dentinogenesis imperfecta (di) is a hereditary dentin defect caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in dentin sialophosphoprotein gene. defective dentin development results in discolored teeth that are prone to wear and fracture. early diagnosis and proper treatment are necessary to achieve better functional and esthetic results and minimize nutritional deficiencies and psychosocial distress....

Vertical fractures in teeth can present difficulties in diagnosis. There are, however, many specific clinical and radiographical signs which, when present, can alert clinicians to the existence of a fracture. In this review, the diagnosis of vertical root fractures is discussed in detail, and examples are presented of clinical and radiographic signs associated with these fractured teeth. Treatm...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) has been defined as a group of hereditary enamel defects. It can be characterized by enamel hypoplasia, hypomaturation, or hypocalcification of the teeth. AI may be associated with some other dental and skeletal developmental defects. Restoration for patients with this condition should be oriented toward the functional and esthetic rehabilitation. This clinical repo...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence , gender difference , arch , morphology and position within the arch of supernumerary molar (SM) teeth in a referred Italian Caucasian population. STUDY DESIGN Records of 25,186 young patients were evaluated. Only data related to supernumerary teeth in the posterior region of the jaws were analyzed. The diagnosis of hyperdontia was formulated during th...

Fusion and gemination are not entirely uncommon dental anomalies that may also be named ‘double teeth’. This is due to their unusual presentation in a twin-like fashion. Teeth with these irregularities appear clinically similar, presenting as large bulbous shape anatomy fissure patterns. The exact aetiology of uncertain, but many potential local or systemic disturbances during the morphodiffere...

Amalgam has been used in the restoration of structurally compromised posterior teeth for many years. When placing large amalgam restorations, replacement of weak cusps with restorative material is recommended to prevent tooth fracture. This recommendation can be modified with new guidelines using modern adhesive techniques. Semidirect and indirect inlay/onlay composite restorations have progres...

This clinical report describes the treatment plan for a young patient affected by amelogenesis imperfecta with anterior open bite. The objectives of the treatment were to eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics and restoring masticatory function. Treatment included resin composite laminate veneers on maxillary anterior teeth and stainless steel crowns for posterior teeth.

The lesions are invariably asymptomatic and are discovered on routine radiographic examinations; however, they may be associated with pathologic changes in adjacent teeth and structures such as-malformation, impaction, delayed eruption, ...

A survey was carried out to determine the reasons for extractions of teeth in the middle (central) region of Jordan. Data was obtained from 80 dentists practicing general dentistry over a period of 2 weeks of their practice. The results revealed that out of the 1030 teeth extracted, 39.7% were removed due to extensive caries, 20.9% due to periodontal diseases, 13.4% at the patient's request, 10...
