Anomalies Flashcards
Name some dental anomalies
Anomalies in: Number, size and shape, hard tissue defects, eruption and exfoliation
Hypodontia - most likely teeth
Mand premolars - 1.2-2.5%, Max lateral incisors - 1-2%
Conditions associated with hypodontia
CLP, Down Syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, Hurler’s syndrome, Incontinentia pigmentii
Dental management of hypodontia
diagnosis, rem prosthesis, ortho, composite build up, porcelain veneer,Implant, crown & bridge and PREVENTION
Hyperdontia/Supernumerary occurence
maxilla more common and > in male
Likely in Cleidocranial dysplasia
Types of superumerary
Conical (cone shaped), tuberculate (barrel shaped - cause of eruption failure of central incisors), supplemental (like original tooth) & odontome (Complex - denticles and compound (mass of hard tissue)
Abnormalities of tooth shape/size
Microdont (peg shaped), Macrodontia, double teeth (germination/fusion), odontomes, Taurontism, dilaceration, accessory cusps (talon cusp)
Anomalies of tooth root
Short root, radiotherapy effect, dentine dysplasia, acessory roots
Structure abnormalities - Enamel
Amelogenesis Imperfecta - Hypoplastic, Hypocalcified, hypomaturational, mixed forms
Environmental enamel hypoplasia - Systemic (dialysis), Nutritional, metabolic (liver disease rhesus incompatible), infection (measles)
Localised enamel hypoplasia - trauma, primary tooth infection
Hard tissue defect aetiology
Localised, generalised, environmental and hereditary
Fluorosis - treatment
Microabrasion, vital bleaching, composite veneers
Warn patient that whitest part is the most unnatural
Generalised environmental enamel defects causes
prenatal
neonatal
postnatal
Prenatal - Rubella, thalidomide, congenital symphilis, cardiac & renal defect.
Neonatal - prematurity, meningitis
Postnatal - otitis media, measles, chickenpox, TB, Pneumonia, vitamin A/C/D, heart disease, organ failure
Amelogenesis imperfecta types & Features
Hypoplastic, hypomineralised, hypocalcified and mixed form.
Familial inheritance - Autosomal DOMINANT, RECESSIVE & X LINKED
Amelogenesis imperfecta diagnosis
family history, both dentitions affected, affects all teeth, tooth size/structure/colour (orange)
Radiograph - square crowns with multiple open contacts
Amelogenesis Imperfecta - problems
Sensitivity, aesthetic, poor OH, Caries/acid susceptibility, delayed eruption , AOB, Issues with dental bonding
