Developmental Anomalies Flashcards
Cleft lip is the result of
Lack of fusion between the medial nasal process with lateral portions of the maxillary process
When does cleft lip happens in intrauterine life
6th and 7th week
Cleft palate is characterized by
Fissure in the midline of the palate due to failure of fusion if palatal shelves of the max process
Most common form of craniofacial malformation of the head and neck
Cleft lip
Cleft palate
Dental problems in cleft lip and palate patients
Malocclusion
Crown defects
Missing teeth -lateral incisors
Supernumerary teeth
Paramedian lip pits
Congenital invaginations of the lower lip
Bilateral symmetric
Vander woude syndrome
Autosomal dominant
Presence of lower lip pit
Cleft lip/and palate
Inherited disease characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of ectodermal structures
Ectodermal dysplasia
Most common type of ectodermal dysplasia
Hypohidrotic form
X linked recessive inheriitence
Females are carriers
Males are affected
Clinical findings of ectodermal dysplasia
Smooth dry skin
Hypotrichosis - blonde hair eyebrows
Anhidrosis - no sweat glands, heat intolerance
Midface hypoplasia
Dystrophic and brittle nails
Xerostomia
Depressed bridge of the nose
Dental findings in ectodermal dysplasia
Anodontia
Oligodontia
Conjcal crowns tapered and pointed
Autosomal dominant disorder affects face skull and clavicles
Cleidocranial dysplasia - dystotosis
Mutation in which gene results in cleidocranial dysplasia
RUNX2
Hypoplasia or aplasia of clavicles
Hyper mobility of shoulders
Defective ossification of skull
Large prominent frontal eminence
Ocular hypertelorism
Broad base nose shortened skull
Cleidocranial dysplasia
Oral findings in cleidocranial dysplasia
Over retention of deciduous teeth
Failure of eruption of permanent teeth
Numerous supernumerary teeth
Dentigerous cysts
