Prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and complications of supernumerary teeth
2014
The aim of this article was to review the literature on supernumerary teeth, analyzing their prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and possible complications. An electronic search was made in the Pubmed-Medline database up to January 2014 using the key search terms "multiple supernumerary teeth" (n=279), "prevalence supernume rary teeth" (n=361), and "supernumerary teeth" (n=2412). In addition to the articles initially identified, others were included in the review proceeding from a manual search and from any references considered of relevance. Supernumerary teeth are those that exceed the normal dental formula. They are more common in men, more common in the upper maxilla, and more pr…

Clinical features and histological description of tongue lesions in a lar ge Northern Italian population
2015
Background: Only few studies on tongue lesions considered sizable populations, and contemporary literature does not provide a valid report regarding the epidemiology of tongue lesions within the Italian population. In this report, the histopathological and clinical appearance of 1.106 tongue lesions from northern Italians are described and discussed. Material and Methods: The case records of patients referred for the diagnosis and management of tongue lesions, from October 1993 to October 2013, were reviewed. Histological data were also obtained and blindly reexamined. Results: For instance, a biopsy performed on a lingual ulcer has a strong predicting association with a carcinoma, whereas …
Management of tooth discoloration in non-vital endodontically treated tooth: a report of 6 year follow-up
2011
Discoloration of teeth, especially the anteriors, can result in considerably cosmetic impairment in young children. It is the pediatric dentist’s responsibility to supervise those children who seek to undergo a whitening treatment to ensure the maximum cosmetic benefit within the boundaries of oral and systematic health. Among bleaching techniques, the walking bleach technique with sodium perborate and distilled water stands out because of its superior esthetic results with no side effects. This paper presents a case of tooth discoloration in non-vital tooth which was successfully bleached using walking bleach method. After 6 year follow up the prognosis was good with no reversal of tooth d…
Fibroma óseo juvenil: a propósito de un caso clínico
2004
Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente de 8 años de edad con un fibroma osificante juvenil en el ángulo mandibular derecho y un quiste radicular en el ángulo mandibular izquierdo, los cuales producían un importante abombamiento a nivel de los ángulos mandibulares e impedían la correcta erupción de los primeros molares inferiores. Tras el estudio clínico y radiológico ( Ortopantomografía y Scan dental del maxilar inferior), se llevó a cabo el correspondiente tratamiento quirúrgico (quistectomía y remodelación de los mismos) y el estudio histopatológico. Aunque el fibroma óseo juvenil es una entidad clínica poco frecuente, debido al comportamiento local agresivo y a la recidiva que tiene,…
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: report of a case documented with clinical,radiographic, biochemical and histological findings
2013
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. This condition has also been classified as gigantiform cementoma, chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, sclerosing osteitis, multiple estenosis and sclerotic cemental masses. It usually exhibits as multiple radiopaque cementum-like masses distributed throughout the jaws. Radiographically, FCOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. Computed tomography, because of its ability to give axial, sagittal, and frontal views, is useful in the evaluation of these lesions. This article reports the case of a …
An observational study of the frequency of supernumerary teeth in a population of 2000 patients
2007
An evaluation is made of the epidemiological characteristics of supernumerary teeth, with an analysis of the associated clinical-eruptive complications. A longitudinal observational study was made of 2000 patients, with the documentation of demographic data, the presence of supernumerary teeth, their location, mechanical accidents and the presence of associated pathology. The presence of supernumerary teeth was recorded in 1.05% of the study subjects (mean age 20.2 years), with a greater frequency in males. The most frequent location was in the upper maxilla (79.2%), fundamentally in the retromolar zone and at premaxillary level. The presence of mechanical accidents was the most frequent co…
Sebaceous adenoma of the parotid gland
2006
Los tumores de las glándulas salivales constituyen un área importante de la patología oral y maxilofacial. La mayor parte de las neoplasias glandulares salivales son benignas, representando las malignas entre el 15 y el 32% del total. La localización más común de estas entidades es la glándula parótida, en la que asientan hasta el 80% de todos los casos. En este artículo se presenta un caso de adenoma sebáceo salival, de localización parotídea. El tumor, formado por células epiteliales que tapizan conductos, exhibe amplias áreas de diferenciación sebácea y zonas con metaplasia oncocítica. El patrón histológico es predominantemente quístico, observándose cavidades rellenas con material sebác…
Temporomandibular juxtaarticular chondroma: case report
2007
Chondromas are benign tumours composed of mature hyaline cartilage. We present here the first case in the English language medical literature of juxtaarticular chondroma of the temporomandibular joint in the parotid region. Within the rarity of cartilage disorders of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ), this particular condition is a diagnostic curiosity. The patient, a 54 year old woman, presented a right preauricular tumour of 3.5 cm. which had been developing for 4 years. It was not painful but there was a recent symptomology of TMJ dysfunction, with pain and clicks. The diagnostic possibilities of a parotid pleomorphic adenoma and of a cartilage tumour of the TMJ suggested a difficult pr…
Third canal in the mesial root of permanent mandibular first molars: Review of the literature and presentation of 3 clinical reports and 2 in vitro s…
2007
Introduction. Systematic anatomical studies corroborate the anatomical complexity of the root canal system. Deviations from the norm such as multiple orifices, apical deltas, accessory canals and other variations are frequent. Objectives. To present clinical reports of mandibular molars with three canals in the mesial root and two in vitro studies of the morphology of these canals, together with a review of the literature. Materials and Methods. Three clinical reports are presented of mandibular molars where three canals in the mesial roots were treated endodontically. Two in vitro studies were performed, one using computerized tomography and the other with scanning electron microscopy, to …
