11/22. Obliterated pulp cavities in the Sanfilippo syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis iii).Generalized obliteration of the pulp chambers and canals by irregular secondary dentin was observed in an individual with the Sanfilippo syndrome. Heretofore unreported, this dental finding may represent a manifestation of this mucopolysaccharide disorder.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pulp, dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/22. Calcific bridging of dental pulp caused by iatrogenic hypercalcemia. Report of a case.A case of renal osteodystrophy treated with high doses of vitamin d is presented. The treatment, carried out when the patient was between 3 1/4 and 6 years of age, induced hypercalcemia (up to 13.9 mg./dl.) which resulted in dentinal bridging corresponding chronologically to the part of the root developing at this age. Dentinal bridging associated with iatrogenic hypercalcemia has not been reported previously.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 19.413878129652keywords = dental pulp, pulp, dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/22. Dental complications associated with repeated orotracheal intubation in infancy: a case report.Various oral and dental problems have been attributed to orotracheal intubation in the neonatal period. A case is described of a child whose dental anomalies are ascribed to multiple orotracheal intubations for the management of a complex cardiac abnormality. Six intubations were required between the ages of 9 days and 4 years for investigation and surgery. His maxillary right primary central incisor did not erupt until 3 years of age and the maxillary left was still unerupted at 6 years and 10 months and was rotated in its crypt. At this time, the mandibular primary incisors were physiologically mobile but the maxillary right primary central incisor remained firm. Both maxillary primary central incisors were extracted and examined histologically and showed abnormal morphology, enamel hypoplasia, and disordered dentine formation and root resorption. Subsequent eruption of the left permanent central incisor revealed hypoplasia of its incisal edge. It is suggested that the delayed eruption and abnormal morphology of the primary incisors were due to pressure effects on the overlying mucosa, follicular displacement and localized trauma caused by intubation. This case highlights the importance of monitoring the developing dentition of patients with a history of orotracheal intubation, so that interceptive treatment may be instituted when appropriate.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.002130304953111keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/22. Clinical reliability of the dentine bridge formed after pulpotomy: a case report.An exposed pulp in a crown-fractured vital young tooth may be treated with either pulp capping or pulpotomy, using a calcium hydroxide dressing. calcium hydroxide stimulates dentine bridge formation, which is a good indicator of pulp vitality. In this case it is reported that, although seriously contaminated for a long period with debris from the oral environment, the dentine bridge which formed after pulpotomy was able to function as a protective pulpal barrier. The tooth responded to an electrical pulp tester within normal limits and the periapical radiographic appearance was normal at review after 7 years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1976566645516keywords = pulp (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/22. Pulpal obliteration related to long-term glucocorticosteroid medication.Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) are used in the treatment of chronic autoimmune diseases and many long-term illnesses. While these drugs may be considered essential for the patient's health, adverse reactions do occur. The incidence of adverse reactions depends upon the dose level and the duration of treatment. Three case reports of patients on long-term GCS therapy are presented. Pulpal obliteration was assessed by radiographic records. In all instances, pulpal obliteration to some degree is described; however, the rate and extent of pulpal obliteration in the mature dentition seem greater than those occurring in the immature dentition. In the cases reported, the greatest dentin deposition appeared to occur on the roof of the pulp chamber, indicating that the pattern of dentin deposition by pulp tissue in GCS-treated individuals is different from that of the normal aging process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.79914787801876keywords = pulp (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/22. Pulp obliteration: a histological study.Pulp obliteration is a very rare occurrence that is most frequently caused by trauma. A 58-yr-old female patient had a generalized pulp obliteration that involved all maxillary and mandibular teeth. One tooth was extracted due to an extensive carious lesion and it was processed by a cutting-grinding technique. It was possible to observe the complete obliteration of the pulp chamber, which was filled in part by reparative dentin and in part by a calcified tissue with a concentric layers structure with no tubular pattern. The root canals were almost completely obliterated by an amorphous calcified material.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.39957393900938keywords = pulp (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/22. Chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis associated with a cracked tooth. Report of a case.Chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis is a periapical lesion that involves reactive osteogenesis evoked by chronic inflammation of the dental pulp. In most cases, this lesion develops in the mandibular molar region in response to a low-grade infection of the pulp that results from a deep carious lesion. A case is presented in which incomplete tooth fracture was the apparent cause of this type of periapical pathosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5.0532565019177keywords = dental pulp, pulp, dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/22. Repair of untreated root fracture: a case report.A case is presented in which an untreated root fracture in a maxillary central incisor of an adult male was found radiographically 10 years after injury. The tooth was removed and the area of the root corresponding to the fracture line was examined by SEM while the remaining tooth was processed for decalcified sections. Calcification of the coronal pulp associated with extensive tissue atrophy and normal pulp tissue apically was observed. Two barriers composed of dentinal and cemental hard tissue were present apically in the coronal fragment and in the fracture line.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.39957393900938keywords = pulp (Clic here for more details about this article) |
19/22. acro-osteolysis (Hajdu-Cheney) syndrome: report of a case with abnormal tooth structure.The acro-osteolysis (Hajdu-Cheney) syndrome is a rare disorder of bone metabolism characterized by progressive dissolution of a number of bones. Although previous reports have detailed several dental abnormalities associated with this syndrome, this is the first report describing structural changes in the dentin and cementum of teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0010651524765555keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
20/22. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor with extensive formation of tubular dentin.Although the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is categorized as an odontogenic epithelial tumor with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, AOT with induction of true tubular dentin with or without concomitant formation of enamel is exceedingly rare. This paper reports a case of AOT showing evidence of extensive induction of tubular dentin, but without concomitant formation of enamel. The patient was a 20-year-old female with a rather well-circumscribed intraosseous lesion of the maxillary incisor-premolar area without an embedded tooth. Histologically, extensive induction of a dysplastic form of tubular dentin with globular calcification was evident, in addition to the characteristic histological features of AOT. The present case lends support to the categorization of AOT as an odontogenic tumor consisting of a disorderly mixture of odontogenic epithelium and odontogenic ectomesenchyme with or without dental hard tissue formation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0010651524765555keywords = dental (Clic here for more details about this article) |
