A

maxillary incisors

69
Q

what are clinical features of dens evaginatus?

A

clinically obvious
cusps can wear down due to attrition
premolars:
central cusp but if worn down then exposure of dentine
may lose vitality without any reason
incisors:
talon cusp palatally - may interfere with occlusion, displacement, prevent ortho

some cusps look like extra teeth

70

A

accept and prevent: OHI and fissure seal
additional cusp will contain pulp horn
gradual reduction to encourage reactionary dentine

high risk injuries: avulsion or intrusion
position of dilaceration along the long axis of tooth depends on stage of development at time of insult

mild - ortho aligned
unerupted - surgical exposure and bonding or SR

mild dilacerations of the crown - composite/ shaping

morphogenesis

Q

what are the clinical features of taurodontism?

A

visible crown appears normal

85
Q

what are the radiographic features of taurodontism?

A

long pulp chamber with short root canals

86
Q

what is the management of taurodontism?

A

no management unless the tooth requires tx for another reason
may be more difficult to perform RCT
xla more challenging

87
Q

are short roots a disorder?

A

yes, disorder of tooth form

88
Q

what is the genetic aetiology of short roots?

A

genetic - dentine dyplasia
short root anomoly

89
Q

what is the environmental aetiology of short roots?

A

arrested root development due to loss of vitality prior to apexogenesis
arrested root development due to illness or tx e.g., childhood cancer during root formation
root resorption caused by trauma or ortho, ectopic teeth, pathology

90
Q

what is the prevalence of short roots?

A

depends on cause
genetically, very rare
environementally, common

91
Q

what are clinical features of short roots?

A

may be mobility
pain or sinus if loss of vitality
other associated anomalies like microdontia and enamel defects (if caused by childhood illness)

92
Q

what are radiographic features of short roots?

A

dentine walls thin and wide root canals (where there is arrested development due to loss of vitality)
roots may be tapered (where there is arrested development without loss of vitality)
dentine walls thin and root canal normal width with blunted apex and irregularity in outline of root (where there has been resorption of previous fully formed teeth)

93
Q

what is management of short roots?

A

non-vital teeth need RCT with apexification
vital teeth must be taken care with ortho and perio must be well maintained

where roots are very short plans must be made for their eventual loss
