چکیده
PURPOSE Bisphosphonates are commonly used drugs in pediatric patients in the treatment of osteoporotic diseases and various types of cancers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of pamidronate administration on mandibular growth and tooth eruption in new born rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty Sprague Dawley rats were included in the study and divided into four groups as; 14th day pamidronate group, 30th day pamidronate group, 14th day control group and 30th day control group. Pamidronate groups were daily injected with 1.25 µg/g pamidronate disodium subcutaneously whereas control groups were injected with sterile saline. Eruption levels of lower incisor and molar teeth were assessed macroscopically. Mandibular growth was assessed by measuring reference points in cone beam tomography. Histological and histomorphometric examinations were performed under light microscope to evaluate tooth morphology and number of osteoclasts. RESULTS Retardation in mandibular growth, decrease in number of osteoclasts, delay in tooth eruption, degeneration in both tooth morphology and structure were observed in the pamidronate groups compared to control groups. CONCLUSION Pamidronate administration during growth and development stage may adversely affect tooth eruption and mandibular growth in new born rats.

Introdouction:Tooth eruption is recognized as an important aspect of human growth and development. It can be influenced by a number of factors, and it may reflect the general development of a child’s body. The purpose of this study was to determine the age at which the first primary tooth erupted and its relationship with height, weight and head circumference in 3-15-month children in the...
متن کاملMandibular 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...

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...

During the course of our studies on the nerve growth-promoting protein of the submaxillary gland of the mouse (1,2). it was noted that the daily injection of partially purified extracts of the salivary gland into new-born mice resulted in a number of gross anatomical changes in addition to the previously reported effects on the nerve cells. These were (a) precocious opening of the eyelids (as e...
