1/467. A rare case of hereditary multiple impacted normal and supernumerary teeth. An eight-year-old girl residing in Bangalore presented with a complaint of retained primary maxillary and mandibular incisors. Radiographic examination of the case revealed multiple impacted permanent succedaneous teeth with deficient resorption of primary teeth and multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. family history revealed that the mother also exhibited multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. Based on the clinical presentation, radiographic examination and histopathological studies, this paper discusses the differential diagnosis and management of such a case. ( info) |
2/467. Treatment of an impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisor. Impacted incisor With Dilaceration refers to a dental deformity characterized by an angulation between crown and root causing noneruption of the incisor. Surgical extraction used to be the first choice in treating the severely dilacerated incisor. In this article, a horizontally impacted and dilacerated maxillary central incisor was diagnosed radiographically. By combining two stages of the crown exposure surgery with light force orthodontic traction, the impacted dilacerated incisor was successfully moved into proper position. However, long-term monitoring of the stability and periodontal health is critical after orthodontic traction. ( info) |
| A female patient with hypocalcification type amelogenesis imperfecta in permanent dentition in association with heavily worn primary teeth, gingival hyperplasia, hypodontia and impacted teeth is presented. ( info) |
4/467. Inverted impaction of a mesiodens: a case report. Dental, radiological, dermatoglyphic and genetic findings of a patient showing inverted impaction of a mesiodens are presented. It is probable that the inversion of the mesiodens was caused by contact of the incisal edge of the crown of the mesiodens by the apex of the root of the erupting right maxillary central incisor tooth.

5/467. Delayed eruption of maxillary primary cuspid associated with compound odontoma. Impaction of primary teeth is very rare especially in the maxillary anterior teeth. A four-year-old male child with the complaint of delayed eruption of right maxillary primary cuspid due to the presence of odontoma is presented. ( info) |
6/467. Taurodontism in association with supernumerary teeth. The dental, radiological, genetic and dermatoglyphic findings of an additional patient with taurodontism in association with supernumerary teeth were presented and the findings of the patient were compared with those in the literature.

7/467. Marsupialization of a cyst lesion to allow tooth eruption: a case report. Marsupialization of a dentigerous cyst allowed eruption of a tooth related to the cyst cavity. ( info) |
8/467. Unerupted second primary mandibular molar positioned inferior to the second premolar: case report. This report is a clinical case of a 7-year-old child who presented right impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth was positioned inferior to the second premolar successor and a supernumerary tooth superior to the second premolar. Clinical examination did not reveal systemic diseases ot trauma in the facial region. Treatment consisted of the extraction of the impacted second primary molar and the supernumerary tooth. Periodic examination was indicated for follow-up. ( info) |
9/467. Localized deficient root development associated with taurodontism: case report. Dentinal dysplasia type I (DDI) is a rare disturbance in dentin formation. This case report illustrates different radiographic features from other reported DDI cases in that only one quadrant (lower right posterior teeth) has the characteristic of DDI and both right and left upper molars exhibit taurodontism. This finding might be a variation of DDI. However, it is possible that this type of developmental defect could occur because of regionalized abnormalities in cellular function and proliferation as occurs in regional odontodysplasia.

10/467. Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. Report of two oral surgical cases using a new microfibrillar collagen preparation and EACA for hemostasis. Glanzmann's thromboasthenia is a rare congenital platelet disorder characterized by a prolonged bleeding time, a qualitative platelet defect, and severe hemorrhagic episodes. patients with this disorder have been managed by administration of blood and blood components (most recently, platelet-rich plasma and platelet concentrates) to control hemorrhage resulting from trauma or surgical procedures. The two case reports presented here illustrate the use of a local hemostatic agent (microfibrillar bovine collagen, Avitene) and a systemic fibrinolytic inhibitor (epsilon aminocaproic acid, Amicar) to control postoperative hemorrhage secondary to elective extraction of teeth. The clinical results demonstrate excellent postoperative hemostasis and support recent in vitro observation of platelet adherence to the collagen preparation. This provides an alternate therapeutic modality in the management of patients with Glanzmann's disease and possibly other disorders of platelet function. ( info) |
