This article reports the case of a Brazilian child diagnosed with Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS), addressing the clinical features observed, with emphasis on the disease-specific oral and craniofacial manifestations. The patient had the distinctive KMS craniofacial appearance, mild delayed mental development, fingers with prominent fingertip pads and visual deficit. The dental findings included ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of lateral incisor agenesis impacted canines and supernumerary teeth in a young adult male population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The panoramic radiographs of 1745 military students (mean age: 18.6 ± 0.52 years) who attended the Center of Aviation Medicine of the Armed Forces of Greece during the period 1997-2011 were initially analyzed for lateral incisor agenes...

Results: Maxillary central and lateral incisors and canines typically presented with a single canal of type I canal configuration. In mandibular teeth, most of the central incisors showed type I (57.4%) canal configuration. Type III was found in 37.0% of the cases. The incidence of type III canal configuration in mandibular lateral incisors was 55.9%. The remainder was distributed mainly betwee...

It is unusual for babies to have teeth at birth or within a month of delivery. For good differential diagnosis whether there are extra teeth, Bhon nodules, dental lamina cysts, proper clinical and radiographic examination required. The clinic branch received rare case natal this report's subject. An 18-day-old male new-born was checked because he had two mandibular incisor teeth. Because the ri...

Objective: To determine the frequency of patients who require extraction of permanent premolars among those treated with extraction of deciduous teeth for the correction of incisor crowding in the mixed dentition and analyze possible associated variables. Methods: The sample was composed of orthodontic records of 70 patients with permanent dentition whose treatment had begun in the mixed dentit...

Central incisor, congenital absence, hypodontia, tooth agenesis. Abstract Hypodontia is the congenital absence of less than six teeth because of agenesis. The absence of teeth may be unilateral or bilateral. There are reports showing unilateral occurrence of permanent mandibular incisors. But agenesis of bilateral mandibular central incisors is not well documented in the literature and comprehe...

Trauma to primary teeth can lead to devastating sequels in development of permanent successors. The disturbance may range from enamel hypoplasia and/or hypo-calcification to arrest of dental bud development. Crown dilaceration of permanent teeth is one of the consequences of trauma to deciduous teeth mainly due to intrusion or avulsion. This report presents a mandibular central incisor with dil...

INTRODUCTION Tooth agenesis is a phenomenon that occurs relatively commonly. The incidence of the missing teeth presented in the previous reports varies according to the studied population. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of tooth agenesis in a population group in Bucharest. METHODS AND RESULTS The prevalence and distribution of dental agenesis was determined in a...

A finite element model is used to explore the stress-strain responses of the mandibular central incisor and its associated periodontal ligament (PDL) while opening the bite. The finite element model consisted of the mandibular teeth, the alveolar bone, and the PDL of the mandibular incisors. The clinical scenario was simulated by applying a force of 10 cN to the mandibular incisor in a crown-ro...

Open bite was defined as lack of vertical overlap between the incisor edges of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. It can be either located anterior or posterior and can be either dental or skeletal in origin [1]. It was found to be significantly associated with temporomandibular joint disorders [2-4]. Adolescent patients with anterior open bite commonly have masticatory muscle dysfunc...
