Dental Anomalies II Flashcards
How can eruption be disturbed?
Can be premature or delayed?
When are more likely to see premature eruptions of teeth?
High birth weight
Hormonal abnormalities - excess GH/ thyroid
Whats a neonatal tooth?
Teeth erupt in first 30 days due to superficial or ectopic position tooth germ
Issue w/ neonatal teeth?
No root is formed - mobile - risk of inhalating and will interfere w/ feeding
Management of neonatal teeth?
XLA due risks
When is it common to see delayed eruption?
Low birth weight
Pre-term syndromes
Endocrinopathies impaction
What are reasons for premature exfoliation?
Trauma or extraction
Immune - cyclic neutropenia
Cementum deficiencies
What are reasons for delayed eruption?
Infraocclusion
Ectopic successors
Hypodonita
What defects can see in structure of tooth?
All tissue - arrested development
Enamel defects
Dentine defects
Cementum defects
Example of enamel defects?
Hypomineralisation
Hypoplasia
Discolouration
What is hypomin?
Poor quality of enamel - porous leading to opacities
What is hypoplasia?
Poor quantitiy of enamel = pits, grooves
What are some systemic effects that can cause enamel defects?
Maternal and foetal conditions e.g rubella
Premature/ low birthwieght
F- - excessive dose
Severe/chronic child hood ilness
What child hood illness could cause enamel defect?
Feveres
Measles
Chicken pox
Use of tetracylinices
What systemic features can give localised enamel defects?
Infection/ trauma
Cleft lip/palate
Example localised enamel defect?
MIH
Why get opacities in hypo mineralisation?
Disruption to mineralisation at maturation stage causing porosity
How does hypomin appear?
White/cream/yellow/brown opaque patch - have altered translucency due to altered texture
