Regional odontodysplasia of the deciduous and permanent teeth associated with eruption disorders: A case report
WOS: 000259667500007 PubMed: 18758400 Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is an unusual, non-hereditary anomaly of the dental hard tissues with characteristic clinical, radiographic and histological findings. Clinically, RO affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Radiographically, there is a lack of contrast between the enamel dentin, both of which are less radiopaque than unaffected counterparts. Additionally, enamel and dentin layers are thin, giving the teeth a "ghost-like" appearance. Histologically, areas of hypocalcified enamel are visible and enamel prisms appear irregular in direction. Coronal dentin is fibrous, consisting of clefts and a redu…
Benign cementoblastoma: A case report
In the past the benign cementoblastoma was recognized in the World Health Organization?s classification of odontogenic tumours as one of the cementoma neoplasias. Recently the benign cementoblastoma is included into ?Mesenchyme and/or odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without odontogenic epithelium? odontogenic tumours. Benign cementoblastoma has characteristic radiologic and microscopic features and it appears to be fused to the tooth roots. Symptoms may be totally absent, and when they do occur, pain and swelling are frequent findings. The final diagnosis is usually made histopathologically, but the clinical diagnosis is comparatively easy if it is examined radiographically. The tumour …
