Q

pattern of hypodontia

A

if a tooth is missing it tends to be the last in a series

except L incisors - central more likely to be absent because of genetic programming - L2 coded before L1

A

systemic
nutritional
metabolic e.g. rhesus incompatibility, liver disease
infection e.g. measles

36
Q

localised enamel hypoplasia

A

trauma or infection to primary tooth

infection to primary molars can lead to spots on premolars

37
Q

hypomineralisation

A

secretory phase fine, correct thickness of enamel
mineralisation phase affected
white/brown/yellow patches

38
Q

hypoplastic

A

happens at earlier phase of amelogenesis
secretory phase affected
quality of enamel usually fine as mineralisation phase unaffected

39
Q

aetiology of hard tissue defects

localised - trauma, caries then abscess of primary

generalised - env, hereditary

40
Q

fluorosis aetiology

A

generalised and env

41
Q

mild - white flecks
- explain to pt that tx will remove the white flecks not the normal darker tissue
severe - brown patches
tends to be on the surface layer of enamel

42
Q

tx of fluorosis

microabrasion
veneers
vital bleaching

43
Q

MIH aetiology

Q

prevalence of AI

1 in 14000

49
Q

types of AI

A

hypoplastic
hypomineralised

mixed with taurodontism

50
Q

AI inheritance

A

familial inheritance

autosomal dominant, recessive and X-linked

51
Q

does AI have an associated systemic disorder?

A

not thought to

52
Q

different inheritance patterns of AI more common in certain areas

A

AD most common in USA and Europe, AR in Middle East

Generally AI is more common in Scandanavia

53
Q

AI genetics

A

E formation needs multiple genes to transcribe the process of crystal growth and mineralisation
gene mutations found so far involve enamel ECM molecules amelogenin and enamelin and kallikrein 4

54
Q

diagnosis of AI

A

FH (but can be a new mutation)
generally affects both dentitions
- tends to be worse in permanent dentition - often not diagnosed until then
affects all teeth
tooth size, structure, colour
radiographs
- can’t see obvious change in radiolucency between E and D - can’t see ADJ

55
Q

hypoplastic AI

A

enamel crystals do not grow to correct length

56
Q

hypo mineralised AI

A

crystallites fail to grow in thickness and width

57
Q

hypomaturational AI

A

enamel crystals grow incompletely in thickness/width but to normal length with incomplete mineralisation

58
Q

AI problems

A
sensitivity
caries/acid susceptibility
poor aesthetics
poor OH - hard to brush teeth properly as sore
delayed eruption
AOB
59
Q

systemic disorders associated with enamel defects (not AI)

A
epidermolysis bullosa
incontinenta pigmenti
Down Syndrome
Prader-Willi
porphyria
tuberous sclerosis
pseudohypoparathyroidism
Hurler's
60
Q

AI solutions

A
preventive therapy - enhanced prevention
composite veneers/composite wash
FS
metal onlays
SSCs
 - often when young and 6s just through, replace when older
ortho
 - brackets may debond - may need metal bands around teeth
61
Q

anomalies of structure - dentine

A

dentinogenesis imperfecta (most common)
dentine dysplasia
odontodysplasia
systemic disturbance

62
Q

dentine dysplasia

A

normal crown morphology
amber radiolucency
pulpal obliteration
short constricted roots

63
Q

odontodysplasia

A

localised arrest in tooth development, thin layers of E and D, large pulp chambers, “ghost teeth”

64
Q

systemic disturbances in dentine structure

A

nutritional
metabolic
drugs

65
Q

DI prevalence

A

uncommon

much less common than AI

66
Q

types of DI

A

3

67
Q

type 1 DI

A

osteogenesis imperfecta (blue sclera)

68
Q

type 2 DI

A

AD

tends not to be associated with other systemic conditions

69
Q

type 3 DI

A

Brandywine, Maryland USA - Native American Indian, Irish, Afro-American - not really any new genes - inbreeding

70
Q

DI problems

A

aesthetics
caries/acid susceptibility
spontaneous abscess
v poor prognosis

71
Q

DI diagnosis

A

appearance
FH
associated OI
both dentitions affected
radiography
- bulbous crowns
- obliterated pulps (1 and 2) - initially large pulp but vvv quickly become obliterated
enamel loss - because no proper connection at ADJ
cult abscess formation - no obvious disease related to crown of tooth

72

prevention
composite veneers (but not much to bond onto)
overdentures
removable prostheses
SSCs

A

infra-occlusion
following trauma

‘double’ primary teeth
hypodontia
ectopic permanent successors
=these have no permanent tooth to push out primary tooth

84
Q

infraocclusion prevalence

A

1-9%

M=F

85
Q

infra occlusion - which is the most common?

A

L D - congenital absence of premolar

86
Q

infra-occlusion time course

A

majority exfoliate normally by 11-12 years
tooth isn’t sinking into gum, it just isn’t moving
some ankylosed - will need extracted - difficult
