Multiple dental developmental abnormalities (e.g., dental impaction, partial eruption, oligodontia, enamel hypoplasia, and dentin hypoplasia) in a 10-month-old, female, Tanzanian tropical mixed-breed puppy are reported. Various permanent teeth were involved. These included impacted mandibular canine and first and third premolar teeth; a partially erupted maxillary canine tooth; oligodontia of a mandibular fourth premolar tooth; enamel hypoplasia of the maxillary and mandibular canine teeth, incisors, and premolars; and dentin hypoplasia of the maxillary incisors, maxillary premolars, and mandibular premolars. The puppy had clinical canine distemper at the age of two months and had no history of any other systemic nor generalized infection prior to the time when the dental abnormalities were observed.

AbstractThe enamel defects, hypoplasia and hypo mineralization, are classified as dental anomalies of structure, being frequently found in deciduous and permanent dentitions, since the permanent teeth and second deciduous molars finish their total mineralization after the age of three. The aim of the present study was to identify the presence of hypo mineralization and/or enamel hypoplasia and to associate it with respiratory problems in infant patients. Of the 90 patients evaluated, it was found that 23 male children (57.5%) and 22 female children (44%) had defects in the structure of tooth enamel. Most children were born by cesarean operation (64.4%), with no complications during birth (90.0%), 12.2% of children had dental anomalies (agenesis, ectopic canine, ankylosis, fusion, conoid tooth, and macrodontia, only 7 children showed an association between dental anomalies and enamel defects. Regarding respiratory problems that occurred up to 3 years of age, 38.9% had an episode of asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, or pneumonia, and 55% had similar results at the current age. There was a positive association (Chi-square tests) between the presence of changes in the structure of tooth enamel and the presence of respiratory problems up to 3 years of age (p <0.001). It is concluded, therefore, that the presence of respiratory problems in early childhood, can interfere in amelogenesis, providing disturbances for the formation of normal enamel, causing defects or irregularities in the surface of the dental enamel, such as hypoplasias and hypo mineralization. Keywords: Dental Enamel Hypoplasia. Dental Enamel. Tooth Abnormalities. ResumoOs defeitos de esmalte, hipoplasia e hipomineralização, são classificados como anomalias dentárias de estrutura, sendo encontrados com frequência nas dentições decídua e permanente, já que os dentes permanentes e segundos molares decíduos finalizam sua total mineralização após os três anos de idade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a presença de hipomineralização e/ou hipoplasia de esmalte, e associá-la com problemas respiratórios no paciente infantil. Dos 90 pacientes avaliados, constatou-se que 23 crianças do gênero masculino (57,5%) e 22 do gênero feminino (44%) apresentaram defeitos na estrutura do esmalte dentário. A maioria das crianças nasceu de parto cesária (64,4%), sem complicação no parto (90,0%), 12,2% das crianças apresentaram anomalias dentárias (agenesia, canino ectópico, anquilose, fusão, dente conóide e macrodontia), somente 7 crianças apresentaram associação entre anomalias dentárias e defeitos de esmalte. Em relação à problemas respiratórios ocorrido até aos 3 anos de idade 38,9% apresentaram algum episódio de asma, bronquite, sinusite, rinite ou pneumonia e 55% apresentaram resultados semelhantes na idade atual. Houve associação positiva (Testes Qui Quadrado) entre a presença de alterações na estrutura do esmalte dentário e presença de problemas respiratórios até os 3 anos de idade (p<0,001). Conclui-se, portanto, que a presença de problemas respiratórios na primeira infância, podem interferir na amelogênese, proporcionando distúrbios para formação do esmalte normal, causando defeitos ou irregularidades na superfície do esmalte dentário, como hipoplasias e hipomineralizações.

Canine Distemper (CD) is a severe life threatening disease with a worldwide distribution caused by a Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae similar to the human Measles virus, transmitted between susceptible hosts and the dog still remains the most important reservoir for the infection (Leisewitz et al., 2001). The disease affects mainly domestic dogs but has become a serious problem in a wide range of hosts, threatening captive and free- ranging wildlife populations including several marine mammals such as seals, dolphins and whales (Visser et al., 1993). Dogs show signs of severe tooth enamel damage or enamel hypoplasia during the course of the disease particularly in young puppies whose teeth have not fully developed

Dental fluorosis is a defect of enamel formation caused by chronic ingestion of fluoride from different sources during tooth development, which results in interference in proper mineralization. Clinically the tooth enamel may present as white striae along the lines of enamel, opaque white spot and in more severe cases as brown spots. Diagnosis is based on clinical characteristics associated with a history of exposure to fluoride. The aim of this report is to present a treatment in a child with severe aesthetic compromising in anterior maxillary permanent teeth caused by fluorosis. The treatment was based on a combination of three techniques in order to be minimally invasive, enhance aesthetics and preserving the dental structure.

