La Amelogénesis imperfecta (AI) es una alteración hereditaria que afecta el esmalte y, se caracteriza por hipomineralización o hipoplasia con decoloración, sensibilidad y fragilidad de los dientes. Se reporta el caso de un paciente de sexo femenino, de 5 años, no receptivo, es referido por emergencia a la Clínica Dental Cayetano Heredia debido a dolor intenso. Durante la anamnesis, el padre de familia refiere que tanto él, como el segundo hijo, poseen la misma alteración dentaria que su menor hija. Evaluación clínica radiográfica: el paciente presenta: lesiones cavitadas múltiples, necrosis pulpar, hipoplasia del esmalte. El diagnóstico presuntivo del defecto del esmalte: Amelogénesis Imperfecta. Se indica al padre de familia las alternativas de tratamiento, y este opta por un tratamiento integral bajo anestesia general. Habiendo extraído la pieza 7.5, como parte del tratamiento, ésta se lleva al servicio de patología para su análisis. Diagnóstico final: Amelogénesis Imperfecta tipo hipoplásico. Tratamiento: consiste en: profilaxis y aplicación de flúor barniz c/2 meses, pulpectomía, cementación de coronas de acero preformadas y restauraciones con resina. Discusión: Es importante averiguar si los miembros de la familia muestran alteraciones dentales (malformación hereditaria). Cuando se confirma el diagnóstico de AI, se debe considerar un tratamiento integral temprano. El tiempo de vida disminuida de las restauraciones directas en pacientes con AI, sugiere un mantenimiento constante de las restauraciones hasta que puedan realizarse restauraciones protésicas definitivas. En el caso de grandes destrucciones de dientes primarios, están indicadas coronas de acero inoxidable. Conclusiones: La AI es un trastorno hereditario que se debe diagnosticar en una etapa temprana y llevar un tratamiento integral con controles periódicos frecuentes. La utilización de coronas de acero preformadas para dientes posteriores y resinas para dientes anteriores podrían ser las mejores alternativas en pacientes que sufren AI.

The presented article is an attempt to interpret the historical phenomenon of VHS during the economic transformation in Poland. This technology is understood here as an ideological complex, which functioned on three levels: content distributed on videotapes, a business model, and an offer directed to a broad audience. Through films distributed on tape, VHS was a medium of capitalist realism: it showed capitalist social formation as a background for the way in which individuals experience their lives. VHS was also a transitory phenomenon: as a technology, medium of specific content, and practice it has lost popularity towards the end of the phase of capitalism, with which it was tied.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is defined as an interruption of enamel formation due to genetic inheritance. To prevent malfunction of the masticatory system and an unaesthetic appearance, various treatment options are described. While restoration with a compomer in the anterior region and stainless steel crowns in the posterior region is recommended for deciduous dentition, the challenges when treating such structural defects in mixed or permanent dentition are changing teeth and growing jaw, allowing only temporary restoration. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate oral rehabilitation from mixed to permanent dentition. The dentition of a 7-year-old patient with AI type I and a 12-year-old patient with AI type II was restored under general anesthesia to improve their poor aesthetics and increase vertical dimension, which are related to problems with self-confidence and reduced oral health quality of life. These two cases show the complexity of dental care for structural anomalies of genetic origin and the challenges in rehabilitating the different phases of dentition.

AbstractThis study takes a comprehensive approach to characterizing the isolation sequence of Heimerdalsvatnet, a coastal lake in the Lofoten Islands, northern Norway. We use established methods and explore new techniques to assess changes in marine influence. Bathymetric and sub-bottom profiles were acquired to examine basin-wide sedimentation and a 5.8 m sediment core spanning the last 7800 cal yr BP was analyzed. We measured magnetic susceptibility, bulk organic matter properties, molecular biomarkers, diatom assemblages, and elemental profiles acquired by scanning X-ray fluorescence. These characteristics of the sediment reflect detailed changes in salinity and water column conditions as the lake was progressively isolated. Three distinct litho/chemo-stratigraphic units represent a restricted marine phase (7800–6500 cal yr BP), a transitional phase characterized by intermittent marine influence (6500–4900 cal yr BP), and complete isolation and freshwater sedimentation (4900 cal yr BP to present). Although there are uncertainties in the estimate of the threshold elevation of the lake, the timing of these phases generally corresponds with previous interpretations of the local relative sea-level history. This record captures sea-level regression following the Tapes transgression and supports the interpretation of a subsequent sea-level stillstand, dated in Heimerdalsvatnet from 6500 to 4900 cal yr BP.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary disease with abnormal dental enamel formation. Here we report a Japanese family with X-linked AI transmitted over at least four generations. Mutation analysis revealed a novel mutation (p.P52R) in exon 5 of the amelogenin gene. The mutation was detected as heterozygous in affected females and as hemizygous in their affected father. The affected sisters exhibited vertical ridges on the enamel surfaces, whereas the affected father had thin, smooth, yellowish enamel with distinct widening of inter-dental spaces. To study the pathological cause underlying the disease in this family, we synthesized the mutant amelogenin p.P52R protein and evaluated it in vitro. Furthermore, we studied differences in the chemical composition between normal and affected teeth by x-ray diffraction analysis and x-ray fluorescence analysis. We believe that these results will greatly aid our understanding of the pathogenesis of X-linked AI.
