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
genetics involved with hypodontia that affects perm molars and other teeth in severe cases
PAX9
genetics involved with hypodontia that affects 3rd molars, 2nd premolars, +/- premolar, and max lateral incisor
MSX1
genetics involved with hypodontia that affects 3rd molars, 2nd molars, 2nd premolars, mandib centrals and laterals, max laterals and COLON POLYPS AND CORECTAL CANCER
AXIN2
which is more common, single tooth macro or micro dontia?
- micro = common
- macro = rare
