1/30. Combined surgical and orthodontic management of the oral abnormalities in children with cleidocranial dysplasia.Children with cleidocranial dysplasia have dental abnormalities which combine to prevent normal tooth eruption, and which if untreated may result in abnormal facial and jaw growth. A technique combining orthodontics and oral surgery has resulted in the establishment of excellent occlusion and facial appearance in these patients. Recent advances in direct enamel bonding techniques for orthondontic attachments have permitted a conservative surgical approach with minimal bone removal during surgery to expose unerupted teeth prior to orthodontic treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/30. Bilateral coronoid process hyperplasia with limitation on mouth opening: case report.Coronoid process hyperplasia with limitation of mouth opening is rare. The pathology is often ignored, but it can be easily detected using dental panoramic view of x-ray films. Definition of the coronoid process hyperplasia can be made by measuring the height of coronoid process and the ratio of coronoid/condyle height on lateral cephalometric x-ray film. Etiology of the coronoid process hyperplasia can be congenital or acquired. Differentiation of the diagnosis may be difficult. The congenital type occurs at early age with clinical manifestations. Proposed hypotheses for the formation of coronoid process hyperplasia include increased activity within the temporalis muscle from conditions such as functional stress, compression, and tension. For patients with coronoid process hyperplasia and restriction on mouth opening, conservative treatment should first be attempted. Surgical treatment is considered if conservative treatment fails. Coronoidectomy with early mobilization and aggressive physiotherapy corrects the problem. We present a patient with coronoid process hyperplasia with limitation of mouth opening who was successfully treated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/30. Midface distraction osteogenesis in cleft patients: a case report.We present a case of midface distraction in a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient. The patient was a 10-year-old who underwent a high LeFort I osteotomy followed by placement of the Rigid External Distraction halo. Distraction was commenced on the fifth postoperative day at a rate of 1 to 1.5 mm per day until a total of 17 mm of maxillary advancement had been achieved. There were no complications and follow up was at 9 months post distraction. Results show that the patient had improved facial aesthetics and dental occlusion which was overcorrected to a Class III relationship. Velopharyngeal function was unaffected. Distraction osteogenesis of the midfacial skeleton in cleft patients offers the possibility to remodel not only the underlying bony skeleton but also all the soft tissues of the face and palate.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/30. Dental and oral lesions in two patients with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome).This report is concerned with the manifestations associated with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome) in two patients. Goltz syndrome is a rare polydysplastic syndrome. Systemic findings were similar to those previously reported in the literature and are illustrated. More detailed descriptions of the dental abnormalities are presented. The possibility of root resorption being a previously unreported part of the syndrome is hypothesised.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/30. ellis-van creveld syndrome: dental, clinical, genetic and dermatoglyphic findings of a case.Dental, clinical, genetic and dermatoglyphic findings of an additional female case with ellis-van creveld syndrome (EVC) are presented and compared with those of the cases cited in the literature. The dermatoglyphics of the case was remarkable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/30. Hurler syndrome: a case report.Hurler syndrome is an inherited disorder of mucopolysaceharide metabolism, which is caused by a defect in genetically controlled pathways of lysosomal degradation. It represents the classical prototype of mucopolysaccharide disorder. An interesting case of a three and a half-year old boy with a rare combination of skeletal, neurological, ophthalmologic, and dental findings is presented. It is a rare syndrome with a very low prevalence of 1:100,000 births and as such the clinician should be aware of this syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/30. focal dermal hypoplasia: management of complex dental features.A 17 year-old female who presented for treatment of grossly carious lower first molar teeth had multiple features of focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH). These included enamel pitting and hypoplasia, anomalies of shape, size and positioning of teeth, as well as soft tissue papillomas and telangiectasis of tongue. A case report and a synopsis of the syndrome (FDH) are presented, the oral aspects of the condition are reviewed and the management of the complex dental anomalies is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/30. Characteristics and dental treatment of partial trisomy 9.A description is made of the dental characteristics and treatment of a patient with partial trisomy 9. Due to the deep mental retardation and motor deficiency of the patient involved, treatment (extractions, caries restorations and periodontal treatment) is conducted in hospital and under general anesthesia. trisomy 9 has only rarely been described in literature, and the present study provides one of the first descriptions of both the dental characteristics of these patients and the treatment of their oral pathology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/30. Chondroectodermal dysplasia: a case report.Chondroectodermal Dysplasia is a disease complex consisting of bilateral manual polydactyly, chondrodysplasia of long bones resulting in acromelic dwarfism, hydroitic ectodermal dysplasia affecting principally the nails, teeth and hair and congenital heart malformations. It is necessary to identify this disease at its early stage in order to render prompt treatment. The oral manifestations are characteristic for this particular disease so that a dental surgeon can identify this condition and refer the case to a cardiologist and orthopedician for corrective surgeries. In this article, a case of a 2 1/2-year old child with chondro-ectodermal dysplasia is presented along with radiographic investigations and treatment plan.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/30. Oro-dental manifestations of the Schwartz-Jampel syndrome.A boy with the Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (chondrodystrophic myotonia) had a number of oro-dental complications. These included difficulty in tooth extraction and orthodontic care due to a small oral aperture and rigidity of the temporo-mandibular joints. General anaesthesia was hazardous because of a propensity to malignant hyperthermia, and endotracheal intubation was difficult because of shortness and rigidity of the neck and the small size of the laryngeal structures. awareness of these potential problems is crucial for anaesthesia and comprehensive dental management. The radiological demonstration of dentigerous cysts is a hitherto unreported observation in this disorder.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
