Dentigerous cysts (DCs) are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. The purpose of this study is to describe the management of DCs in four children. Four boys aged between 7 and 9 years were referred to our clinics with the complaints of intraoral alveolar swelling or facial asymmetry on the affected area. The panoramic radiographies showed large, well-defined radiolucent lesions associated with the deciduous teeth and displaced tooth buds. The treatment consisted of the extraction of the involved deciduous tooth and marsupialization of the cyst to allow eruption of the permanent tooth. Permanent teeth displaced by the DCs in three cases erupted spontaneously within one-year period. The case with horizontally displaced permanent tooth was managed by replantation. This is the first time that underlying permanent tooth in a DC case was intentionally replanted.

Dentigerous cysts represent the second most common odontogenic cysts of the jaws after radicular cysts and are usually associated with the crowns of unerupted permanent teeth and rarely deciduous teeth. They are usually solitary in their presentation. Multiple and bilateral dentigerous cysts are an extremely rare presentation in the absence of developmental syndromes or systemic diseases or the use of prescribed certain medications. We hereby present a case of a bilateral dentigerous cyst of the maxilla in a 10-year-old child involving the crowns of unerupted permanent second premolar on the right side and the unerupted permanent canine on the left side. An effort has also been made to review the existing literature on this entity and to stress the importance of radiographic and histopathological examinations in diagnosing such an entity.

ABSTRACT Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the Young's modulus and the hardness of deciduous and permanent teeth following wear challenges using different dental materials. Materials and Methods: Wear challenges were performed against four dental materials: A resin-based fissure sealant (Fluoroshield®), a glass ionomer based fissure sealant (Vitremer®), and two microhybrid composite resins (Filtek Z250 and P90®). Using the pin-on-plate design, a deciduous or a permanent tooth was made into a pin (4 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm) working at a 3 N vertical load, 1 Hz frequency, and 900 cycles (15 min) with Fusayama artificial saliva as a lubricant. Before and after the tribological tests, the hardness and elasticity modulus of the tooth samples were measured by creating a nanoindentation at load forces up to 50 mN and 150 mN. All of the results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and post-hoc Duncan's tests (P < 0.05). Results: No difference in hardness was encountered between deciduous and permanent teeth (P < 0.05) or modulus of elasticity (P < 0.05) before or after the wear challenges for all of the dental materials tested. Conclusions: Wear challenges against the studied dental materials did not alter the properties of permanent or deciduous teeth after the application of a 3 N load.

Dental fusion also called ‘synodontia’ is a rare dental developmental anomaly in which the union of two independently developing primary or permanent tooth buds occurs. Tooth fusion is defined as union between the dentin and / or enamel of two or more separate developing teeth. The fusion may be partial or total depending upon the stage of tooth development at the time of union. The etiology of fusion is still unclear. The overall prevalence of the tooth fusion is approximately 0.5%. Fusion may be unilateral or bilateral and most often occurs in primary teeth with more predilections for anterior teeth. Clinically fused anterior teeth frequently have a groove or notch on the incisal edge that goes in buccolingual direction and radiographically, the dentin of fused teeth always appears to be joined in some region with separate pulp chambers and canals. Hence the cases of fusion of permanent teeth in different ages are presented.Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research and Education Vol.5(2) 2015: 70-72

Aims: The main goal of the following case report was to shed the light on the importance of thorough clinical, radiological and histological examinations in order to elaborate a final diagnosis of asymptomatic dentigerous cysts detected in unusual locations. Presentation of Case: A case of dentigerous cyst was identified accidentally in the maxillary left premolar region of an asymptomatic 14-year-old female post an orthodontic consultation. Histological examination of the tissue specimens following enucleation confirmed the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. Discussion: Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts. They involve impacted, un-erupted, permanent, supernumerary, odontomas and rarely deciduous teeth. Dentigerous cysts are usually painless but may cause facial swelling and delayed tooth eruption. Extensive maxillary involvement and childhood presentation are rare. Radio-graphic and histological examinations should be done to confirm the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: In our case, we showed the presence of a maxillary premolar dentigerous cyst that was removed by enucleation. The presence of dentigerous cyst is not always associated with a syndrome and its removal is very important to avoid future complications.

