dental anomalies Flashcards
types
number
size and shape
structure - hard tissue defects
eruption and exfoliation
prevalence of hypodontia in the primary dentition
0.1-0.9%
prevalence of hypodontia in permanent dentition
3.5-6.5%
prevalence of missing L premolars
usually 5s
1.2-2.5%
prevalence of missing U2s
1-2%
teeth least likely to be missing in hypodontia
FPMs
U1s
pattern of hypodontia
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
conditions associated with hypodontia
ectodermal dysplasia - sparse hair - lack of sweating Down syndrome Cleft palate Hurler syndrome incontinentia pigmenti
hypodontia problems
abnormal shape/form spacing submergence deep overbite reduced LFH over-eruption of L canines can be a Rx problem when U2s are missing
hypodontia solutions
overenture RPD composite build ups porcelain veneers fixed prostheses - crowns and bridges ortho implants preventative tx - enhanced prevention
what might hypodontia pts need before implants?
may need bone augmentation, sinus lift, distraction osteogenesis
which txs for hypodontia should not be done until early 20s and why?
porcelain veneers
fixed prostheses - crowns and bridges
implants
need gingival margin to have stabilised
prevalence of supernumeraries
1.5-3.5%
gender distribution of supernumeraries
M:F 2:1
what groups are supernumeraries more common in?
Japanese
cleidocranial dysplasia
which jaw are supernumeraries more common in?
maxilla
types of supernumerary
conical - cone shaped
tuberculate - barrel shaped, has tubercles
supplemental - looks like tooth of normal series
odontome - irregular mass of dental hard tissue, compound/complex
what is the most common cause of delayed eruption of the permanent incisors?
supernumerary
what is the most common supplemental and what should you do with it?
lateral incisor
the extra one may be a bit smaller
keep whichever tooth is best for ortho
when should you remove a conical supernumerary?
usually wait until 7-8yrs to remove to avoid damaging developing central incisors
abnormalities of size and shape
microdont macrodontia double teeth odontomes taurodontism dilaceration accessory cusps dens in dente
microdont statistics
2.5%
F>M
example of microdont
peg shaped lateral incisors
macrodontia
rare
<1% for single teeth
0.1% in generalised form in Caucasians
double teeth
gemination - 1 tooth splits into 2
fusion - 2 teeth join to form one
taurodontism
6.3% in UK
flame shaped pulp
teeth look normal - issue with exposing pulp if placing restoration
dilaceration
crown or root
accessory cusps
talon cusps
often do selective grinding - encourage pulp to go back
dens in dente
tooth within a tooth
immediately seal areas to prevent bacterial ingress - you won’t be able to do endo for this tooth
short root anomaly - which teeth are normally affected?
permanent maxillary incisors
short root anomaly prevalence
2.5% incidence
15% of these children also have short roots on the canines and premolars
short root anomaly aetiologies
radiotherapy
dentine dysplasias
accessory roots
short root anomaly impact on tx
means danger for ortho tx
types of amelogenesis imperfecta
hypoplastic
hypomineralised
hypomaturational
mixed forms (with taurodontism)