A 10 mo old Sapsaree dog presented for evaluation and treatment of malocclusion causing palatal trauma. A class III malocclusion with mesiolinguoversion of the 404 and enamel hypoplasia was diagnosed based on oral examination. It was decided to attempt orthodontic correction of the mesiolinguoverted tooth using an elastic chain and inclined bite plane technique with crown restoration of the enamel hypoplasia teeth. One year after the orthodontic correction and composite removal, the mesiolinguoverted right mandibular canine tooth was moved to an acceptable location within the dental arch and the locally discolored right maxillary canine tooth was vital.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the oral health of patients with head and neck cancer after antineoplastic treatment, and to compare them with patients with no history of cancer. Methods A total of 75 patients, divided into Study Group, composed of individuals after antineoplastic treatment (n=30), and Control Group, with individuals with no history of cancer (n=45), aged 37 to 79 years. The oral health status was evaluated through the index of decayed, missing or filled permanent teeth (DMFT), community periodontal index and evaluation of the use and need of prosthesis. All of these items were evaluated according to the criteria recommended by the World Health Organization. The statistical analysis was descriptive and used the Pearson’s χ2 test. Results The community periodontal index was higher in the Study Group when compared to the Control Group (p<0.0001). The need for an upper (p<0.001) and lower (p<0.0001) prostheses was higher in the Study Group. Also, the use of upper prosthesis was higher in the Study Group (p<0.002). The missing or filled permanent teeth index between the two groups (p>0.0506) and the use of lower prosthesis (p>0.214) did not present a relevant statistical difference. Conclusion Periodontal disease and edentulism are the most significant changes in individuals who received antineoplastic therapy for head and neck cancer as well as greater need for oral rehabilitation.

It has been known for over 25 years that treatment with oral tetracyclines can permanently stain children’s teeth1 yet these drugs are still needlessly being prescribed for children. In 1982 over 75,000 prescriptions for a liquid tetracycline preparation were dispensed, most of which were probably for children; up to one third of paediatric patients have been affected,2–6 although the proportion has fallen over the last 10 years.7 Even a short course of tetracycline can stain both the permanent3,8 and deciduous teeth9 a disfiguring greyish-brown or yellow colour. Children are at risk from the 14th week in utero, when calcification of deciduous teeth begins, to their 7th year when calcification of the permanent teeth is complete. Whether tetracyclines produce enamel hypoplasia10 or promote caries11 is disputed.12

Background: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a hereditary condition that affects the structure of tooth enamel and causes sensitivity, predisposition to cavities, and psychological problems. In Colombia, its frequency, magnitude, distribution, and behavior are unknown, so it is necessary to carry out prevalence studies to implement preventive actions. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of AI in patients who have attended the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana clinics in Bogotá. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out, whose sample included 1,394 medical records of patients who attended between January 2015 and December 2017. Results: The prevalence of AI was 0.6 %, corresponding to 8 people affected, 4 men and 4 women between the ages of 9 and 10 years. The most frequent phenotype was hypoplastic in 7 patients (87.5 %) and one person had a hypocalcified phenotype (12.5 %). Taurodontism was the most frequent anomaly in the 8 patients (100 %). Seven of the eight patients (87.5 %) had a family history of AI. All the individuals had a lower-middle socioeconomic level and came from urban areas. Conclusions: This study is the first approximation to determine the prevalence of AI in a group of the Colombian population. Although the prevalence was low, it is comparable with the findings of other studies.

PURPOSE: To evaluate bone healing in the extraction socket of the feline mandibular canine tooth after grafting. METHODS: Eighteen adult cats were submitted to unilateral extraction of mandibular canine tooth and divided into three groups. In group 1 (n=6), control, the extraction socket was left empty. In group 2 (n=6), the extraction socket was filled with autogenous cancelous bone from the iliac crest and in group 3 (n=6), with cortical bone chips from the iliac crest. Cats were euthanized at 6 weeks postoperative. RESULTS: Immediate postoperative radiographs in dorsoventral view showed a radiolucent area at the extraction wound. A decreased radiolucency was observed on the radiographs taken at 6 weeks postoperative. Histological examination showed formation of woven bone within the extraction socket. The percentage of newly formed bone within the extraction socket, measured by the histometry, showed no statistically significant difference among the values of the three groups (Kruskal-Wallis'test p>0.05) (group 1: 52.54 ± 15.46, group 2: 50.51 ± 5.01, group 3: 51.85 ± 9.52). CONCLUSION: The bone regeneration observed in the extraction sockets filled with autogenous cancellous bone or autogenous cortical bone chips was similar to that observed in the control sites, given an observation period of 6 weeks after extraction of the mandibular canine tooth.
