Paedodontic Dental Anomalies Flashcards
what kind of dental anomalies can you get
number
size and shape
structure
eruption and exfoliation
what is the most comm missing tooth
mandibular premolars
what teeth are least likely to be missing
6s and upper 1s
what conditions are associated with hypodontia
ectodermal dysplasia
down syndrome
cleft syndrome
Hurler’s syndrome
incontinentia pigmenti
what problem can occur with hypodontia
over-eruption of lower canines can be a restorative problem when upper laterals are missing
what is the dental management of hypodontia
diagnosis when child
removeable prosthesis
orthodontics
composite build ups
veneers
crowns, bridges, implants
ALWAYS PREVENTION
what problems can occur with managing hypodontia
abnormal shape and form
spacing
submergence
deep overbite
reduced LFH
what are the types of supernumerary
conical
tuberculate
supplemental
odontome
what is the most common cause of delayed eruption of permanent incisors
supernumeraries
what issues can we have with size and shape of teeth
microdont
macrodontia
double teeth
odontomes
taurodontism
dilaceration
accessory cusps
what is dens in dente
tooth within a tooth
invaginations on a tooth which have their own pulp system
how do you deal with dens in dente
seal all of the areas to stop bacterial ingress
what root anomalies of structure can occur
short root
dentine dysplasias
accessory roots
what are the enamel structural anomalies
amelogenesis imperfecta
environmental enamel hypoplasia
localised enamel hypoplasia
what are the 4 types of amelogenesis imperfecta
hypoplastic
hypocalcified
hypomaturational
mixed
what has gone wrong if someone has MIH
correct thickness (secretory phasse fine) but not mineralised enough (mineralisation phase had issue)
what can cause localised hard tissue defects
trauma to primaries
caries then abscess of primary incisors
what generalised issues cause hard tissue defects
fluorosis
MIH
how do you treat fluorosis
microabrasion/bleaching later on
