1/101. Denture possibilities for patients with mental disorders.patients with mental disorders, due to their specific physical and social status, often lack the possibility for appropriate dental treatment. The objective of our study aims at creating an adequate approach and prospective for currative plan casual. We represent two clinical cases, treated in a different way and we conclude, that every separate patient requires individual approach, from the first contact, through diagnosing and decision making for plan of treatment. Our experience implies that the mental status of the patients is not a reason for refusal of dental treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/101. Dental management of the patient with biliary atresia.biliary atresia is a disease of unknown origin characterized by partial or total absence of the biliary tract. While this condition is rare, the medical and surgical management makes the ramifications for dental treatment increasingly complex. This article reviews the disease and its complications and documents dental treatment of two patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/101. Clinical treatment with the Begg appliance.In a series of three articles, clinical treatment with the Begg appliance has been discussed. In the March, 1973 article, the standard procedures in the three stages commonly used in the Begg method were illustrated in a series of eight cases showing the wide range of orthodontic treatment possibilities of this method. The February, 1974 article contained a case report that illustrated some of the problems connected with orthodontic observation, diagnosis, Begg treatment, and retention. In this third article, due attention has been given to common problems of the chairside worker as encountered in daily practice. Certain comments have been offered, particularly with regard to child dental care and orthodontic guidance procedures of the growing child. A treatment approach, based on an individual optimum for each patient is discussed, following the course of treatment of three cases (Figs. 1, 2, and 4) with unfavorable jaw patterns and dental problems. These are compared with others having better anatomic proportions (Figs. 3 and 5). In the last case (Fig. 5) diagnosis and treatment planning are once again reviewed. The essential decision to be made for each orthodontic treatment, namely, whether and which teeth must be removed, is discussed and illustrated. In all cases, attention has been given to the portrayal of methods and technical details through the three stages of Begg treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/101. Gorham's disease: a case (including dental presentation) of vanishing bone disease.A case of multicentric vanishing bone disease with maxillofacial involvement in a 4-year-old boy is presented. The clinical and histologic features are described along with the subsequent management of the disease, and the literature concerning this unusual and rare condition is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/101. Dental findings in Lowe syndrome.This paper presents the dental findings of a child with the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe. The genetic abnormality in this condition results in an inborn error of inositol phosphate metabolism. Renal tubular dysfunction leads to metabolic acidosis and phosphaturia. At 4 years, generalised mobility of all primary teeth was noted. It is postulated that a defective inositol phosphate metabolism was responsible for the periodontal pathology found in this case. This is in direct contrast with previous reports of prolonged retention of primary teeth in children with this condition. histology of extracted primary incisors demonstrated enlarged pulp chambers and mildly dysplastic dentin formation. This is consistent with a chronic subrachitic state, a known feature of Lowe syndrome, but no prominent interglobular dentin was present.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/101. osteogenesis imperfecta. review of the medical and dental literature and report of a case.osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare congenital bone disease affecting the mesenchyme and some of its derivatives resulting in three basic clinical entities--fragility of bones, blue sclera, and otosclerosis. The medical and dental literature pertaining to osteogenesis imperfecta is reviewed, and a specific dental case is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/101. Bacterial endocarditis of dental origin: report of case.Although appreciated by most practitioners, the fact that dental infection may be the source of bacteremia without a history of recent dental procedures is occasionally overlooked. The case reported here illustrates what we feel is an example of such a phenomenon. The eradication of the oral foci of infection enhanced the patient's response to therapy and prompted his ultimate recovery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/101. Localization of objects in the anterior areas with a single Panorex radiograph.Impacted objects in the anterior dental region can be localized in a labial-palatal direction with a single Panorex film. Clark's rule is applied to the two views of the anterior area obtained. The technique is verified by means of a dry skull with lead markers in known positions, and two clinical cases are reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/101. High-altitude illness induced by tooth root infection.High-altitude illness may occur after recent pulmonary infection, but high-altitude illness after root canal therapy has not been described previously. A 44-year-old man is presented who skied to a 3333 m high peak in the Eastern Alps one day after he had undergone root canal therapy because of a tooth root infection. After 4 hours above 3000 m severe symptoms of high-altitude illness, including pulmonary oedema, developed. His condition improved after immediate descent. The next day he presented with local and general signs of infection which were successfully treated with gingival incisions and antibiotics. In conclusion, acute tooth root infection and root canal therapy may induce high-altitude illness at an altitude just above 3000 m.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0030616742782568keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/101. Heavy metal poisoning in glass worker characterised by severe.The paper presents the clinical description of the masticatory organ and biochemical assessment of dental tissue in a patient employed in a glassworks for 20 years. During 12 years the patient has suffered baldness ("alopecia areata") and atypical extensive and non-healing cutaneous lesions. Dental examination revealed changes typical of chronic poisoning by cadmium and bismuth compounds.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
