Amelogenesis imperfecta represents a broad spectrum of genetic diseases affecting enamel formation in both deciduous and permanent dentition. This paper describes different phenotypes of amelogenesis imperfecta in deciduous, mixed and permanent dentition and treatment options, including a novel treatment possibility for extracted anterior deciduous teeth. The results showed that diagnosis and t...

The objective of this study was to create a three-dimensional mathematical model of a human masticatory system, including the mandible, the dentition and the temporomandibular joints. Object of research was one 20 year old dead man. The research was approved by Committee of bioethics (Kaunas University of Medicine). Required extent of computed tomography scanning and required high amount and hi...

cLinicAL GUideLines 213 Purpose The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recognizes the importance of managing the developing dentition and occlusion and its effect on the well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. Management includes the recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of dentofacial abnormalities. This guideline is intended to set forth objectives for manage...

This paper describes odontomicronychial dysplasia, a pure ectodermal dysplasia of the 2-3 subgroup of group A. It is characterised by precocious eruption and shedding of deciduous dentition, precocious eruption of secondary dentition with short, rhomboid roots, and short, thin, slow growing nails. This condition probably results from an autosomal recessive gene.

A basic 4D imaging system to capture the jaw motion has been developed that produces high resolution 3D surface data. Fluorescent microspheres are brushed onto the areas of the upper and the lower arches to be imaged, producing a high-contrast random optical pattern. A hand-held imaging device operated at about 10 cm from the mouth captures time-based perspective images of the fluorescent areas...

the presence of supernumerary teeth is not uncommon in the general population. they occur more frequently in patients with a family history of such teeth but it is rare to find multiple supernumeraries in individuals with no other associated disease or syndrome. there have been very few documented cases of bilateral maxillary and mandibular supernumeraries, distal to the third molars. supernume...

This is the second paper in a four-part series detailing the relative merits of the treatment strategies, clinical techniques and dental materials for the restoration of health, function and aesthetics for the dentition. In this paper the management of wear in the anterior dentition is discussed, using three case studies as illustration.
