Hypodontia, congenitally missing teeth is more common in permanent than primary dentition. The present investigation reports the prevalence and pattern of hypodontia in the primary and permanent dentitions, excluding third molars in a sample of Saudi children. The sample consists of 1,300 children, aged 5 to 10 years of age. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed. The prevalence of children with hypodontia was found to be 2.6 percent. The mandibular second premolar was the tooth most frequently absent and account for 45 percent of the total missing teeth. In primary dentition, the maxillary lateral incisor was the tooth most frequently absent (9%). A peg-shaped permanent maxillary lateral incisor was present in 0.7 percent of the sample. Congenitally missing teeth were almost equally distributed between maxillary (52%) and mandibular (48%) arches. 相似文献

Tooth transposition is a positional interchange of two adjacent teeth. The most commonly transposed tooth is the permanent canine with either the first premolar or lateral incisor. The records of 54 subjects with transposed canines, both maxillary and mandibular, were collected. Pretreatment study models of these subjects were matched with a similar number of models from unaffected individuals. Bucco-lingual and mesio-distal tooth widths, arch depth and arch width were measured on each model. Thirty-four subjects (63 per cent) were female. Thirty-seven (68.5 per cent) of the cases involved the maxillary arch and thirty-three (89.2 per cent) of these upper arch transpositions were of the canine and first premolar. In cases involving the lower arch the canine was invariably transposed with the lateral incisor. Peg-shaped lateral incisors, supernumerary and/or congenitally absent teeth occurred in 19 subjects. There were some small, but significant differences in the dimensions of some teeth, however there were no statistically significant differences in arch depths, arch widths and most tooth dimensions in subjects with and without transposed canines. These factors do not appear to be related to the development of canine transposition. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution patterns of primary and permanent teeth in the cleft area and the numerical variation in teeth in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients. DESIGN: A survey of the dentition in UCLP patients. SETTING: Craniofacial Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. PATIENTS: 137 UCLP patients who met the following criteria: (1) have had at least one panoramic film taken, (2) the first panoramic film illustrates either primary or early mixed dentition. Evaluation of both permanent and primary dentition was available in 91 cases. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Two evaluators performed independent evaluations of number and distribution of teeth in UCLP patients. The hypothesis that there are two odontogenic origins for maxillary lateral incisors was proposed to explain the occurrence of distribution patterns of dentition in the cleft area and to explain differences between primary and permanent dentition in UCLP patients. RESULTS: Four distribution patterns in the cleft area were identified in both the primary and the permanent dentition. In the primary dentition, placement of the lateral incisor distal to the alveolar cleft was the predominant pattern (pattern y, 82.4%), followed by absence of the cleft side maxillary lateral incisor (pattern ab, 9.9%), presence of one tooth on each side of the alveolar cleft (pattern xy, 5.5%), and placement of the lateral incisor mesial to the alveolar cleft (pattern x, 2.2%). In the permanent dentition, the most common pattern was the absence of the maxillary lateral incisor on the cleft side (pattern AB, 51.8%), followed by lateral incisor placement distal to the alveolar cleft (pattern Y, 46%), lateral incisor placement mesial to the alveolar cleft (pattern X, 1.5%) and the presence of one tooth on each side of the alveolar cleft (pattern XY, 0.7%). The discrepancy between the distribution patterns of primary dentition and permanent dentition successors is 57.1%. Variations in tooth number in both primary and permanent dentition of UCLP patients occurred most often in the cleft area. Abnormalities in the number of teeth (hypodontia or hyperdontia) outside the cleft area were more common in the permanent dentition than in the primary dentition (24.1% versus 4.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Four distribution patterns in the cleft area were identified in both sets of dentition. Our findings of distribution patterns in UCLP patients support the hypothesis that there may be two odontogenic origins for maxillary lateral incisors. Clinicians involved in managing the dentition of UCLP patients should consider the high frequency of numerical variation both in and outside the cleft area before starting dental treatment. 相似文献

