1/22. 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) |
2/22. Second premolar serial extraction.serial extraction of mandibular second premolars should be considered if they are impacted or in cases with moderate arch length deficiency combined with an absence of dentofacial protrusion. The favorable dental changes associated with this approach greatly minimize future orthodontic treatment complexity and time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/22. nasolacrimal duct obstruction secondary to ectopic teeth.OBJECTIVE: To describe two patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) caused by ectopic eruption of teeth. The literature concerning nasal and other unusual ectopic sites of tooth eruption is reviewed. DESIGN: Two interventional case reports and literature review. PARTICIPANTS: A 3-year-old girl with epiphora and recurrent dacryocystitis of the right eye. Previous medical and surgical management was unsuccessful. A 32-year-old female with a long history of right eye discomfort and epiphora. Previous examinations and workup were negative. INTERVENTION: A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the orbits and sinuses was performed in both patients. The ectopic teeth were surgically removed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nasolacrimal system function and response to treatment at the last follow-up were recorded. RESULTS: In the first patient, CT imaging disclosed two teeth within the right inferior meatus compressing the nasolacrimal duct. In the second patient, CT revealed a large dental structure in the maxillary sinus compressing the nasolacrimal duct. Endoscopic tooth extraction and nasolacrimal duct probing in the first patient and surgical removal of the dental structure in the second patient effected complete resolution of symptoms. Both patients were symptom free at last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: These cases suggest that ectopic eruption of teeth should be added to the differential diagnosis of NLDO. Surgical removal of the ectopic teeth compressing the nasolacrimal duct results in resolution of the lacrimal drainage obstruction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/22. Garre's osteomyelitis of an unusual origin in a 8-year-old child. A case report.Garre's osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis that primarily affects children and adolescents. Although the disease is well described in the dental literature and is usually associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from caries, a number of other causative factors have been occasionally reported, such as a dental extraction or a mild periodontitis. There have also been cases of unknown aetiology. This paper describes a case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an 8-year-old child, in whom the condition arose following a local periodontal infection in an ectopically erupting first permanent molar that was in infraocclusion. The lesion remained unresolved for a period of over 6 months as a result of misdiagnosis, following a number of unsuccessful treatment attempts. Identification of the true cause and treatment through periodontal surgery resulted in lesion resolution and resolved the diagnostic problem. dentists should be aware that the periodontium may be a potential source of infection for Garre's osteomyelitis in children, particularly in the presence of ectopically erupting posterior teeth. In such cases, periodontal treatment should be sufficient to treat the disease and extraction of the tooth involved may not be necessary.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/22. An orthodontic case of transposition of the upper right canine and first premolar.Tooth transposition is a rare and severe positional anomaly that may create many orthodontic problems from both esthetic and functional points of view. In this report, we describe a case of the orthodontic management of a transposition of the upper canine and premolar with congenital absence of the upper lateral incisor. The patient was treated with a multibracket appliance and the extraction of three premolars, and treatment was completed without a need for any prosthetic replacement.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/22. Bilateral distal ectopic eruption of the permanent mandibular central incisors: a case report.A 7-year-old female patient presented with a rare case of bilateral distal ectopic eruption of the mandibular permanent central incisors. Treatment instituted was extraction of the retained primary teeth and placement of a fixed appliance for alignment and repositioning of the mandibular permanent incisors.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/22. Treatment of a patient with an impacted transmigrant mandibular canine and a palatally impacted maxillary canine.Very few people have seen transmigrant mandibular canines and little has been presented in the literature about this rare phenomenon. In this case report, identification techniques and treatment options are presented along with the treatment results of a patient diagnosed with a transmigrant mandibular canine. This rare condition usually requires extraction of the involved tooth because orthodontic forces are seldom successful at erupting these teeth into their proper location. The treatment protocol for this patient involved a combination of orthodontic procedures, surgical extractions, gingivectomy and frenectomy, and implant replacement of the impacted transmigrant tooth. Through a collaborative effort of a team made up of an orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist, and oral surgeon, these techniques were used to achieve an excellent esthetic and functional outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/22. An atypical Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. Focus on dental care and differential diagnosis.The Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (HSS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by dyscephaly, birdlike facies, hypoplastic mandible, congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, hypotrichosis, skin atrophy, proportionate short stature, and dental anomalies. A case of a 29-year-old man with atypical HSS with neither cataracts, hair and skin alterations, nor short stature is reported, with special consideration to oral findings and dental management. Dental extractions, scaling, restorations, and endodontics were performed under local anesthesia. Later, orthodontic rehabilitation with fixed brackets was carried out. Finally, a removable partial denture for the maxillary arch was designed using transparent acrylic, and this also served as a retention splint. Young patients with HSS and other similar syndromes must be involved in personalized oral health prevention programs as early as possible. Despite numerous systemic anomalies, some of these patients may undergo conventional dental procedures under local anesthesia in the dental office.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/22. Considerations in the management of transposed teeth.AIM: To review the management of transposed teeth, and to illustrate the treatment options with four case reports. methods: The aetiology and management of transposed teeth are reviewed. Three management options are discussed: correcting the order of transposed teeth, maintaining the order of transposed teeth, and extraction of one of the transposed teeth. methods of camouflaging transposed teeth are described in detail. The treatment options are illustrated with case reports.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
