Uncommon Condition

The incidence of permanent canines failing to erupt in the mandible is not as common, and, therefore, not as well reported, as that in the maxilla. Mandibular canines have important functional and aesthetic purposes and knowledge of this uncommon condition is essential for those involved with the management of these cases. This article explores the aetiology, assessment and treatment options available to manage this condition, using examples from treated cases within our department. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An understanding of the aetiology, assessment and various treatment options available to manage impacted and transmigrated mandibular canines will inform better treatment planning.

Second premolars are the third most likely teeth to be affected by impaction after third molar and maxillary canine teeth. Although the presence of an impacted second premolar is relatively common, and is a situation that often presents to general dentists in practice, there is relatively little published regarding this topic. Knowledge of this condition is essential for all those involved with the management of these cases. This article explores the aetiology, assessment and treatment options available to manage this condition, using examples from cases treated within our department. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An understanding of the aetiology, assessment and various treatment options available to manage impacted second premolars will inform better treatment planning.

Unrealistic Expectations

Aim: The aim of this report is to describe the management of a prosthodontic patient expressing unrealistic expectations with respect to the transition to edentulousness. Objectives: To outline (1) the diagnosis and explicit expectations of the patient on presentation (2) considerations made during treatment planning to address the wishes of the first time prosthodontic patient (3) a sequential treatment plan utilizing transitional partial removable dentures to manage the change to edentulousness (4) functional and aesthetic result achieved. Results: Delivery of immediate removable partial dentures retaining key abutment teeth in upper and lower arches was a viable prosthodontic solution in the transition to edentulousness of a patient expecting unrealistic treatment outcomes. Conclusions: Addressing impractical expectations and devising a treatment plan amenable to both clinician and patient is difficult. Strategies to manage these wishes in prosthodontic dentistry can include transitional partial dentures. Clinical relevance: Practitioners who encounter similar situations may consider this report valuable.

Impulsivity, to varying degrees, is what underlies human behavior and decision-making processes. As such, a thorough examination of impulsivity allows us to better understand modes of normal behavior and action as well as a range of related psychopathological disorders, including kleptomania, pyromania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder, and pathological gambling—disorders grouped under the term "impulse control disorders" (ISDs). Recent efforts in the areas of cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and genetics have provided a greater understanding of these behaviors and given way to improved treatment options. The Oxford Handbook of Impulse Control Disorders provides a clear understanding of the developmental, biological, and phenomenological features of a range of ICDs, as well as detailed approaches to their assessment and treatment. Bringing together founding ICD researchers and leading experts from psychology and psychiatry, this volume reviews the biological underpinnings of impulsivity and the conceptual challenges facing clinicians as they treat individuals with ICDs.

Recurrent Pleomorphic Adenoma

This chapter discusses the etiology, clinical presentation, assessment, and treatment of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma. Recurrent tumor following surgery (or any other treatment) usually presents as a recurrent swelling at the primary site, with or without local symptoms. The incidence of recurrence following surgery varies depending on surgical technique, surgeon's experience, duration of follow-up, and clinical integrity. A recurrence rate of less than 1% is generally considered acceptable. The best policy to prevent recurrence of pleopmorphic adenoma is excisional biopsy of the tumor with maximal safe margin and functional neurological preservation. Treatment is determined by the age and physical health of the patient, number of pervious operations, and anatomical extent of the recurrence. Treatment options include observation, local excision, superficial parotidectomy, total conservative parotidectomy, total parotidectomy with resection of the involved nerve and immediate nerve graft (any procedure is followed by radiotherapy), and radiotherapy alone.
