Developmental anomalies of tooth are not uncommon to find in clinical practice these days. Thorough knowledge of these anomalies is a prerequisite for their correct diagnosis, understanding clinical complications and management. Maxillary lateral incisor is one which is frequently associated with such developmental malformations, commonly affected by microdontia, hypodontia, dens invaginatus an...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Individuals with oral clefts exhibit considerably more dental anomalies than individuals without clefts. These problems could initially be among the symptoms of their disease and/or they may be the side effect of their treatments. Pushback palatoplasty could cause some interference during the development of teeth and result in tooth defects. PURPOSE The study was perf...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies in an Indian population and to statistically analyze the distribution of these anomalies. The study was based on clinical examination, evaluation of dental casts, and panoramic radiographs of 1123 Indian subjects (572 males, 551 females), who visited the outpatient clinic at Government Dental College, In...

BACKGROUND Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common orofacial congenital malformation in live births. CLP can occur individually or in combination with other congenital deformities. Affected patients experience a number of dental, aesthetic, speech, hearing, and psychological complications and have a higher incidence of severe dental conditions. The purpose of this study is to characterise...

We report here a clinico-statistical study of congenital absence of the permanent canines (CAPC). Sixty-five cases (22 men and 43 women) of CAPC were found in the files of 35,927 outpatients, an incidence of 0.18%. Thirty-seven cases had single absence of the canine and 28 cases had multiple absences. There were 42 cases in the maxilla, 17 in the mandible, and 6 in both the maxilla and the mand...

This retrospective radiographic controlled study investigates the dental phenotype in patients with Crouzon syndrome to determine if differences are observed as suggested by FGFR2C342Y/+ mouse models, and whether these models could be of interest role this mutation tooth development. We assessed using dedicated linear measurements 22 children compared morphology both primary permanent dentition...
