Q

Amelogenesis imperfecta pattern of inheritance

A

sporadic
almost all teeth are affected to more or less the same extent
developmental condition
genomic in origin
affects the structure and clinical appearance of enamel
associated with morphologic or biochemical changes elsewhere in the body

Q

Other issues associated with AI

A

Accelerated tooth eruption
Impacted perm teeth
Ectopic eruption - second molars
Agenesis of second molars
AOB - 50% in hypoplastic AI
31% in hypomineralised AI
60% in hypocalcified AI

17
Q

Conditions associated with AI?

A

Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome - v curly hair in infancy and brittle bones

Cone-rod dystrophy - eventually leads to blindness

Taurodontism - dpt

Nephrocalcinosis

18
Q

Associated issues with AI

A

Lifelong tx needed
Aesthetic needs
Ectopic eruptions of impacted teeth
Psychological considerations
Sensitivity
Tooth wear and dysfunction - loss of vertical dimension which needs to be preserved
Bonding issues
Malocclusion

19
Q

Management of AI

A

Address pt concerns
Prep patients for long term tx
Tx depends on the type of defect
3m appl of F
Perm restorations when all dentition erupted
Crowns to prevent breakdown and maintain OVD

20
Q

Anterior teeth management

A

Microabrasion and bleaching
Composites - 5% NaClO if poor bonding

21
Q

Posterior teeth management

A

PMC, onlays, XLA, endo (less common)

22
Q

Dentogenesis imperfecta

A

1/6000-8000
Affects dentition exclusively
Associated with systemic conditions
Autosomal dominant pattern - 1 copy of gene needed to cause disorder
Can be associated with osteogenesis imperfecta if type 1 Di

23
Q

What mutations cause DI 1

A

Osteo imp association
COLIA1 and COLIA2 gene

24
Q

What mutations cause D1 2 and 3

A

DSSP gene

25
Q

Manifestations of DI 1

A

Ost Imp
Teeth appear amber and translucent with attrition
Radiographs - short constricted roots and dentine hypertrophy leading to pulpal obliteration
Some teeth show total pulpal obliteration whilst on other the dentine appears normal
MRONJ, bisphosphonates = rare in children

26
Q

Manifestations of DI 2

A

2 + 3 appear in people without inherited disorders
type 2 - bulbous crowns and are typical features with marked cervical constriction. normal teeth are never seen
Hearing loss

27
Q

Manifestations of DI 3

A

Clin features are variable and resemble those seen in DG 1 and 2 but primary teeth show multiple pulp exposures

Radiographic appearance = shell teeth which appear hollow due to hypertrophy of dentine

28
Q

Management issues with DI

A

Aesthetics
Function
Psychological considerations
Management aims remain the same as AI

29
Q

How to manage primary teeth

A

SSX
Composite strip crowns
Overdentures
XGA

30
Q

How to manage permanent teeth

A

Anteriors - composite
microabrasion/bleaching
overdentures

Posteriors
PFM
Cast gold inlays

31
Q

Radiographic features of DI

A

Enamel/dentine radiolucency normal
Bulbous crown
Constricted short roots
Pulp canal obliteration (PCO)
Pinched teeth at cervical margins
Thin, spindly roos
Short ADJ = not defined
Taurodontism, long horned pulp chamber

32
Q

Bisphosphates in Osteogenesis imperfecta

A

Inhibit bone resorption
Oral and IV preps
Small blood vessels affected
MRONJ
Limited bone healing
Increased susceptibility to infection
2-8 years

Complete all dental tx in children before prescribing
Post prescribing - non surgical tx if possible and CHX mouthwash pre and post of +/- ABs
