Frequency of mesiodens in the pediatric population in North India: A radiographic study
2013
Objectives: Mesiodens are the most common supernumerary teeth, occurring in 0.15% to 2.2% of the population. The aim of the present study was to analyze the frequency and radiological features of mesiodens in the pediatric population. Material and methods: The study was based on the radiographic evaluation of 4133 pediatric patients of the age range of 4-15 years, attending the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology during the time period between September 2008 to December 2012. In addition to the presence of a supernumerary tooth between the 2 central incisors, data regarding the number, position, shape and associated complications were also recorded. Results: The prevalence of mesioden…
Clinical characterization of gingival type of burning mouth syndrome:a cross-sectional study
2021
Background The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of localized intraoral neuropathic pain in a cluster of patients who reported the involvement of gingival site as only clinical manifestation of dysesthesia, analysing type and distribution of symptoms. Material and Methods Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were screened through laboratory test and a conventional oral examination with periodontal chart. A questionnaire to collect data on symptoms, oral site involved, quality of sleep, anxiety was submitted to all the patients. Results A total of 236 patients were recruited. Seventy-six patients (32.2%) presented generalized type, where…
Prevalence and presentation of hyperdontia in a non-syndromic, mixed Nigerian population
2019
Background Although there have been studies on the prevalence and pattern of hyperdontia in sub-Saharan African subjects with similar cultural backgrounds, based on our search, none have been able to consider these epidemiological parameters in a multiethnic black population, which is expected to add substantial knowledge to what is available. Material and Methods This is a retrospective study on the panoramic radiographs of subjects who presented at two dental centres in Abuja, Nigeria between June 2013 and June 2018. Radiographic interpretations were carried out by three independent observers, trained on computer assisted radiographic image interpretation. Data were collected and analyzed…
Diagnostic and clinical procedures of a patient with oral-facial-digital type II syndrome: a case report
2011
The oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFD) are part of a great number of genetic disorders. They are classified in categories based on characteristic abnormalities, including OFD type I (Papillon-Leage and Psaume syndrome) and OFD type II (Mohr syndrome). The aim of this article is to describe a clinical case of a patient with oral- facial-digital type II syndrome or Mohr syndrome, who underwent surgery for supernumerary teeth removal under endovenous sedation. Moreover, it is intended to discuss the importance of diagnostic and clinical procedures, with proper and concise indications about the limitations of patients with special needs treatment. Due to their clinical and physiological limita…
Optimal application of compressive palatal stents following mesiodens removal in pediatric patients:a Randomized Controlled Trial
2021
Background There is no scientific evidence supporting the choice of a palatal stent in patients who underwent removal of an impacted supernumerary tooth. We aimed to investigate the effects of palatal stents in patients who underwent supernumerary tooth removal through a palatal approach and to suggest the optimal stent thickness and material. Material and Methods We recruited 144 patients who underwent extraction of a supernumerary tooth between the maxillary anterior teeth. Subjects were assigned to a control group (CG) or one of four compressive palatal stent groups (CPSGs) classified by the thickness and material of the thermoplastic acrylic stent used. Palatal gingival swelling and obj…