The study was carried out on 80 teeth (70 of permanent dentition and 10 of primary one) of mandibular and maxillary bones. The teeth owned to subjects lived in the III c.b.C. in Sicily, and they were found in Naxos necropolis. The teeth were examined as far as carious and non carious lesions, then they were prepared for instrumental analyses by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersed X ray spectrometry (EDS). To an objective examination of the sample no caries were detected in the teeth sample apart one tooth, on the other hand there was an extensive occlusal abrasion, from a macroscopic point of view there were no difference as far teeth morphology. SEM examination pointed out all around dentinal tubules a circle of sclerotic dentin as reaction to occlusal wear. The amelocemental junction showed from a ultramicroscopic point of view an overlap of cementum onto enamel. EDS analysis pointed out a higher P concentration on the crown versus the root in all the teeth of the sample. 相似文献

PURPOSE OF STUDY: To examine factors which may predispose to tooth fracture, and to assess the compressive strengths of foods and sweets which are associated with tooth fracture in vivo. POPULATION STUDIED: Consecutive dental patients presenting with one or more fractured posterior teeth at the surgeries of three general dental practitioners, over a four-month period. METHOD: A pro forma was designed to elicit information on the factors associated with tooth fracture and the nature and extent of such fractures. Three general dental practitioners were requested to complete a pro forma for each patient presenting with a fractured posterior tooth over a four-month period. Foods and sweets considered to be associated with tooth fracture were identified and their compressive strengths tested. FINDINGS: A total of 129 cases of fractured posterior teeth were recorded, of which 48% occurred in the mandibular arch and 52% in the maxillary arch. In the mandible, 75% of tooth fractures occurred in molars while in the maxillary arch 50% occurred in molars. In 57% of cases assessed, no identifiable causative item was noted. Forty-five per cent of fractures were in teeth which had been restored on three or more surfaces. Compressive forces of 0.16KN to 2.2KN were obtained for food items implicated in tooth fractures. CONCLUSION: As mesio-occlusodistal restorations were identified as a major predisposing factor to tooth fracture in this study, with mandibular first molar teeth particularly affected, placement of cuspal coverage restorations may be considered to be a justifiable preventative measure in teeth identified as being at risk. 相似文献

"Double teeth" is a root malformation in the dentition and the purpose of this study was to reconstruct three-dimensionally the external and internal morphology of two "double teeth". The first set of "double teeth" was formed by the conjunction of a mandibular molar and a premolar, and the second by a conjunction of a maxillary molar and a supernumerary tooth. The process of 3-D reconstruction included serial cross-sectioning, photographs of the sections, digitization of the photographs, extraction of the boundaries of interest for each section, surface representation using triangulation and, finally, surface rendering using photorealistic effects. The resulting three-dimensional representations of the two teeth helped us visualize their external and internal anatomy. The results showed: a) in the first case, fusion of the radical and coronal dentin, as well as fusion of the pulp chambers; and b) in the second case, fusion only of the radical dentin and the pulp chambers. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of clinical examination performed with bitewing radiographs or clinical examination using tooth separation to identify carious lesion activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 320 surfaces from 40 bitewing radiographs were examined for approximal caries on the maxillary and mandibular primary molars of 20 patients 3-10 years old. The patients were divided into three groups: (1) Absence of the permanent first molar; (2) Partial eruption of the permanent first molar; and (3) Full eruption of the permanent first molar. Two examiners evaluated the radiographs using a megascope, a magnifying glass (x2), and an amplifying image screen. Approximal radiolucencies were identified on 72 surfaces. Following the radiographic examinations, the two examiners performed conventional clinical inspection using a No. 4 dental mirror, a No. 5 dental explorer, and an air-water syringe, with artificial light and relative isolation. The separation method was performed with elastic bands, which were removed after 24 hours, and the clinical examination conducted as in the non-separation group. RESULTS: The correlation between the extension of interproximal radiolucent lesions in primary dentition and their clinical diagnoses following separation of the teeth, was similar to findings on literature evaluating the permanent dentition. On radiographic findings for enamel lesions, white spots predominated both in the inner (100%) and in the outer (94%) half of enamel upon clinical examination with separation of teeth. For radiolucent lesions in dentin, on the other hand, cavities predominated over white spot lesions (84%). In Groups 1 and 2 (young primary), white spots occurred in cases where the radiolucent lesions reached the dentin (15% and 25%), similar to findings for young permanent teeth. Clinical diagnosis performed with the mechanical separation of teeth cannot be considered conclusive for the primary dentition. 相似文献