Anterior crossbite occurs as a result of several conditions. These conditions include retained deciduous teeth, overcrowding, trauma to developing permanent tooth buds, and trauma to erupted teeth. Treatment includes the use of orthodontic appliances and materials to correct the occlusal relationship. This case illustrates the use of a maxillary labial bow, a mandibular lingual bar and lingual buttons to correct an anterior crossbite in a dog.

Objectives: The purpose of this review is to determine the usefulness of panoramic radiography during mixed dentition and also to capture panoramic radiographs during mixed dentition. Review: Mixed dentition is a period of mixed dentition and a period of transition from sequential deciduous teeth followed by the eruption of the replacement tooth, namely the permanent tooth. The mixed dental phase occurs in children aged 6-12 years, beginning with the eruption of the first permanent tooth, usually a central incisor or mandibular first molar. Changes in occlusion occur significantly during this time due to the loss of the deciduous teeth and the eruption of the replacement permanent teeth. Conclusion: The mixed dentition period can be classified into 3 phases, namely. (1) the first transitional period, occurs at 6-8 years of age. In this phase, the eruption of the permanent first molars and the replacement of the deciduous incisors with the permanent incisors occurred. (2) the inter-transitional period, after the first molars and permanent incisors erupt, there is a transient period of about 1-2 years before the second transition phase begins. In this phase, it is called inter-transitional because the maxillary and mandibular arches consist of deciduous and permanent teeth. In the inter-transitional phase it is relatively stable and no changes occur. (3) the second transitional period at age (10-13 years), the date of the mandibular canine at about 10 years of age usually begins the second transitional period.

Harp seal fetuses and neonates were examined to determine the development, resorption, and eruption characteristics of deciduous and permanent dentition. Early September fetuses had recently formed, deciduous teeth only. By early December the deciduous dentition was robust and enameled. Permanent teeth were also present. In late December the roots of the deciduous teeth were being resorbed and the permanent dentition was larger and better developed. About 80% of the deciduous teeth were resorbed by birth in March. The rest were resorbed or shed after birth. The pattern of permanent tooth eruption was not correlated with pup age but the total number of teeth erupted increased significantly with increasing pup age, from 38% in newborns to 100% in weaned pups about 3 weeks old. The neonatal line formed at birth rather than at weaning or the onset of moult.

Congenital absence of more than 6 teeth except the third molar is known as oligodontia. It can affect both primary and permanent dentitions. The affected individuals usually demonstrate esthetic, functional, and psychological concerns. The present case report is about a 4-year-old female patient with multiple missing (both primary and permanent) teeth with esthetic and social problems. On extraoral examination, the patient demonstrated upper lip relapse due to missing anterior teeth. On physical examination, no other abnormality was detected in relation to the hair, appendages, or presence of a cleft. On intraoral and radiographic examination, 21 teeth were missing, which included both the primary and the permanent tooth buds. To encourage a positive behavioral change, it was decided to carry out prosthetic intervention using a modified fixed Nance appliance and acrylic teeth. After the replacement of the missing teeth, a marked improvement in the profile and esthetics was seen.

ABSTRACT Apical periodontitis in permanent children’s teeth with incomplete root development is a challenge for endodontists to treat. It is important that highly efficient therapeutic methods and biologically valuable therapies be developed to prevent the loss of these teeth. The AIM of the study was to review modern literature on revascularization of non-vital permanent teeth with incomplete root development, and to present a clinical case. The literature review herein reflects the modern concept of revascularization of non-vital permanent teeth with incomplete root development. Clinical protocols are presented on cases with and without the formation of a blood clot. The case study reports the treatment of an immature non-vital permanent tooth using the technique of revascularization that utilises formation of a blood clot and use of a two-component antibiotic paste for disinfection. One year after treatment the clinical and radiological data showed absence of subjective complaints, thickening of the root walls, apical closure and no periapical pathology of the revascularized tooth. Literature data and the favorable outcome of our case allow us to further research the revascularization of immature non-vital permanent teeth.
