1/29. Combined orthodontic and restorative care of early childhood caries and anterior crossbite: a case report.This case report describes management of a 3-year-old child with early childhood caries and anterior crossbite. Restorative care was postponed until after crossbite correction to eliminate occlusal interferences associated with premature contact and a functional shift of the mandible. Crossbite correction was performed with a fixed anterior bite plane appliance, and comprehensive restorative care was performed under general anesthesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/29. 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 = 0.0052640947747393keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/29. A case report: arresting dental caries.PURPOSE: To arrest dental caries in the dentin in a patient that had been refractory to other attempts at caries control. methods: Repeated applications of fluoride varnish (5%, Duraflor, Pharmascience laboratories, Montreal) in the clinic every three months along with two daily two-minute rinses with sodium fluoride at home. RESULTS: Results over five years are presented. None of the lesions identified five years earlier had been restored. The teeth were monitored with frequent bitewing radiographs and clinical exams; the interproximal decay appears inactive clinically. CONCLUSION: This present case report shows that fluoride varnish may be a good addition to preventive therapy for arresting caries in adult patients in general practice. Surgical intervention may be avoided in patients whose risk has shifted to a lower level.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0052640947747393keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/29. Comprehensive treatment concept in a young adult patient with severe periodontal disease: a case report.This case report describes the comprehensive treatment of generalized, advanced periodontal disease in a young patient. In view of the necessary reconstruction, the extensive destruction of the periodontal tissues required a systematic approach to determine the possibilities and the expectations of the patient. The subsequent oral rehabilitation was accomplished with fixed prosthodontics. In the mandible, strategically important anchor teeth were replaced with implants, allowing smaller units to be inserted. The long-term treatment result, however, can only be ensured with the full cooperation of the patient and consistent periodontal maintenance care.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/29. Type 2 diabetes complicated by multiple pyomyositis.A 40-year-old man was hospitalized due to fever, muscular swelling and pain. He had poorly controlled diabetes with many dental caries and repeated periodontitis. CT revealed multiple intramuscular abscesses; administration of antibiotics and pus drainage were performed. Intraoral infection was suspected as the route of infection of pyomyositis, and a total of six teeth was extracted. In the clinical treatment of diabetic patients, it is important to instruct patients to routinely check for the presence of traumatic injuries of the lower extremities, and to have routine check-ups and dental care to check for dental caries or periodontitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0052640947747393keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/29. Cariostatic and ultraconservative sealed restorations: six-year results.The objective of this clinical study was to determine the ability of an ultraconservative, sealed composite resin restoration, without a traditional cavity preparation and without the removal of the carious lesion, to arrest Class I caries. tooth preparation was limited to placing a bevel in the enamel. These restorations were compared, over 6 years, with (1) ultraconservative, localized, sealed amalgam restorations with no extension for prevention and (2) traditional, unsealed amalgam restorations with the usual extension for prevention outline form. Caries was arrested by the ultraconservative, sealed composite resin restorations for 6 years. Complete sealant retention on the sealed amalgam restorations was somewhat lower than that on the sealed composite resin restorations; conversely, partial sealant retention was higher for the sealed amalgam group. The marginal integrity of the sealed amalgam restorations was significantly superior to that of the unsealed amalgam restorations. The sealant also protected Class I posterior composite resin restorations against wear.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0052640947747393keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/29. melkersson-rosenthal syndrome caused by saprodontia: a case report.A 24-year-old female patient with melkersson-rosenthal syndrome (MRS) in association with saprodontia is reported. She presented with lower labial swelling and left facial edema. Histological examination of the involved oral mucosa showed a noncaseating epithelioid granuloma. Results from the laboratory and imaging examinations were normal or negative. Her orofacial swelling disappeared after treatment of the saprodontia of the left first molar.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0052640947747393keywords = lower (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/29. Implant treatment of macroglossia and edentulous mandible following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer: a case report.radiotherapy for the nasopharyngeal cancer patient with poor oral care may lead to severe deterioration of the dentition and may require multiple extractions. Although the use of an implant-retained overdenture can successfully restore the function and esthetics of edentulous patients, its use can be complicated by the tissue changes subsequent to head and neck irradiation. The difficulties in implant treatment planning for an edentulous patient with macroglossia and soft tissue changes following radiotherapy are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/29. The dentofacial features of Sanjad-Sakati syndrome: a case report.Sanjad-Sakati syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder that was first reported by Sanjad et al. in 1988. It is characterized by congenital hypoparathyroidism, severe growth failure and dysmorphic features. The clinical features include deep set eyes, microcephaly, thin lips, depressed nasal bridge with beaked nose, external ear anomalies and learning difficulties. This report presents the case of a 4-year-old patient who was referred to our dental clinic because of pain in her mouth and poor dental health. Oral findings included micrognathic mandible and maxilla, microdontia, enamel hypoplasia as well as severely decayed teeth. Treatment was carried out under general anaesthesia to extract the most severely affected teeth and restore those which could be conserved. It was concluded that these patients have special dental needs; early diagnosis of the affected children is therefore important in order to commence preventive dental therapy and carry out appropriate dental treatment at the optimum time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/29. Removable prostheses for preschool children: report of two cases.Dental prostheses are frequently used to avoid psychologic, speech, or swallowing problems in preschool children with considerable tooth loss. Two cases of preschool children are presented, involving multiple loss of primary teeth. The purpose of this study was to promote the correct development of the maxilla and mandible by using removable dental prostheses and to guide the eruption of the permanent molars. Removable acrylic prostheses were provided for two children, with a special metallic s-shaped handle (ansa), which guided the eruption of the first permanent molars. These prostheses were modified as the children grew. By replacing missing teeth, several oral functions were re-established, development of the maxilla and mandible was promoted, and each child could develop socially from a psychologic point of view. The use of removable dental prostheses in preschool-aged children presenting with considerable tooth loss can be a viable and successful treatment option.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = mandible (Clic here for more details about this article) |
