Clinical Problems

ABSTRACTTalon cusps and gemination are rare dental anomalies that can cause significant aesthetic and clinical problems. Bilateral talon cusps on geminated teeth have not been reported so far. The case of gemination with talon cusps on both maxillary central incisors was presented in this report. The main complaints of the patient were tongue irritation and aesthetic problems. The talon cusps were gradually reduced at 2 consecutive sittings and the exposed surface was treated with a fluoride gel. The aesthetical appearance was improved using a composite resin. Fixed orthodontic treatment was initiated for repositioning the left maxillary lateral incisor. A long term, multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the treatment of gemination with talon cusps.

Anterior crossbite refers to the abnormal vestibulolingual relationship in the sagittal dimension between one or more anterior superior and inferior anterior teeth. It can be classified as dental, functional or skeletal. Each has its own diagnostic criteria and specific treatment, and it is up to the dentist to know how to distinguish between these different natures of malocclusion. In this sense, the aim of this study is to show a case report about an ACM. Patient HCA, female, 7 years old, attending the Preventive Orthodontics Clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry of Araçatuba - UNESP, having as main complaint “untidy front tooth”. The patient has no history of systemic diseases or medication use. The patient was in the first transitional period of mixed dentition with her right maxillary central incisor in crossbite relationship with its antagonists mandibular central incisor. On both sides, the patient had the first permanent molars in Class I relationship, the deciduous second molars with mesial step and the deciduous canines in a Class I. Initially, an acrylic appliance with an expander was installed. Due to lack of cooperation, the treatment plan was changed and the patient received a fixed appliance with a 2x2 configuration, with brackets on maxillary central incisors and edgewise tubes on maxillary deciduous molars. In the lower arch, a bite lift was performed on the occlusal surface of mandibular deciduous molars to unblock the occlusion and facilitate the movement of right maxillary central incisor. The total treatment time was 60 days.

Classification And Treatment

Background : The Indian population shows an extensive range of gingival pigmentation. A detailed description of the gingival pigmentation pattern would provide data for the formulation of an efficient plan for depigmentation. This article gives a novel comprehensive classification to aid in the precise assessment of the pattern and distribution of gingival pigmentation and decision regarding the methods for depigmentation. Methods : Previously existing, established indices and classifications for degree of pigmentation, facial complexion, smile line, lip colour and their modifications were used to differentiate various categories of Esthetics: Esthetic, Unaesthetic-mild, Unaesthetic-severe. Treatment needs were formulated based on the category of Esthetics. Results : The various categories of esthetics include E (Esthetic), M (Unaesthetic-Mild), N (UnaestheticSevere) and specific treatment modalities have been assigned based on the treatment needs. Discussion : The treatment for gingival pigmentation should be based on overall facial esthetics. The classification given in this article takes into consideration the components of facial esthetics: Facial Pigmentation, Degree and distribution of gingival pigmentation, smile line and lip colour. The treatment plan proposed considers the need for the treatment and the possible treatment for each category of esthetics. Conclusion : The classification proposed in this article attempts a complete coverage of combinations of facial esthetic components and the Treatment Index encompasses all the possible treatment modalities for each combination. Although a learning curve might exist, once mastered, the classification and treatment index would serve as a baseline for determining treatment needs in patients with gingival pigmentation.

Background: Joubert syndrome is a very rare condition with dismal prognosis. It is characterized by several abnormalities including molar tooth sign on MRI. When coupled with mega cisterna magna- a feature of the Dandy Walker syndrome- it is categorized as Joubert plus syndrome. Case report: A 16 month old male child with Joubert syndrome was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry Alexandria University, complaining of severe tongue and lower lip injury due to self-mutilation. He required multiple teeth extractions under general anesthesia to prevent further tongue and lip mutilation. Conclusion: Joubert plus syndrome is a very rare occurring condition. Because self-mutilation is sometimes fatal, a treatment plan tailored to each patient's need is mandatory. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended.

ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by complete or partial obstructions of the upper airway. In this study we are presenting a case report of 11-year-old male patient with enlarged adenoids and tonsils, convex profile, receded chin, lower lip trap, class II skeletal and dental relationship with increased overjet. Surgical removal of enlarged adenoids was done before commencement of twinblock therapy. After this, two-step advancement with expansion in both arches utilizing twin blocks was planned. Four months into the treatment, patient reported with history of facial trauma with avulsed maxillary left central incisor. Twin block was then modified with pontic as replacement for maxillary left central incisor. Sagittal correction resulting in class I molar relationship was achieved in next 6 months. Fixed appliance therapy was followed. The design of the appliance and the results achieved after the postfunctional therapy are presented in this case report.

Objective: Fusion is a developmental anomaly of the teeth. It is dened as the union of two independently developing primary or permanent teeth. Aberrations in morpho differentiation stage of tooth development leads to abnormal forms and sizes of teeth. This paper reports a rare case of bilateral fusion of mandibular primary rst molar and canine. A 10 year old boy reported with the chief complaint of difculty in chewing due to mobility of teeth in lower back teeth region. Intraoral, radiographic and histopathological examinations indicated fusion of mandibular deciduous canine and deciduous rst molar on both sides. According to the treatment plan, the fused teeth were extracted. Fusion of teeth is caused by various etiological factors, can be diagnosed by amalgamation of clinical, radiological and histopathological examinations and can be treated by multidisciplinary approach. Accurate diagnosis of dental anomalies helps in prompt treatment, which in turn avoids future orthodontic complications and better prognosis.

Abstract Background Rehabilitation of the entire dentition with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) tends to pose a great challenge to the clinician. Most of the cases of amelogenesis imperfecta are reported to be associated with skeletal and dental deformities which results in severe sensitivity of the dental tissues. Case presentation This clinical case report marks out the total restoration of the oral condition of a young Indian patient diagnosed with the hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta. Fixed metal ceramic prosthesis were planned to strengthen the masticatory activity, aesthetics, to banish the dental sensitivity and to build up the general persona of the patient. The patient was followed-up at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years intervals. Functional and esthetic impairment was not visible after the follow up period and the treatment outcome was successful. The entire treatment plan was intended to enhance the functional, esthetic and the masticatory component of the occlusal architecture. Conclusion This case report details the presentation, characteristic radiographic findings, and management of a patient with an extremely rare condition of amelogenesis imperfecta.

ABSTRACT Fusions of teeth and talon cusp are two rare developmental dental anomalies, affecting both primary and permanent dentitions. Both the anomalies are mostly reported as isolated finding and are rarely associated with other dental anomalies. Talon cusp is more common in maxillary anterior teeth in permanent dentition and fusion is commonly reported in mandibular teeth in primary dentition. The concomitant occurrence of talon cusp and fusion is rare and its occurrence in fused mandibular permanent teeth is also rare. This case report presents two unusual cases of concomitant occurrence of talon cusp with fusion in permanent mandibular incisors. The clinical problems associated with these dental anomalies and importance of their management are discussed in these case reports. How to cite this article Goswami M, Jangra B.
