Dental Anomalies Flashcards
what is the common age group for mental retardation? how many are in the mild ID range?
- before 18
- 85%
what is the incidence of mental retardation?
3% of US pop (6-7 million ppl)
1-10 US families affected by it
what is important to remember about down syndrome in regards to atlanto-axial instability and dental treatment?
-short necks are protective for atlanto-axial stability. Do not ask patients to extend/move neck the same way you would a non-DS pt. May cause injury or paralysis.
inc in the number of teeth
hyperdontia (supernumerary)
*mostly single teeth, but 2 teeth in 12-23%
what is the prevalence of hyperdontia?
- 1-3.8% in whites
- more in asians and AAs
is primary or perm more affected by hyperdontia?
perm (5X)
is the max or mandib more affected by hyperdontia?
max
*paramolar, distomolar, mesiodens
what are the two differenct shapes for hyperdontia?
- supplemental (normal size and shape)
- rudimentary (conical, tuberculate, molariform)
which type of rudimentary is most common?
conical mesiodens (peg shaped)
type of rudimentary hyperdontia that is barrel-shaped ant tooth with more than one cusp
tuberculate
type of rudimentary hyperdontia that is a small premolar or molar
molariform
neonatal teeth in newborns that erupt in 30 days
- most are primary, NOT supernumerary
- often multiple, thin, poorly formed, mobile, rootless
natal/neonatal teeth
*80% normal dentition
are neonatal teeth more max or mandib?
-85% mandib
what problems do neonatal teeth present?
aspiration, feeding problems, riga-fede disease
a traumatic granuloma of anterior ventral tongue associated with natal and neonatal teeth that is a red/white deep, irregular ulcer, that may have soft tissue involvement, heals in 7-14 days
riga-fede disease
lack of tooth developement
hypodontia
what is the prevalence of hypodontia?
-3-10% in perms
- 20% 3rd molars
- primary less than 1%
what % of hypodontia occurs with 1-2 teeth
80%
what is the most common primary tooth affected by hypodontia?
90% max mandib incisor
*high correlation for missing primary and perm teeth
what is the cause for hypodontia?
- familial tendencies and genetic mutations
- PAX9 gene
- MSX1 gene
- AXIN2
