The mixed dentition pantomogram is routinely used in paediatric patients. This paper discusses the value of the pantomogram for early identification of problems in dental development during the mixed dentition stage. Aspects regarding dental maturity, leeway space, the sequence of eruption of the permanent teeth, anomalies and the development of the canines will be reviewed.

A case of a male patient presenting with unusual dental morphology, anterior supernumerary teeth, and agenesis of premolars associated with congenital cataracts, microphthalmia and anteverted pinna is described. Although 3 similar cases are in the medical literature, this is the first case in which the dental features are described in detail. Dental anomalies associated with many congenital and...

Background: The prevalence of dental anomalies in children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) has been said to be higher than in the normal children; however, such findings have not been expressed for different racial groups. Aim: To determine the prevalence of anomalies in children with CLP and to ascertain if there were any differences between the prevalence figures for CLP and non-CLP children....

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental radiographic characteristics as described in 40 records of patients with panoramic radiography. Material and Methods: The patients were in the range of 6-17 years old, and were divided into two groups (20 subjects who were compatible with the normality standard and 20 individuals diagnosed with the FXS), which were matched for ge...

Although ring chromosomes are observed in ahnost all autosomal groups in man, they are rare. We describe a male patient exldbiting cd du chat syndrome in which cytogenetic studies demonstrate the presonse of a ring chromosome 5. Deletion o£ the ring chromosome 5 is found between the p15 and q35 bands. Dental, medical and cytogenetic findings are compared to other ring chromosome 5 cases descMbe...

Chemoradiation therapy used on pediatric oncology patients often causes dental developmental anomalies that affect future dental care. Defects noted include tooth and root agenesis, root thinning and shortening, and localized enamel defects. Histologically, these defects appear as osteoid-like niches in the developing dentin which alter the overlying enamel. Odontogenic cell sensitivity is depe...

the present report aimed to study an uncommon case of a pair of twins that presented a discordant dental phenotype. family investigation, clinical, radiographic examination and molecular analysis were performed in both girls. molecular analysis confirmed the monozygosity by deoxyribonucleic acid chip technology. one twin presented tooth agenesis in left upper lateral incisor and peg-shaped on t...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of maxillary lateral incisor (MLI) agenesis and associated dental anomalies as well as skeletal patterns in an orthodontic population, and then to compare it with the prevalence of these anomalies in the general population. STUDY DESIGN The material of the present study included the records of the 3872 orthodontic patients. Th...
