Teeth Eruption Word
Teeth Eruption Word
2) Eruption sequestrum:
Management:
• The condition is self-limited & treatment is rarely
necessary
• However, surgical uncovering the crown may be
justified. Unless it might delay eruption or if there is a
trauma.
N.B: When the parents discover an eruption hematoma, they
may fear that the child has a serious disease such as a
malignant tumor. The dentist must reassure the parent that
the lesion is not serious.
4) Ectopic eruption:
Definition: Tooth erupt or try to erupt in abnormal position.
Causes:
• Arch length inadequacy.
• Tooth mass redundancy (large tooth and small jaws).
• Abnormal angulations of eruption path.
• Delayed calcification of first permanent molar.
• Or variety of local factors.
Frequently first permanent molar, in instances of otherwise
ideal occlusion may be positioned too far mesially in its
eruption with resultant resorption of distal root of second
primary molar
The permanent tooth may become completely locked & may
cause premature loss of second primary molar or make it
necessary to extract the affected tooth
Complication:
Management:
1. Since a natal tooth is a part of the normal dentition, it
should be retained unless it cause discomfort to mother
(if the baby is breast fed) or if it is so loose that it may
become dislodged & inhaled or the sharp incisal edge
of the tooth causes laceration of the lingual surface of
the tongue.
2. A radiograph should be made to determine the amount
of root development and the relationship of a
prematurely erupted tooth to its adjacent teeth. One of
the parents can hold the x-ray film in the infant's
mouth during the exposure
3. Root growth takes place normally after birth & the
attachment of the tooth improves gradually
5-Epstein pearls, Bohn Nodules & Dental Lamina
cysts
It is Small, white or grayish white lesions on the alveolar
mucosa of the newborn & may on rare occasions be
incorrectly diagnosed as natal teeth. -The lesions are usually
multiple but do not increase in size
No treatment is indicated, since the lesions are
spontaneously shed a few weeks after birth.
1. Epstein pearls are formed along the midpalatine
raphe. They are remnants of epithelial tissue
trapped along the raphe as the fetus grew.
2. Bohn nodules are formed along the buccal and
lingual aspects of the dental ridges and on the palate
away from the raphe. The nodules are remnants of
mucous gland tissue
3. Dental lamina cysts are found on the crest of the
maxillary and mandibular dental ridges. The cysts
originated from remnants of the dental lamina.
Epstein pearls are formed along the
midpalatine raphe.
Ankylosed teeth:
Treatment:
1. The eventual treatment may involve surgical removal
2. However, unless the caries problem is unusual, loss of
arch length is evident or interference with eruption of
premolars is evident, the dentist may choose to keep
the tooth under observation (a watchful waiting
approach).
N.B:
A tooth that is definitely ankylosed may at some future time
undergoes normal root resorption & become normally
exfoliated
Ankylosis of Primary Molars with Absence of Permanent
Successors
• Attempts are made to establish functional occlusion
with stainless steel crowns, overlays, or bonded
composite resins on the affected primary molars.
• This treatment is successful only if maximum eruption
of permanent teeth in the arch has occurred.
• If adjacent teeth are still in a state of active eruption,
they will soon bypass the ankylosed tooth
Ankylosed Permanent Teeth
• The incomplete eruption of a permanent molar may be
related to a small area of root ankylosis.
• The removal of soft tissue and bone covering the
occlusal aspect of the crown is attempted first and the
area is packed with surgical cement to provide a
pathway for the developing permanent tooth.
• If the permanent tooth is exposed in the oral cavity and
at a lower occlusal plane than the adjacent teeth,
ankylosis is the probable cause. – --The luxation
technique is effective in breaking the bony ankylosis. If
the rocking technique is not immediately successful, it
should be repeated in 6 months.
• In the unerupted tooth, enamel is protected by enamel
epithelium. The enamel epithelium may disintegrate as
a result of infection (or trauma), the enamel may
subsequently be resorbed, and bone or coronal
cementum may be deposited in its place. The result is
solid fixation of the tooth in its unerupted position
3) Hypothyroidism
Clinically:
4) Hypopituitarism (dwarfism)
Clinically:
• The pituitary dwarf is a well-proportioned individual
but resembles a child of considerably lower chronologic
age.
• Some degree of cognitive disability often occurs.
• The dentition is essentially normal in size.
• Delayed eruption of dentition is characteristic
• In sever cases, the primary teeth do not undergo
resorption but instead may be retained through the life
of person
• The underlying permanent teeth continue to develop
but do not erupt
• Extraction of primary teeth is not indicated because
eruption of permanent teeth can not be assured.
5) Achondroplastic dwarfism
Etiology: is unknown, but may be an autosomal dominant
disorder
Clinically:
• Growth of extremities is limited due to lack of
calcification in cartilage of long bones
• The head is disproportionately large, though the trunk
is normal in size. The fingers may be of almost equal
length, and the hands are plump.
• Underdeveloped upper face &depressed bridge of the
nose
• Deficient growth in the cranial base.
• The maxilla may be small, with resultant crowding of
the teeth and a tendency for open bite.
• A chronic gingivitis is usually present. However, this
condition may be related to the malocclusion and
crowding of the teeth.
• The development of the dentition was slightly delayed.
•
6) Chondroectodermal dysplasia
7) Gardner syndrome
It is a heritable disorder complex characterized by:
• Multiple osteoma.
• Multiple polyposis of large intestine.
• Multiple epidermoid &sebaceous cysts.
• Impacted teeth & delayed eruption.
8) Rickets
Causes:
Due to lake intake of ricketic food(vit.D,minerals)sunlight.
there is a delayed bone mineralization & teeth eruption
Early exfoliation of teeth
Shedding or Exfoliation:
3) Hypophosphatasia:
The clinical dental findings diagnostic: of the disease in
children is
• Premature exfoliation of primary teeth (either
spontaneously or from slight trauma). There will be an
absence of gingival inflammation
• The loss of alveolar bone limited to anterior region
• Diagnostic test should include the determination of
serum alkaline phosphatase (N 13-17 king Armstrong
units)
4) Pseudohypophosphatasia:
Clinically:
• Seems to be hereditary.
• Resemble hypophosphatasia &
• Results in premature loss of primary teeth.
• However the serum alkaline phosphatase level is
normal
• The patient exhibit Osteopathy of long bone &skull
5) Cyclic neutropenia:
Clinically:
It is characterized by
• Periodic or cyclic diminution in polymorphonuclear
neutrophilic leukocytes
• the conditions spontaneously regress only to recur
subsequently in a in rhythmic pattern
• Children exhibit a sever gingivitis & ulceration with a
return of neutrophil count to normal, the gingiva
assumes a nearly normal clinical appearance
• In children with repeated insults of the infection, there
is a considerable loss of supporting bone around teeth
&this has sometimes been termed prepubertal
periodontitis
6) Acatalasia:
