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

vital bleaching
fluorosis (mild case)

43

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
  • Autosomal dominant most common in USA and Europe,
  • A-recessive 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 affecting enamel ECM molecules
    • amelogenin
    • enamelin
    • kallikrein 4- KLK4
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

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

A

dentinogenesis imperfecta (most common)
dentine dysplasia
odontodysplasia
systemic disturbance

62
Q

dentine dysplasia

A

normal crown morphology

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

Autosomal dominant

    • obliterated pulps (1 and 2) - initially large
      pulp but vvv quickly become obliterated
