Background: Data on dental anomaly prevalence is instrumental to diagnosis and treatment in different populations. A retrospective study was done to determine dental anomaly prevalence and associations in a group of orthodontic patients in a Mexican population. Methods: Number, shape, eruption and structural dental anomalies were assessed from the records of 670 subjects. Prevalence, distribution, and associations between the different anomalies were calculated. Chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests (p<0.05) were used to identify significant differences by sex, and to establish associations among the studied anomalies. Results: Twenty-eight percent of the sample exhibited at least one dental anomaly. Statistical analysis identified no differences by gender. The most common anomaly was impacted teeth (13.58%), followed by microdontic upper lateral incisors (6.26%). These two anomalies also had the highest number of significant associations with other anomalies. Conclusions: The dental anomalies prevalence documented here differ from those reported in the literature for other populations in the world. Dental anomalies are normally associated with each other and occur in groups linked to ethnic origin. The present results indicate the presence of differing suites of anomalies between the studied Mexican population and other populations in the world. This variation highlights the need for further research on dental anomalies in Latin America to aid in their diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract Aim A new and innovative therapeutic concept using a light-induced fluorescence evaluator for diagnosis and treatment (LIFEDT) of dental caries based on the imaging and autofluorescence of dental tissues is proposed. The aims of this series of in vivo experiments are to compare and analyze the brightness variations of sound dentin and active and arrested carious dentin illuminated with an intraoral LED camera and to determine if this new device could be helpful in daily practice to discriminate between caries and sound dentin. Methods and Materials A new intraoral LED camera that emits visible blue light was used in this in vivo study to illuminate and photograph 15 teeth at high magnification. The magnified images were examined using the free Image J V® version 1.41 software. Four standardized rectangular areas were drawn on each picture that included both healthy and pathologic areas to analyze variations in brightness using a brightness formula: L* = 0.299 Red + 0.587 Green + 0.114 Blue. Results Statistically significant differences in the brightness were found between active and arrested caries processes in an area of infected dentin designated Z2. Within the limitations of this in vivo study, the images created with the intraoral LED camera revealed significant variations in fluorescence between sound dentin and active and arrested caries processes. Conclusions The LIFEDT concept provides a therapeutic concept based on these findings of variations in fluorescence between healthy and pathologic tissue. Clinical Significance This concept defines a pragmatic clinical and therapeutic approach for treating active and arrested carious lesions based on the interpretation of variations of a fluorescence signal and applying the LIFEDT concept to the treatment of dentin carious lesions.

Hidden caries is the term used to describe carious lesions that are not visualized clinically on erupted teeth but can be detected radiographically. The exact etiology remains an area of controversy. The purpose of the current case report was to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of two mandibular premolars with hidden caries. After diagnosis was established, both premolars were treated with indirect pulp caps and resin-based composite restorations. A one year follow up appointment revealed both teeth to be free from signs and symptoms of inflammation.

ABSTRACT Cephalometric analysis for diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic patients is essentially a measurement system designed to describe relationships between various parts of the skeletal, dental and soft tissue elements of craniofacial complex. As the linear and angular measurements vary between males and females and with the age, one of our objectives was to compare the statistical difference between males and females. The study was performed using sample size of 60 cephalometric radiographs of 30 males and 30 females. The samples were selected on the basis of class I dental relationship with clinically acceptable profile, no history of orthodontic treatment and of Jaipur (Rajasthan) population.

Background and Purpose. Fixed orthodontics may be associated with accumulation of Mutans Streptococci (MS), enamel demineralization, and an increased number of carious lesions, predominantly in sites adjacent to brackets. This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Listerine, Oral-B, and Ortho-kin on the accumulation of MS in plaque around orthodontic brackets. Materials and Methods A double-blind randomized cross-over clinical trial on 25 orthodontic patients, classified into 6 groups was done to assess MS in plaque and saliva with the side specific modified Strip-Mutans technique and the plaque (PI) was measured before and after rinsing using 3 types of commercial mouth-rinses. A washout period (3 weeks) was awaited between using each mouth-rinse and the data was analyzed via Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis statistical tests. Results. This study of 25 patients, 5 men and 20 women, with an average age of assessed the effectiveness of mouth-rinses on MS. Our results showed that Ortho-kin had a better effect than Oral-B and Listerine (). Ortho-kin also had better effects than Oral-B and Listerine on plaque accumulation (). Conclusion. Ortho-kin showed better effects on decreasing MS and PI because it contained chlorhexidine.
