They are more appropriately termed hamartomas because of their limited growth potential rather than true neoplasm. Clinically, three types of odontomas are identified in the literature: central (intraosseous) odo...

and painful ; the gums were spongy and tender. Two or three teeth in the lower jaw were also decayed, but not painful. It appears that he has suffered from tooth-ache more or less for the last ten years, and that he had a molar tooth extracted some time ago ; he has had facial neuralgia, but no eruption previously.. He is otherwise in fair health, and is temperate. The eruption extended from th...

Tooth eruption is a complex process, during which series of factors can cause failure it. Among this, primary (PFE) non-syndromic condition that leads to an incomplete tooth despite the presence clear pathway. The aim this narrative review provide overall view about clinical considerations, genetics-related aspects, and possible treatments PFE based on latest findings. A literature search using...

This study evaluated factors that affected pulpectomy (PE) success and its effect on the succedaneous tooth's eruption and enamel formation. Sixty-five of 250 patients with PEs met the selection criteria and yielded 81 zinc oxide-eugenol PEs (30 incisors, 51 molars) followed a mean time of 90.8 months. Overall PE success was 77.7% with no difference between molars and incisors (P = 0.53). Ename...

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP)-knockout mice die at birth with a chondrodystrophic phenotype characterized by premature chondrocyte differentiation and accelerated bone formation, whereas overexpression of PTHrP in the chondrocytes of transgenic mice produces a delay in chondrocyte maturation and endochondral ossification. Replacement of PTHrP expression in the chondrocytes o...

Odontomas are the most common of the odontogenic tumors of the jaws, which are benign, slow growing, and nonaggressive. They are usually asymptomatic and found in routine dental radiographic examination. Odontomas are usually associated with tooth eruption disturbances. Eruption of odontoma in oral cavity is rare entity. Here we report a case of an unusual erupted compound odontoma.

Primary Failure of tooth Eruption (PFE) is a non-syndromic disorder which can be caused by mutations in the parathyroid hormone receptor 1 gene (PTH1R). Traditionally, the disorder has been identified clinically based on post-emergent failure of eruption of permanent molars. However, patients with PTH1R mutations will not benefit from surgical and/or orthodontic treatment and it is therefore cl...

In order to test whether the formation of a replacement tooth bud in a continuously replacing dentition is linked to the functional state of the tooth predecessor, I examined the timing of development of replacement teeth with respect to their functional predecessors in the pharyngeal dentition of the zebrafish. Observations based on serial semithin sections of ten specimens, ranging in age fro...

The importance of forensic age estimation in living subjects has grown over the last few years. In dental age estimation, tooth eruption is a parameter of developmental morphology that can be analyzed by either clinical examination or by evaluation of dental X-rays. In the present study, we determined the stage of wisdom tooth eruption in 410 male and 106 female Black South African subjects of ...
