Background Tooth abnormalities are most often present in individuals with oral clefts than general population, and lead to a long-term impact on facial anatomy and self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to compare the proportion of dental anomalies between the cleft side and non-cleft side in individuals with non-syndromic unilateral alveolar clefts (AC). Material and Methods Twenty cone ...

Fusion, an uncommon anomaly of the hard dental tissues, is potentially the cause of clinical problems related to esthetics, tooth spacing, and other periodontal complications. This paper describes a multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, endodontic, restorative, and orthodontic attention for the successful, functional, and esthetic rehabilitation of a maxillary left lateral incisor fuse...

OBJECTIVE Tooth agenesis is a common craniofacial anomaly in human beings. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that the bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (BMP4) plays an important role in tooth development. This case-control study was designed to evaluate the association of the polymorphism rs17563 in BMP4 gene with susceptibility of isolated human tooth agenesis in a Chinese Han population. P...

tooth fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the :union: between the dentin and/or enamel of at least two separately developing teeth. the fusion of posterior teeth is an uncommon occurrence. in this article, we report a rare case of unilateral fusion of a mandibular second molar with a paramolar. carious exposure mandated endodontic treatment. the unusual morphology and complex roo...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 the radicular groove is a developmental anomaly that predisposes the tooth to periodontal break-down. sometimes the situation becomes more complicated by pulp necrosis and development of a combined endodontic-periodontal lesion which is a diagnostic and treatment challenge for the clinician. this report presents the succes...

AIM Enamel pearls are a tooth anomaly that can act as contributing factors in the development of periodontal disease. Studies that have addressed the prevalence of enamel pearls in populations were scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of enamel pearls in the permanent dentition of Turkish dental patients by means of panoramic radiographs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Panor...

Dental ectopia is a rare developing anomaly characterized by change in the normal eruption pathway of deciduous, permanent or supernumerary tooth. In some cases, ectopic teeth are present non-dentate area like maxillary sinus. The article presents cone beam computed tomography data 7 asymptomatic patients with totally partially located inside Dentigerous cysts and odontomas can cause displaceme...

Developmental anomalies affecting number, size, shape, structure, and location of teeth are varied. One such rare anomaly affecting the shape of anterior teeth is talon cusp. It is an accessory cusp-like projection found on lingual or labial surfaces of the upper or lower incisors, unilaterally or bilaterally in both dentitions. It is composed of normal enamel and dentine, with or without pulp....

BACKGROUND To analyze the prevalence and associations between dental anomalies detectable on panoramic radiographs in a sample of non-orthodontic growing subjects. METHODS For this cross-sectional study, digital panoramic radiographs of 5005 subjects were initially screened from a single radiographic center in Rome. Inclusion criteria were: subjects who were aged 8-12 years, Caucasian, and ha...
