Oral manifestations of oxalosis secondary to ileojejunal intestinal bypass.

Oxalosis is a rare condition that may be either hereditary or acquired. It may be secondary to a number of primary causes, which include renal failure, oxalate poisoning, malabsorption syndromes, and in this case, ileojejunal bypass surgery. Systemic oxalate overload following such bypass surgery results from a defect in the enterohepatic circulation and from the loss of calcium and bile salts in the feces. The oxalate is then absorbed into the circulation, and the supersaturated solution precipitates in the systemic tissues. Reported cases of oral involvement are rare. This article presents a 2 1/2-year follow-up of such a patient and the resultant progressive and unrelenting nature of the disorder. As a result of our experience, we suggest early aggressive oral surgical management of the widespread oral lesions.

Correlation between maxillary sinus floor topography and related root position of posterior teeth using panoramic and cross-sectional computed tomography imaging.

OBJECTIVE: This study correlated the topographic relationship of the maxillary sinus floor to the roots of posterior teeth imaged by panoramic radiography and cross-sectional computed tomography (CT). STUDY DESIGN: Paired panoramic radiographs and CT images of maxillae from 80 subjects were analyzed. A total of 422 maxillary roots were classified according to their topographic relationship to the maxillary sinus and measured according to their projection lengths on the sinus cavity for both imaging modalities. Correlations between the 2 radiographic techniques were examined statistically. RESULTS: Teeth roots that did not contact the sinus floor or contacted it but did not project on the sinus cavity (classifications 0 and 1) showed a high agreement of 86% to 96% when using the 2 imaging techniques. Only 39% of the teeth roots that projected on the sinus cavity in panoramic radiographs (classification 3) showed protrusion into the sinus with CT. The panoramic radiographs showed a statistically significant 2.1 times longer root projection on the sinus cavity in comparison to the root protrusion length into the sinus measured by using CT images (P < .001). CONCLUSION: For the majority of the roots projecting on the sinus cavity in panoramic radiographs, no vertical protrusion into the sinus was observed in CT images. Roots that did protrude into the sinus in the CT showed a protrusion length that was much shorter than the projection length appearance using panoramic radiography.

The management of postbleaching cervical resorption.

Cervical resorption has been repeatedly associated with intracoronal bleaching procedures. This report reviews literature associated with postbleaching resorption, a case, and a rationale for management. We observed cervical resorption upon recall of an intracoronal bleaching case. It was successfully treated with a calcium hydroxide "recalcification" procedure. Twenty-three months later, no further resorption has been observed.

Evidence for a dentin-derived inhibitor of macrophage spreading.

The ability of macrophages to spread in vitro on mineralized and non-mineralized tissues extracted with guanidium hydrochloride (GuHCl) was studied in order to establish morphologic evidence for an extractable inhibitor of macrophage spreading present within dentin. Macrophages were seeded onto dentin, demineralized dentin, predentin and hyaline cartilage extracted with different concentrations of GuHCl. Macrophages were also seeded onto unextracted tissues. The results were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy after varying incubation periods. Macrophages readily attached and spread on extracted and unextracted dentin, extracted demineralized dentin, predentin, and hyaline cartilage. Cells seeded onto unextracted demineralized dentin, predentin, and hyaline cartilage attached, but showed no signs of spreading. It was concluded that an extractable inhibitor of macrophage spreading is present in the organic, non-collagenous component of dentin. This inhibitor may be responsible for the resistance of predentin and dentin to resorption.

Trauma quiz. Terribly troublesome, trauma teeth.

Unfortunately, we come across many traumatised teeth during our practising career. Some of these traumatic injuries are rather simple to treat whereas others provide us with a real challenge. It is absolutely essential that the diagnosis of the injury be known before any treatment is attempted. When it comes to trauma, however, defining the exact form of treatment can often be very difficult. In this paper I will discuss some of the cases that I have managed and leave it up to YOU to decide whether my treatment has been correct, incorrect or whether there is some other form of treatment that we have at our disposal that could have been attempted.

Morphologic criteria for root canal treatment of primary molars undergoing resorption.

The endodontic anatomy of primary molars is difficult to predict because of the balance of resorption and hard tissue deposition. In particular, the resorption causes perforating lacunae across the wall of the root, even at the furcation level, and modifies shape, dimension and position of endodontic apex. The phenomenon can be so deep as to compromise endodontic therapy. The first aim of the study was to verify if reliable criteria can be found for treatability in primary molars undergoing resorption, i.e. if it is possible to predict if perforating lacunae are present or not. The second aim of the study was to verify if other informations needed for endodontic treatment, as shape, dimension and location of the apex, and curvature of the root canal can be predicted. For the study, 80 extracted primary molars, 75 of which pulpally involved by caries, were selected. The treatability was evaluated in term of root length, root shape, dimension and shape of endodontic apex, age of the patient and X-ray index of resorption. The association between variables was performed by multiple correspondence analysis. The results suggested that root length was the most reliable criterion of the integrity of the root. The borderline of treatability was at the length of 4 mm. The position of endodontic apex related to anatomical apex, and the lingual related to the buccal root length were analyzed by linear regression analysis. The canal length was often similar to the root length (i.e. the endo and anatomical apices were very close) in lower and upper molars. However, in lower molars, if two or more canals were present in the same root, a discrepancy was observed between buccal and lingual root length. This finding was constant in first lower molars. In addition regression analysis provided a linear function between the lengths of the buccal and lingual side of the same root in lower molars. Its coefficient b was 0.73.
