Regional odontodysplasia of the deciduous and permanent teeth associated with eruption disorders: A case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is an unusual, non-hereditary anomaly of the dental hard tissues with characteristic clinical, radiographic and histological findings. Clinically, RO affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Radiographically, there is a lack of contrast between the enamel dentin, both of which are less radiopaque than unaffected counterparts. Additionally, enamel and dentin layers are thin, giving the teeth a "ghost-like" appearance. Histologically, areas of hypocalcified enamel are visible and enamel prisms appear irregular in direction. Coronal dentin is fibrous, consisting of clefts and a reduced number of dentinal tubules; radicular dentin is generally more normal in structure and calcification. The RO etiology is uncertain; numerous factors have been suggested and considered as local trauma, irradiation, hypophosphatasia, hypocalcemia, hyperpyrexia. The treatment of RO has given rise to controversy. These cases require a continuous and multidisciplinary approach. Most clinicians advocate extracting the affected teeth as soon as possible and inserting a prosthetic replacement. Other clinicians prefer restorative procedures, if possible, to protect the affected erupted teeth. A case of RO in an 8 year-old male whose chief complaint was the absence of eruption of permanent teeth is presented. Clinical, radiographic and histological findings are described.

Mandibular Talon Cusp Associated With Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization and Delayed Tooth Eruption
Talon cusp is an odontogenic anomaly in anterior teeth, caused by hyperactivity of enamel in morphodifferentiation stage. Talon cusp is an additional cusp with several types based on its extension and shape. It has enamel, dentin, and sometimes pulp tissue. Moreover, it can cause clinical problems such as poor aesthetic, dental caries, attrition, occlusal interferences, and periodontal di...
متن کاملConservative management of regional odontodysplasia: case report.
Regional odontodysplasia is an uncommon developmental anomaly affecting a localized area of the dentition. The affected teeth are often grossly malformed and develop abscess soon after eruption. Although extractions are often required, in some milder cases the teeth may be retained for a long period. The treatment plan should be based on the degree of involvement as well as functional and esthe...
متن کاملAn alternative restorative method for regional odontodysplasia: case report.
A 5-year-old Caucasian male presented with early loss of multiple deciduous teeth. All the characteristics were consistent with the diagnosis of regional odontodysplasia (ROD). Significant initial findings included premature loss of multiple primary mandibular teeth and some malformed permanent teeth. The affected teeth showed hypoplastic enamel and dentin, short roots, and wide pulp chambers, ...
متن کاملBenign Cementoblastoma Involving Deciduous and Permanent Mandibular Molars: A Case Report
Cementoblastomas are rare benign odontogenic tumors. Diagnosis of these lesions must be made by an association of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings. Cementoblastomas rarely occur in both primary and permanent dentitions. We describe the sixth case of cementoblastoma in the literature with the involvement of both deciduous and permanent teeth. The aim of this case report is ...
متن کاملAn Attached Odontoma to the Roots of a Mandibular Molar Tooth: A Case Report
Introduction: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. These lesions are usually considered a hamartoma than a neoplasm. Unlike normal tooth morphology, tissue arrangement is irregular in these lesions. Odontoma has self-limiting and slow growth, and if left untreated, its size will not increase over time. Most of these lesions are clinically asymptomatic and are detected on routine ra...
