Anomalies Flashcards
Turner’s Hypoplasia (Enamel)
- Periapical inflammatory disease of overlying deciduous tooth
- Varies from focal areas of white to yellow to brown discoloration to extensive hypoplasia
- Permanent PM frequent
- Anterior teeth less frequent bc crown formed before development of PA disease
- Cause: Trauma or caries in deciduous teeth
- MX CIs common
- Clinical appearance of permanent successor dependent on timing and severity of damage
Hypoplasia from Exanthematous Fever
- Age 2-3: Rows of pits or diminished enamel on permanent anterior incisors & M1s
- Age 4-5: Similar pattern seen in cuspids, bicuspids, M2s
- Temporal line: Line of deformed enamel
Fluorosis
- Fluoride enamel defects through retention of amelogenin proteins in enamel
- Creates hypomaturation of enamel, alters light reflection and gives white chalky areas
- Critical period is 2nd to 3rd yr of life when permanent teeth are forming
- Dose dependent from 1.2ppm to 0.7ppm w/ fluorosis in excess of 2.0ppm
- Local excess fluoride from toothpaste ingestion or from fluoride supplements given to infant
- Long term excess fluoride in H2O
Congenital Syphilis
- Transmitted across placenta from infected mother to fetus
- In untreated mother
- Oral Manifestations
- Hutchinson’s Incisors: Anterior teeth have crowns shaped like flat screwdrivers
- Mulberry Molars: Posterior teeth have constricted occlusal tables w/ disorganized surface anatomy
Tooth wear
- Normal physiologic loss of dental structures
- Considered pathologic when creates functional, esthetic, or dental sensitivity
Attrition
Loss of tooth structure caused by tooth to tooth contact
Abrasion
Pathologic wearing of tooth structure by mechanical action of external agent
Erosion
Loss of tooth structure caused by nonbacterial chemical process
Perimolysis
Erosion from dental exposure to gastric secretions
Abfraction
- Loss of tooth structure from occlusal stresses that create tooth flexure w/ failure of enamel and dentin
- Enamel rods are weaker under compression than tension
Ankylosis
- Anatomic fusion of cementum or dentin to bone
- Cause unknown
- Teeth frequently involved
- Primary MN M1
- Primary MN M2
- Primary MX M1
- Primary MX M2
- Rarely permanent teeth
- Tx
- Ortho cannot move teeth
- Extraction of tooth will allow permanent tooth to erupt
- No permanent tooth: Esthetic build up
Hypodontia
- Denotes lack of one or more teeth
-
Anodontia: Complete lack of tooth development
- Anodontia is rare and associated w/ ectodermal dysplasia
- Oligodontia: Lack of 6 or more teeth
- Absence of missing primary = strong chance of missing permanent successor
- M3s, MN PM2, MX LIs
Anodontia
- Complete lack of tooth development
- Rare and associated w/ ectodermal dysplasia
Oligodontia
Lack of 6 or more teeth
Hyperdontia
- Development of increased # of teeth
-
Supernumerary tooth: Single tooth hyperdontia
- 75% of cases
- 95% in MX
- Most common in incisor region
- Mesiodens: Supernumerary tooth in MX incisor area
- Distomolar: Supernumerary M4
- Paramolar: Supernumerary buccal or lingual to molar tooth
- Natal or Neonatal teeth: 85% are primary MN incisors
Supernumerary tooth
- Single tooth hyperdontia
- Most common in incisor region
Mesiodens
Supernumerary tooth in MX incisor area
Distomolar
Supernumerary M4
Paramolar
Supernumerary buccal or lingual to molar tooth
Natal or Neonatal Teeth
85% are primary MN incisors
Microdontia
- Unusually small teeth
- Peg lateral (MX lats) are most frequent, followed by M3
Macrodontia
Larger than avg teeth
Gemination
Single enlarged tooth or joined (double) tooth in which the tooth count is normal, when anomalous tooth is counted as one
Fusion
Single enlarged tooth or joined (double) tooth in which the tooth count is missing a tooth, when anomalous tooth is counted as one
