Theme 4 Dental anomalies Flashcards
3 causes of impacted teeth
- lack of space
- pathology - cysts, odontomes, tumours
- syndromes
2 syndromes casing supernumerary teeth
cleidocranial dysostosis + gardeners syndrome
most popular impacted teeth?
8 > upper 3 > upper 1 > lower 4 > lower 5 > supernumerary
8 > 3> lower 4/5 > 1
when can you extract a 3rd molar
- must have pathology
- tumour resection
- prior to orthographic surgery
signs and symptoms of impacted teeth
retention of primary teeth tooth missing swelling mobility, tilting, loss of vitality of adjacent tooth periocoronitis
radiographic signs that IAN is close to tooth?
darkening of root
diversion/narrowing of canal
interruption of cortical outline
diversion/narrowing of root
what imaging is used to further assess lower 3rd molar extractions?
CBCT
6 treatment options for impacted teeth
- leave
- remove
- expose
- transplant
- coronectomy
- interceptive ortho
3 functions of elevators
- dilate socket
- move tooth along natural path of withdrawal
- remove bone
purpose of bone removal in MOS
reveal tooth
create point of application
access the furcation
relieve + impaction
common sequelae to transplanting a tooth
resorption - leading to early RCT
what treatment may be indicated in very high risk impacted 3rd molars
coronectomy
hard tissue complications to extraction
teeth - damage adjacent, retained roots, displace teeth/roots, OAC
bone - fracture tuberosity, fracture mandible, sequestrum
soft tissue complications of MOS
mechanical burns
crushing flap
poor flap design
neurovascular damage
most common missing teeth
8 > upper 2s > lower 5s
permanent > primary
F >M
genes related to number of teeth
homeobox, MSX1, PAX9
3 types of supernumerary teeth
mesiodens
paramolar
distomolar
most common supernumerary teeth
upper 2s > lower 5s > uppers 5s
what is hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia?
hypodontia/anodontia associated with lack of hair, sweating + saddle nose
what are cleft lip/palate, downs, croutons, ellis van creveld + oral facial digital all associated with?
