1/34. Premature dental eruption: report of case.This case report reviews the variability of dental eruption and the possible sequelae. Dental eruption of the permanent teeth in cleft palate children may be variable, with delayed eruption the most common phenomenon. A case of premature dental eruption of a maxillary left first premolar is demonstrated, however, in a five-year-old male. This localized premature dental eruption anomaly was attributed to early extraction of the primary dentition, due to caries.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/34. Treatment of a Class I malocclusion with a carious mandibular incisor and no Bolton discrepancy.Occasionally orthodontists must plan treatment for a patient with extensive caries or a traumatic injury to one mandibular incisor. If the patient has a Bolton discrepancy, one treatment option could involve extraction of the affected mandibular incisor. However, if the patient does not have a Bolton discrepancy and a mandibular incisor is extracted, the treatment becomes more complicated. This case report will present and discuss the ramifications of extracting one mandibular incisor in a patient without an anterior tooth-size discrepancy. The CDABO Student Case Selection Committee chose this case for publication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/34. Description of a clinical technique for tooth extraction in the cleft lip and palate area.cleft lip and palate are relatively common congenital malformations, which may require specialist paedodontic treatment. In this article, the case of a 9-year-old boy with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate is presented. He attended the Hospital for rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies (HRAC) for routine examination, during which the presence of pre-canine supernumeraries bilaterally in the cleft area was seen. The extraction of these dental elements was justified by extensive carious lesions and because they represented a potential problem during secondary palatoplasty. The precautions needed in tooth extraction in patients with cleft lip and palate are described, together with illustrations of the clinical procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/34. Extraction as a treatment alternative follows repeated trauma in a severely handicapped patient.Handicapped patients with protruding maxillary incisors are prone to repeated dental trauma. A 13-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, severe mental retardation and seizure disorder was referred to our department for restoring the traumatized anterior teeth. Despite drug combination, the frequency of seizure attack was around 10 times a month. The oral examination showed multiple caries, gingival hyperplasia, class II malocclusion with 14 mm overjet and deep overbite. During the first 3 years of a 7-year follow-up period, six episodes of anterior tooth trauma due to seizure attack occurred. The trauma-related treatment performed included endodontic therapy, multiple composite restorations, apical repositional flap, and finally extraction of all four upper incisors with fabrication of a semi-fixed band-retained denture. The denture restored normal overbite and overjet with improved esthetics. For 4 years following the fabrication of denture, no trauma occurred to the anterior teeth in later seizure attacks. Considering inadequate control of seizure disorder, little ability of the patient to receive comprehensive orthodontic treatment, poor prognosis of restorations, and possible future injuries, the removal of non-functional, nonesthetic, trauma-susceptible incisor teeth can be justified as an alternative to tooth preservation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/34. 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 = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/34. Necessity for and control of dental treatment in hiv infected children. Inter-professional relationship between dentist and paediatrician.hiv infected children frequently suffer from buccal-dental lesions needing dental treatment. This treatment should improve their systemic affection, localised pathology, psychological and affective state and their general quality of life. Hardly any of these children are ever treated; sometimes because of lack of family motivation (the most frequent cause) and others because of the lack of a Paediatric Dental Unit in the hospitals they attend. For this reason we present here two cases of hiv infected children, with hiv infected mothers, who, thanks to the relationship between the Paediatric and Dental Units of the hospital, have had access to dental treatment for multiple caries and candidiasis. An anatopathological diagnosis of gingival inflammation, which was also infected by candida, was also carried out. The treatment included extraction of teeth, pulpotomy, pulpectomy and the fitting of prostheses. It should be made clear that a good inter-professional relationship is needed and it must also be taken into account the great difficulty that is encountered when trying to make this group of patients understand the need for, and benefits of, dental treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/34. Space-regaining treatment for a submerged primary molar: a case report.The aetiology of submerged primary molars is not known and optimal treatment has still not been established. If submerged primary teeth are left untreated, the occlusal consequences are space-loss due to tipping of adjacent teeth and/or overeruption of the opposing teeth. Normally, treatment consists of extraction of the deciduous teeth or observation for normal exfoliation. Here we report a case where the submerged primary molar was extracted surgically after space-loss had been regained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/34. The pulpectomy in primary teeth.BACKGROUND: The pulpectomy is an underutilized treatment modality for severely infected primary teeth. CASE DESCRIPTION: The author presents two pulpectomy cases that were filled with Vitapex. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Vitapex is an excellent filling material for primary tooth pulpectomies. Its clinical characteristics and ease of use may make the pulpectomy procedure a more-attractive alternative to extraction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/34. Etiopathogenic analysis of the caries on three patients with noonan syndrome.INTRODUCTION: noonan syndrome is a genetic disease frequently characterized by short height, winged neck and a thoracic defect, among other alterations. However, there are no reports that mention oral health complications. In this article three children are presented with this syndrome in which multiple caries are observed, determining in each case which factors increase their susceptibility to caries. CLINICAL CASES: 1. A 4 year old girl who suffered neonatal sepsis, pyelocalyceal ecstasia, congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, cardiopathy, hypoacusia and psychomotor delay. Presented multiple cavitated caries, requiring the extraction of the 4 incisors. 2. A 4-year-old boy afflicted with myocardiopathy pyelocalyceal ecstasia and psychomotor delay. Exhibited multiple cavitated caries of atypical locations. 4 incisors were extracted and replaced with preformed crowns. 3. A 9-year-old boy affected with plagiocephaly, laryngomalasia, hiatal hernia, urinary infections and psycho-motor delay. Presented multiple profound and extensive caries, which needed pulp treatment and preformed crown placement. DISCUSSION: The caries in all three patients were similar and of rapid progression. The most relevant factors were: reflux and vomiting of 2 of the patients and continuous and prolonged ingestion of fruit juices of the other. In all three of them there was abnormal exposure to both intrinsic and extrinsic acids in the oral cavity, so as muscular hypotony and psychomotor deficiency that hindered the autoclisis and oral hygiene. It is inferred that in all 3 cases the initial pathology was a description of demineralization of chemical origin concordant to dental erosion, upon which an immediate colonization of microorganisms arose, accelerating tissue destruction. It is concluded that the systemic and familial conditions of children with noonan syndrome favor erosion and the establishment of caries that are potentially harmful foci, of which adequate and preventive measures should be implemented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/34. Intraoral vascular malformation and airway management: a case report and review of the literature.A patient with a large airway venous malformation underwent anesthesia for a tooth extraction. The procedure was uneventful until extubation, immediately after which complete airway obstruction resulted. After unsuccessful attempts to relieve the problem, the patient's trachea was reintubated. laryngoscopy showed that the venous malformation in the airway had enlarged and was responsible for the airway obstruction. Another attempt at extubation after corrective maneuvers was again unsuccessful. A tracheostomy was required, which was eventually removed after a complete recovery. Anesthesiologists must be concerned with any airway vascular abnormality. Most abnormalities involving the airway are either hemangiomas or venous malformations. The anesthesiologist must diagnose the problem correctly because even minor manipulation of a venous malformation may result in exsanguination, or the malformation may become engorged and compromise the airway.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
