Aggressive periodontitis of the primary dentition associated with idiopathic immune deficiency: case report and treatment considerations

The present case, of a child with an idiopathic immune deficiency and aggressive periodontitis in the primary dentition, serves as an example for the treatment considerations in these cases. Extraction of all the primary teeth proved to be the most adequate treatment. It allowed the child to eat properly and prevented unwanted infections that could endanger the life of the child. The newly erupted permanent teeth have been subjected to careful oral hygiene, clorhexidine topical applications, and have mild gingival inflammation and no attachment loss.

Multiple Primary

Abstract An impacted or missing permanent tooth can add significant complications to an otherwise straightforward case. When multiple impacted teeth are present, the case complexity increases further. Developing a treatment sequence, determining appropriate anchorage, and planning and executing sound biomechanics can be a challenge. The following case report illustrates a patient reportedly diagnosed with mild scleroderma as an adolescent. He presented for orthodontic treatment as an adult with multiple retained primary teeth and multiple impacted teeth. Diagnosis, treatment planning, and various methods of managing guided eruption of impacted teeth will be discussed. Following orthodontic treatment that required extraction of multiple primary and permanent teeth as well as exposure and ligation of multiple permanent teeth by an oral surgeon, the patient finished with a significantly improved functional and esthetic result.

Destructive forms of periodontal disease in children are uncommon. Severe periodontal destruction can be a manifestation of a systemic disease; however, in some patients, the underlying cause of increased susceptibility and early onset is still unknown. Objective: To describe an effective therapeutic approach to Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis (GAgP) in children, based on a 3-1/2 year-old male patient referred to the Hospital due to early loss of incisors, gingivitis,and tooth mobility in his primary dentition. Intraoral examination revealed severe gingival inflammation,dental abscesses, pathological tooth mobility, bleeding upon probing and attachment loss around several primary teeth. Dental radiographs revealed horizontal and vertical bone loss. Treatment consisted on the extraction of severely affected primary teeth, systemic antibiotics, deep scaling of remaining teeth and strict oral hygiene measures. Once the patient's periodontal condition was stabilized, function and esthetics were restored with "pedi-partials." After a follow-up period of nearly 4 years, the patient's periodontal status remains healthy, facilitating the eruption of permanent teeth. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and good treatment regimen may provide an effective therapeutic management of Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis.

The Status

Objective: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in permanent teeth as a result of a trauma concerning the predecessor primary teeth. Study design: A total of 241 records of children (118 males and 123 females, mean age 3.62 ± 1.40) affected by trauma on primary teeth were analyzed. All patients were recalled to evaluate the status of the permanent successor teeth by clinical and radiographic investigations. Results: Out of 241 patients, 106 patients (for a total of 179 traumatized primary teeth) presented at the recall. Dental anomalies on successor permanent teeth were detected in 21 patients (19.8%), for a total of 26 teeth (14.5%) and 28 anomalies. Anomalies of the eruptive process were the most observed disturbances (60.7%), followed by enamel hypoplasia (25%) and white spots (14.3%). A higher percentage of anomalies on permanent teeth was observed when trauma occurred at an age less than 36 months (38.5% of cases). Intrusive and extrusive luxation were related with the most cases of clinical disturbances in the successor permanent teeth. Conclusions: The results of this study highlight the risk of dental anomalies after a trauma in primary dentition, especially in early-aged children and in case of intrusive luxation.

Supernumerary Tooth

A mesiodense is a most common supernumerary tooth which is one of the most significant dental anomalies at the primary and early mixed dentition stages. The reported prevalence of mesiodense in general population ranges between 0.15% to 1.9% and more frequently found in the permanent dentition but rarely found in primary dentition. Mesiodense are primarily responsible for eruption disturbances or delay of the maxillary anterior permanent teeth emergence. Therefore the dentists and parents are great concern about malocclusion and esthetic problems which is caused by mesiodense. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment of mesiodense is important to prevent further complications in permanent dentition. A case of mesiodense of 8 years old child in upper anterior region in mixed dentition and their management have been discussed. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2020; 10 (2): 26-28

Dens Invaginatus

Oligodontia is a rare dental anomaly with a prevalence of 0.3% in permanent teeth and much less frequency in the primary dentition. Familial oligodontia represents an absence of varying numbers of primary and/or secondary teeth as an isolated trait. It is a complex and multifactorial condition. Many explanations—evolutionary, genetic, and environmental—have been proposed as the etiology. Simultaneous with oligodontia are often the different positional changes of the existing teeth, their morphology, size, and growth disturbances of the maxillofacial skeleton. Early recognition is vital to provide adequate treatment and prevent squeal. Multidisciplinary referral or consultation is thus important in treatment planning to improve function and esthetics. The present paper reports a rare case of familial oligodontia associated with multiple dense invaginatus and microdontia.

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.

Functional Part

The goal of pulp therapy in the primary dentition is to retain the primary tooth as a fully functional part of the dentition, allowing at the same time for mastication, phonation, swallowing, and the preservation of the space required for the eruption of the permanent 1,2 tooth . The premature loss of primary teeth may cause changes in the chronology and sequence of eruption permanent teeth. Maintenance of primary teeth until physiological exfoliation prevents deleterious 3 habits in children .

Trauma and pulpal infections in primary dentition are part of the routine of the pediatric dentist. Common consequences in these cases are alterations in dental color, compromising patient's esthetics and his interaction in social environment. Bleaching intends to preserve dental structure already weakened and to show immediate esthetic results. This clinical case shows a bleaching technique in devitalized primary teeth using bleaching agent with 35% hydrogen peroxide activated by photo polymerizer.This technique is simple and shows immediate satisfactory results.
