Radio anomolies Flashcards
(103 cards)
dental anomolies may be what in nature?
developmental or acquired
Hyperodontia
Teeth in excess of the normal complement (more than what there should be like having 4 of a molar)
Maxillary incisors hyperdontia name
mesiodens
Maxillary fourth molars and Mandibular fourth molars names
- distodens,
- paramolars
tooth type for hyperdontia prevalence in order:
max I>max M> man M> PM> C/LI
what can be seen here?
mesiodens
cystic change of supernumerary teeth
cystic change of follicle may or may not occur
increased likelyhood with exposure to inflammatory mediators
probability inversely related to age, however surgery better tolerated by younger pts
what can be seen here? where is it located?
odontoma, moves D with a D shift so this is located on palatal aspect (SLOB)
how could CBCT be useful for supernumerary teeth? con?
when there are many, the more there are the harder it becomes to locate them with simple technique (SLOB)
comes at an additonal cost
is there an anomoly? complications?
yes, a supernumary tooth is present at apex of PT tooth= inflammatory mediator present which can cause cystic change but this has yet to occur
the longer this is left the more likely ankylosis becomes too resulting in a difficult removal if problems arise
anomoly?
yes supernumerary tooth
anomoly, complcation?
distodens (3)
potential for pericoronal infection at the mandibular ones
impacted molar removal
best to remove these asap, more likely to undergo cystic degeneration
anomoly
impacted molar but not supernumerary
where is it most likely to have multiple hyperdontia (>1 extra tooth)
PM area
Syndromes with multiple teeth
- Cleidocranial Dysplasia
- Gardner
Cleidocranial Dysplasia additional signs
- Frontal & parietal bossing
- Clavicular aplasia
Gardner Syndrome additional signs
- Autosomal dominant- family Hx
- Multiple osteomas including the jaws
- Colorectal polyps with malignant potential
- Multiple supernumerary teeth
- Lesions of skin (cutaneous epidermoid cysts
and fibromas)
what discussed syndrome is lilkely present
gardner
Problems with Supernumeraries
- Affect eruption of normal complement of
teeth - Cystic degeneration of follicular epithelium of impacted teeth
what issue are supernumerary teeth causing in this child (4.5y)
difficulty with proper eruption
what issue have supernumerary teeth caused in the mandible?
cystic degeneration
Hypodontia
less than the normal tooth complement of an existing dentition; permanent or deciduous
less than one or more of an existing dentition; permanent or deciduous
Anodontia
congenital absence of all teeth