A 5-year-old Caucasian male presented with early loss of multiple deciduous teeth. All the characteristics were consistent with the diagnosis of regional odontodysplasia (ROD). Significant initial findings included premature loss of multiple primary mandibular teeth and some malformed permanent teeth. The affected teeth showed hypoplastic enamel and dentin, short roots, and wide pulp chambers, and were localized in the mandibular dentition. Treatment objectives for this patient were to provide improved esthetics, restored chewing function, and space maintenance by the construction of a temporary prosthetic restoration. However, with limited tooth support and an unusual occlusal pattern, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory retention and esthetics with traditional prosthetic techniques. In this article we introduce an alternative method for fabricating a custom removable denture and discuss the prognosis of the malformed permanent dentition and further treatment plan. 相似文献

Following dentofacial surgical procedures, teeth in segments often do not sense thermal or electric stimuli. This study was undertaken to assess changes in the neural component of the dental pulp after posterior maxillary and mandibular segmental osteotomies, with or without interpositional autogenous bone grafting, in 26 Chacma baboons. Innervation was assessed histologically immediately after operation, and at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. Statistically significant differences were present between the experimental and control groups. Even after 18 months no nerves were present in any of the mandibular teeth. In maxillary teeth, 50 per cent had demonstrable nerves in the graft group and 40 per cent in the no graft group. As nerve degeneration was present in the experimental teeth, patients should be warned of possible change in tooth sensibility, following these operations. Careful post-operative follow up for long periods in humans following dentofacial surgical procedures is thus essential. 相似文献

This study describes mesial and distal enamel thickness of the permanent posterior mandibular dentition. The sample comprised 98 Caucasian adults (59 males, 39 females) 20 to 35 years old. Bitewing radiographs of the right permanent mandibular premolars and first and second molars were illuminated and transferred to a computer at a fixed magnification via a video camera. Enamel and dentin thicknesses were identified and digitized on the plane representing the maximum mesiodistal diameter of each tooth. The results showed that there were no significant sex differences in either mesial or distal enamel thickness. Enamel on the second molars was significantly thicker (0.3 to 0.4 mm) than enamel on the premolars. Distal enamel was significantly thicker than mesial enamel. There was approximately 10 mm of total enamel on the four teeth combined. Assuming 50% enamel reduction, the premolars and molars should provide 9.8 mm of additional space for realignment of mandibular teeth. 相似文献

PURPOSE: This study focuses on the curvature and inclination of the lingual surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth from the transition point on the cingulum to the incisal edge. MATERIALS AND METHODS: On 32 sets of mounted casts, 768 measurements were made of the curvature of the lingual surfaces utilizing radius gauges. The inclination of the lingual surface relative to the occlusal plane was recorded. The relationship of the incisal edge of the mandibular teeth to the transition point on the cingulum of the maxillary teeth was determined. Centric occlusion contact was noted on each tooth. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the measured areas of any one tooth and between the types of teeth. The average radius ranged from 20.5 mm on the mesial ridge of the canine to 5.3 mm in the fossa of the central. The average inclination of the lingual surfaces was 46 degrees. In centric occlusion, 97% of the canines and 59% of the centrals and laterals were in contact with the opposing teeth. These contacts occurred 2.8 mm incisal to the transition point. The centrals contracted two opposing teeth (45%), and canines contacted one opposing tooth (53%). CONCLUSIONS: The function and curvature of the incisor teeth vary considerably from those of the canines. Overcontouring the lingual surfaces of the maxillary incisors to gain contact is not normal and may be detrimental. 相似文献

The prevalence and yearly incidence of traumatic tooth injury between 1 and 16 years of age were studied in a cohort of 16-year-olds, born in 1975, and residing in the County of V?sterbotten, northern Sweden. The study comprised 3007 dental records from the public dental health service. The general distribution was 50.3% girls and 49.7% boys. The records showed that 35% of the children on one or more occasions had sustained injury to their primary or permanent dentition. The frequency was nearly twice as high for boys (64%) as for girls (36%). Twenty-five percent of the 16-year-olds had met with tooth injury more than once and this group consisted predominantly of boys. The incidence of injury episodes to primary and permanent teeth was 28 per 1000 per year. The boys had sustained trauma to their teeth most frequently when they were 4 years of age and between the ages of 8 and 11. This was also true for girls at 4 and at 9 years of age, although less evidently so. In the primary dentition, the majority of dental injuries had affected the supporting tissue of the maxillary incisors. In the permanent dentition, 75% of the traumatised teeth were upper incisors. Fractures of varying severity constituted 60% of all registered diagnoses in this dentition, followed by subluxation (19%) and concussion (11%). 相似文献

