1. Developmental anomalies of the oral cavity, teeth and intestine Flashcards
Causes of oral cavity anormalities
Hereditary factors such as
- maternal nutrition deficiency
- teratogenic effects during pregnancy
- mechanical interference with embryo
aprosopia
missing facial bones
prognathia/brachynathia
Maxilla or mandible are longer / shorter
Diprosopia, Dignathia superior or inferior
Duplicated
Agnathia
Absent
Cheiloschisis
Failure in fusion of facial soft tissue (skin, muscles, mm)
failure of fusion of facial bone
Cheilognathoschisis
Cleft lip
failure of fusion of maxillary & medial nasal processes:
medial cleft lip = hare lip (Cheiloschisis superior media)
lateral cleft lip = lateral cleft lip (Cheiloschisis superior laterale)
if reaches up to orbita = facial cleft
Meloschisis
Cleft palate:
failure of fusion of lateral palatine process and nasal septum, &/or median palatine process
(Palatoschisis)
- Transverse facial cleft:
failure of fusin of maxillary & mandibular process (Prosoposchisis)
anomalities of the teeth
dental arch is longer or shorter
abnormality of one tooth
abnormal tooth structure or number
Dental arch is longer or shorter →
Prognathia or Brachygnathia,
Consequence of prognathia
Abnormal number
