mixed dentition.

Early orthodontic interventions are often initiated in the developing dentition to promote favourable developmental changes and remove or suppress those that are unfavourable. Early interceptive orthodontics can eliminate or reduce the severity of a developing malocclusion, the complexity of orthodontic treatment, overall treatment time and cost. It also improves self-esteem in the subjects and parental satisfaction. Early detection and appropriate referral of cases requiring interceptive orthodontics are important. However, lack of awareness among school children, parents and primary-care personnel (dental nurses and dental officers) may result in patients not being referred for timely interceptive intervention. This article presents a general view of the scope of interceptive orthodontics that can be carried out in early mixed dentition, i.e. when the permanent incisors and molars are erupting into the oral cavity.

Expert systems in orthodontic clinical diagnosis.

Computer-aided diagnosis of orthodontic anomalies is of particular interest in the screening of potential patients. General practitioners and public dental health workers would find considerable benefit in a reliable automated system capable of reflecting the clinical assessments of orthodontists. This study investigates the application of an expert system (Xpert Rule) to the assessment of treatment need using thirteen traits of malocclusion to construct a knowledge base. Decision trees were generated using a pruning option available with the expert system. The results of the study are encouraging and suggest that an expert system is able to generate a useful clinical screening device. Further modification of the knowledge base is required to provide a broader range of case types, particularly those of less common occurrence. It is also suggested that the random aggregation of cases is not the most effective means of developing a knowledge base.

[Complex compound odontoma cystic eruption].

An erupted cystic complex odontoma's case is reported. Histological, radiographic and clinic/fractures were considered. Erupted odontomas are unusual lesions; we did not find similar case reported in the literature.

[Consideration on the treatment of transposition of the teeth].

The two cases with the transposition of the teeth were treated orthodontically. One was a case in which the teeth which had changed places with each other were aligned in irregular sequence, the other was one with the teeth which had erupted at the unusual position were repositioned in order of the tooth number. Those causes and some problems involved in diagnosis and treatment were discussed. 1. The causes of transposition of the teeth in the two cases reported herein seemed to be premature loss of primary teeth and the malposition of permanent tooth germs, respectively. 2. At the time of the planning of the treatment, the following must be considered. 1) Perfect transposition or imperfect. 2) The positions of root apexes and axial inclinations of the teeth irregularly erupted. 3. Root paralleling is most important for the stability of the treatment results. Moreover, in case of unusual alignment, prevention of premature contact in jaw movement and improvement of appearance must be endeavored.

[Bilateral transposition in the mandible].

A bilateral case of transposition of canines and lateral incisives developing in the lower jaw of an eleven year-old age is reported in this paper. The very low occurrence of the condition is emphasized by the author and usually the lesion is diagnosed late, once the disturbance is already established. In the case herewith reported, the advanced eruption of the involved teeth determined the need for orthodontic treatment.

[A rare facial disorder: cherubism].

A rare disorder involving primarily the maxillary region of the face, cherubism has a special place in the galaxy of osteolytic maxillary tumors. This disease is genetically transmitted and its pathogenesis is unknown at present. Its prognosis is considered as favorable since it progresses toward phases of regression and then disappearance--at least partial--of lesions. The main sequelae involve the teeth since agenesis often occurs which--as in the case presented here--is not very easy to correct.