Findings obtained from dental charts and from radiograph taken one year later for the same individuals were examined and classified according to different criteria. Similarities between the two sources investigated by the canonical correlation method. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The correlation coefficient and the squared multiple correlations (R2) were calculated. Consequently, high similarities were seen between the two sources for the mandibular anterior teeth [sequence: see text], maxillary incisor teeth [sequence: see text], mandibular and maxillary first premolar teeth [sequence: see text], and the corresponding teeth of the same jaws. 2. Three roots showed high elucidative values by the canonical correlation method. The first root was understood to be the mandibular incisor factor, the second the maxillary incisor factor, and the third the first premolar factor. This seemed to indicate, that the similarities between the two sources in these regions were very high. 3. A study of the similarities between the two sources was done based on the individual scores of canonical variable loadings calculated in this analysis. High similarities were seen at [sequence: see text] in category 1 (intact & C1) for chart findings and category 1'(intact, C1-C3 & resin filling) for radiographic findings: at [sequence: see text] in category 2 (C2-C4, inlay & filling of repair) for chart findings and category 3'(stump of tooth) for radiographic findings; and at [sequence: see text] in category 3 (complete crown, jacket crown & post crown) for chart findings and category 3'(stump of tooth) for radiographic findings. 4. The present results suggest that if proper case in taken, one set of information can serve as a substitute for the other. In personal identification, higher efficiency may be achieved if this is borne in mind. 相似文献

Dental anomalies of the maxillary anterior teeth were studied in seventy-seven children affected by unilateral and bilateral clefts of the lip and alveolar process, with or without involvement of the palate. As for the permanent lateral incisor in the cleft area, our results show that its congenital absence is the most frequent abnormality followed by anomalies in size and shape and supernumerary teeth. Enamel hypoplasia was found to affect the permanent central incisor on the cleft side more frequently. Early recognition of tooth abnormalities during the primary dentition phase for an interceptive treatment of potentially severe problems was emphasized. 相似文献

The analyses of the pattern of dental disease in the Late Medieval Serbian population from cemetery excavations in the archaeological site Grachanica were based on the study of tooth wear, ante-mortem tooth loss, caries, hypoplasia, alveolar resorption, abscesses and calculus. The total sample of all available skeletons with almost complete permanent dentition numbers 45 individuals. Dental sample comprises 178 maxillary teeth and 337 mandibular teeth. The presence of dental caries was scored taking into consideration the size of the lesion (four degrees) and its position on the tooth. The degree of tooth wear was graded into one of four categories: atrition of enamel only; atrition involving dentin; atrition up to the level of fissure at the occlusal surface of the molar teeth, and exposure of the pulp chamber. The cystic defects within the alveolar bone were recorded according to their aetiology, size and position. Radiographic study had not been done in order to detect periapical destruction, so the presence of such destruction was recognizable in advanced stages associated with the appearance of fistula penetrating the compact alveolar bone usually at the buccal side. The condition of the alveolar crest resorption, as the evidence of periodontal disease, was graded into three categories, and the distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar crest was measured. The analysis of dental pathology profile consisted of the two reporting methods: individual count method (prevalence of disease based on the number of individuals affected) and tooth count method (distribution of lesions frequency on tooth type and class). The Grachanica dentition exhibits a dental pathology profile typical of agricultural medieval populations in this region. Tooth wear was the most frequent, affecting 95% of individuals. Dental caries and ante-mortem teeth loss exhibit also high frequency (51% and 69%). Dental pains of low prevalence include abscesses (13%) and enamel hypoplasia (20%). In the material examined, the carious process was responsible for pulp exposure to infection in all cases of abscess formation. The results obtained suggest that food processing technology and nature of diet allowed use of abrasive in the food and that oral hygiene was at the low level. On the other hand, there were not a lot of people who were subjected to stress-induced growth disruptures. The findings reported here contribute to understand how dietary change and life conditions are related to the changing patterns of dental diseases in medieval populations. 相似文献

