Macrodontia of a mandibular second premolar: a case report.

Localized macrodontia is very rare. The majority of cases have been reported in mandibular second premolars. This paper describes the dental management of a child who presented with macrodontia of a mandibular right second premolar.

Case report: restorative options in regional odontodysplasia.

A case of regional odontodysplasia in a 13 year old female is reported. The restorative options in this case are considered along with the rational for providing a dentine bonded all-porcelain bridge. This approach restored both function and aesthetics with minimum destruction to the hypoplastic tooth tissue of the abutment.

[Secondary retention of permanent molars. II. Therapy].

The efficacy of 5 treatment modalities for secondary retention of permanent molars was evaluated in 62 patients with 92 affected molars. The results showed that a prosthetic build up is a proper treatment if secondary retention develops late in or after the growth spurt. In these cases the extent of infraocclusion is slight and relatively stable. If secondary retention starts before the growth spurt, immediate removal of the retained molar followed by orthodontic treatment to close the diastema gives maximal success. When secondary retention develops during the growth spurt, the tooth affected has to be observed at six monthly intervals. In such cases, no active treatment is indicated if the extent of infraocclusion is minor and stable. In all other cases the affected molar should be removed, followed by orthodontic closure of the diastema.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis with distinct dental, skeletal and developmental abnormalities.

A case of a 9-year-old child with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, supernumerary tooth, chest deformities, auricular cartilage deformation, joint laxity and undescended testes is described. The exact mode of inheritance is unclear; a new mutation pattern is possible. These features resemble but differ from the previously reported Laband syndrome. The dental treatment consisted of surgical removal of the fibrous tissue and conservative restorative treatment under general anesthesia. The dental practitioner should be alert for developmental abnormalities such as supernumerary teeth and delayed tooth eruption. A comprehensive medical history and physical systemic evaluation is essential to rule out other systemic abnormalities. Genetic consultation is mandatory for future family planing.

Ectopic third molar in the condylar process: case report.

We describe an ectopic inferior third molar which is positioned in the condylar process and associated with an odontogenic cyst. The ectopic third molar is a quite frequent condition but it become unusual when the tooth is placed in the condylar region. In the reported case the removal of both the tooth and the cyst was recommended to solve the infective and articular symptoms and to prevent worse complications like pathologic fractures due to bone's absorption.

Infraclusion of primary molars: a review and report of a case.

The term infraclusion is usually used to define mandibular primary teeth in posterior region that remain below the occlusion level. The degree of infraclusion depends on some factors like deviation below the occlusal plane, and infraclusion of tooth in the alveolar bone. Deficient eruptive force, disturbed metabolism of the periodontal ligament, trauma, local inflammation, deficient local vertical bone growth, disturbance in interaction between normal resorption and hard tissue repair, ankylosis and hereditary components have been given as etiological factors. Complications of infraclused primary molars are tipping of the neighboring teeth, space loss, supraeruption of the antagonists, and dislocations of permanent teeth lying under the primary tooth. In this case report, after reviewing the literature a patient with infraclused mandibular primary second molar has been examined to observe the complications of infraclusion. With an appropriate treatment approach, a proper condition was prepared for the eruption of permanent teeth.

Third molar extraction. Current trends.

Extraction of third molars is the operation most frequently performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The American National Institute of Health (1979) and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (1993) have organised consensus conferences to systematically analyse the scientific evidence and provide official guidelines for the management of third molars. However, some clinical aspects are still controversial: indications for preventive extraction, early extraction, prognosis of impacted teeth, continuous follow-up, relationship with anterior crowding and temporo-mandibular disorders. This article reviews the conclusions from the consensus conferences and integrates them with more recent data. The actual trend seems to justify a more conservative clinical approach rather than an aggressive extraction policy.

Esthetic periodontal considerations in orthodontic treatment--the management of excessive gingival display.

This paper examines various esthetic periodontal considerations during orthodontic treatment. The management of excessive gingival display caused by altered passive eruption is reviewed, with emphasis on causes, recognition, diagnosis and surgical management of this problem. A case of orthodontic treatment of excessive gingival display associated with altered passive eruption of the maxillary incisors is reviewed to demonstrate appropriate management. With proper diagnosis, soft-tissue periodontal procedures after completion of orthodontic treatment can enhance the patient's final appearance.

[Complications of injuries to deciduous teeth].

The traumatisms of the temporary teeth are very frequent. They are bound to the acquirement of the march, to the games, to the sport and to the accidents of the public way. Favoured by the presence one improved proalveoly, they constitute a dental emergency of makes some important risks of complications. Indeed, these traumatisms, in case of belated conference and/or of maladjusted treatment or conducted pain, could induce some complications and have some aesthetic and functional after effects on the dental germ underlying. Some of these complications observed in some patients are stakes in evidence by some iconographic illustrations.

Primary molars in severe infraocclusion: a retrospective study.

UNLABELLED: The term severe infraocclusion is used to describe teeth located at the level of or below the alveolar crest and is rare. AIM: The aims of the study were to evaluate the influence of age of diagnosis and treatment on the outcome of the successors of primary molars with severe infraocclusion and to propose a treatment protocol based on the age of diagnosis. METHODS: A retrospective study of patients with primary molars in severe infraocclusion (PMSI) in the period 1987-2001 was carried out. Parameters assessed were age, sex, degree of infraocclusion based on radiographs, altered position of adjacent and successor teeth and treatment outcome. RESULTS: The sample comprised 19 patients with 23 cases of PMSI, all were second primary molars (47.8% maxillary and 52.2% mandibular). Migration of the neighbouring tooth was present in 51.5% of cases. The PMSI treatment was by extraction in all cases, a space maintainer was fitted and remained in place until the eruption of the successor. The outcome was favourable in 82.6% of cases. CONCLUSION: Successful treatment of PMSI depends on prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment and follow-up of the cases. The earlier the age of detection, the more favourable the outcome.

Orthodontic/restorative interface.

There have been many advances in orthodontic and restorative procedures. These can be combined to provide a very powerful tool in providing the optimum results. This article describes when a combined approach would be appropriate and discusses how the various problems are overcome.
