1/14. 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.

2/14. Delayed tooth eruption associated with an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma.

    Delayed eruption of a single primary tooth is an uncommon event. Excluding a previous traumatic insult, the presence of a pericoronal odontogenic cyst or neoplasm is the primary cause for this abnormality. This case report describes the clinical and radiographic features of an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in a young child, who presented with delayed eruption of the primary mandibular canine and prominent buccal expansion. A differential diagnosis for mixed, radiolucent and radiopaque lesions of the jaws will be discussed.

3/14. Craniofacial and dental manifestations of proteus syndrome: a case report.

    The proteus syndrome is a rare congenital hamartomatous condition that is characterized by a wide range of malformations, sometimes involving the face. Common manifestations include partial gigantism, congenital lipomas, and plantar hyperplasia. In this report we describe the craniofacial clinicopathological development in a girl with proteus syndrome from age 6 to 20 years. The patient had pronounced hemifacial hypertrophy, exostoses in the left parietal region, and enlargement of the inferior alveolar nerve and mandibular canal in the affected region. The dental development of the affected left mandible and maxilla was characterized by extremely premature development and eruption of the primary and permanent teeth and by pronounced idiopathic root resorptions. The multidisciplinary management of the patient and the treatment outcome is reported. A review of the Proteus patients in the literature who exhibited manifestation in the craniofacial region is presented.

4/14. Metastatic infiltration of the dental pulp by medulloblastoma.

    medulloblastoma is an infratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumour. It is the most commonly occurring brain tumour of childhood, accounting for 15-20% of all paediatric tumours. Extracranial metastasis is rare, but may involve the skeleton. jaw lesions, however, have never been described. A case is reported of metastases of a medulloblastoma to the jaw including the dental pulp.

5/14. Benign cementoblastoma: a clinical case of conservative surgical treatment of the involved tooth.

    The benign cementoblastoma (BC) or ''true'' cementoma is a rare benign neoplasm arising from the odontogenic ectomesenchyme and representing about 1% to 6.2% of all odontogenic tumors. The BC more frequently affects young males in an age range of 20-30 years, occurring in the mandible about 3 times more than in the maxilla, and it is always physically attached to the tooth roots. This tumor is often asymptomatic until it produces pain, expansion or swelling of the jaw segment or compression of the inferior alveolar nerve. early diagnosis is essential to save the tooth by enucleating the tumor, filling the root canals and apicectomy or curettage of the affected roots. A case of BC embedding the mandibular first right molar and resorbing the vestibular cortical bone, in a 48 year-old male, is reported. The radiographic examination showed a well-defined mixed-density unilocular mass, confluent with both the tooth roots of the mandibular first molar and surrounded by a radiolucent rim. A combined endodontic-surgical treatment was performed with the aim to remove the tumor while saving the tooth. Histological findings, differential diagnosis and surgical treatment of the tumor are discussed and compared with similar cases in the literature.

6/14. Pyle's disease: an incidental finding in a routine dental patient.

    Pyle's disease (PD) or metaphyseal dysplasia is an extremely rare genetic disorder, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. The peculiarity of the disease is that the striking radiographic manifestations contrast with the relatively normal clinical features. The oral findings and radiographic features of the disease are not well documented. The present paper describes the radiographic features of Pyle's disease in a 17-year-old girl and draws attention to the findings in the jaw bones.

7/14. Parry-Romberg syndrome: a report of the dental findings in a child followed up for 9 years.

    INTRODUCTION: The incidence of Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is very rare. CASE REPORT: A case report is presented highlighting the main dental aspects that include delayed eruption, root resorption, dilacerations, and a reduction in the height and width of the ramus and body of the mandible on the affected side.

8/14. Morphological and clinical considerations of first and second permanent molar eruption disorders.

    tooth eruption is a complex biological process which starts from the site of development in the jaw bone until the teeth reach their final functional position in the chewing plane. Various factors can disturb this process. Besides mechanical obstacles on the eruption path, a pathological position or axial orientation of the tooth germ, morphological aberrations of the tooth or pathological alterations of the periodontium, primary disorders of the eruption mechanism may lead to complete or partial retention of the tooth in the jaw bone. These morphological features bear upon the prognosis of orthodontic correction which is dependent upon the underlying cause. First and second molars are rarely affected by eruption disorders, with a prevalence of 0.01 to 0.08 per cent, however, marked consequences for function such as posterior open bite or elongation of the antagonists may result. Following an overview of pathogenetic factors of tooth eruption disorders, selected cases of impacted first and second permanent molars are presented with respect to their morphological causes.

9/14. Gardner's syndrome: a case report.

    Gardner's syndrome, with characteristic dental abnormalities and osteomas involving the jaws, is described in an adolescent male. The sinister aspect of the syndrome relates to the malignant potential of intestinal polyps and therefore the need for early diagnosis and prophylactic colectomy. The dentist may be the first health professional to have an opportunity to make an early diagnosis and referral of a patient with Gardner's syndrome, and should therefore be aware of the features of the syndrome that affect the teeth and jaws.

10/14. Multiple radiopaque masses in the jaws.

    In this report, the less common oral findings occurring in Gardner's syndrome are described, which occurred concurrently with colorectal polyposis. In addition, what clinically appeared as small intestinal polyps, microscopically represented nodular lymphoid hyperplasia, as reported in the literature. review of the literature showed the oral findings reported here are not common and that enzyme assays can help detect polyps at an early stage of this complex syndrome.