Prenatal exposure to anticonvulsant medication has been shown to cause craniofacial dysmorphology, prenatal growth retardation, hypoplastic nails and phalanges, and visceral abnormalities. In this study we examined maxillary and mandibular stone dental casts (45) and panoramic radiographs (39) from 45 individuals with ages 4.5 to 22.0 years for changes in mesiodistal crown size of deciduous and permanent teeth, and the presence of dental anomalies. These individuals had been exposed prenatally to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Mesiodistal crown diameters were measured from the dental casts and converted into standard scores (Z), using published normative data from the University of Michigan Longitudinal Craniofacial Growth Series. A significant increase in mesiodistal crown dimensions of the posterior maxillary teeth was observed, specifically in primary molars and their permanent premolar successors, as well as permanent molars. Changes in tooth size were more common in females than in males. Dental maturity, assessed using the panoramic radiographs, was equal to chronologic age. An increased frequency of hypodontia was the only notable dental anomaly. 相似文献

Twinning is an anomaly in which one tooth has combined with another or enlarged itself to the point of doubling its substance. A discussion of the nomenclature and a report of bilateral twinning are presented. A possible cause of the twinning events in this case include gemination of the maxillary right and mandibular left canines and fusion of the maxillary left and mandibular right canines with supernumerary teeth. 相似文献

The features of enamel hypoplasia in a small group of patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) are described. Using a recently developed method, the authors evaluated quantitatively the amount of defect in each tooth by measuring the width of the hypoplastic lesions and dividing the value by the crown height. They then assessed the degree of damage in each tooth type (from central incisors to second premolars) and patient. Canines were the most severely affected among maxillary and mandibular teeth, but all tooth types were involved. Analysing both the differences between patients and their age at the beginning of the defect, the authors observe that hypoparathyroidism is not responsible for the onset of enamel hypoplasia in APECED, although it may contribute to the damage. 相似文献

The purpose of this longitudinal investigation was to study changes in the dental arches and dentition that occur in midadulthood in an untreated, normal sample. The subjects had Class I molar and canine relationships with less than 4.0 mm of overjet and less than 50% overbite. None had undergone previous orthodontic treatment. Evaluations and measurements were made from dental casts and periapical radiographic surveys of 15 females and 15 males from approximately 25 years to 46 years. The findings indicate that over the span of the study, significant changes occur in the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and dentition in both males and females, including a clinically significant increase in tooth size-arch length (circumference) discrepancy. These changes should be considered part of the normal maturational process and should be taken into consideration when planning treatment and retention options for adolescent and adult patients. 相似文献

Shape-coordinate analysis of skeletal changes induced by rapid maxillary expansion and facial mask therapy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of this study was to evaluate maxillary and mandibular shape/size changes by means of Bookstein's shape-coordinate and tensor analysis in children with Class III malocclusions treated with rapid maxillary expansion and a facial mask in order to define optimum timing of intervention for this type of therapy. The treated group (46 subjects, 26 females and 20 males) was divided into two subgroups according to the stage of dentitional development. The early-treated group consisted of 23 subjects treated in the early mixed dentition (mean age at Time 1, 6 years 9 months +/- 7 months); the late-treated group included 23 subjects treated in the late mixed dentition (mean age at Time 1, 10 years 3 months +/- 1 year). The mean treatment period was about 11 months. The control group (32 subjects with untreated Class III malocclusion, 18 females and 14 males) also was divided into two subgroups (an early control group, 17 subjects in the early mixed dentition, and a late control group, 15 subjects in the late mixed dentition). Maxillary triangles (point T, the most superior point of the anterior wall of sella turcica, point FMN, the fronto-maxillary-nasal suture, and point A) and mandibular triangles (point Condylion, point Gonion, and point Pogonion) were digitized on cephalograms in both groups at Time 1 and Time 2. Combined facial mask and rapid maxillary expansion therapy produced a significant enhancement of the forward growth of the maxilla and significantly more upward and forward direction of growth of the mandibular condyle (leading to smaller increments in mandibular total length, Co-Pg) in the early-treated group when compared with controls and to the late-treated group. Both maxillary size and mandibular size were significantly affected by treatment in the early mixed dentition. The results of this study indicate that orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion induces favorable size and shape changes both in the maxilla and mandible, and that this combined treatment approach is more effective in the early mixed dentition than in the late mixed dentition. 相似文献
