Abstract: Supernumerary teeth represent a numerical dental anomaly. When present in excess, it is called hyperdontia, which affects both primary and permanent dentition, though permanent dentition is more commonly affected. This clinical case presents hyperdontia involving three supernumerary teeth in the maxillary arch of a non-syndrome 10-year-old child. The diagnosis was made following a consultation prompted by the eruption of a supernumerary tooth with a molar-like shape in the site of the maxillary central incisor and the impaction of this permanent tooth. Subsequently, a radiological examination revealed two additional supernumerary teeth in the premolar region. The treatment plan involved surgical extraction followed by an interceptive phase to guide the eruption of the central incisor. Keywords:Supernumerary tooth, supernumerary teeth, herperdontia, molar-like shape, impaction of central incisor, Hawley appliance.
VisiterAbstract: Background: Psychotropic drugs used to manage mental disorders affect oral health. The mechanism of action of these drugs differs from one therapeutic class to another. Objectives: to determine the side effects of psychotropic drugs on the oral health of pediatric patients with psychiatric disorders, to determine their care needs and to describe mechanismS of action of psychotropic drugs. Methods: Sixty-one children with mental disorders, aged between four and twelve years (48 boys and 13 girls) and who were followed up in Child psychiatry department in Hedi Chaker University Hospital in Sfax, were selected. The control group consisted of 61 healthy children who were matched by age and gender. Each patient received a complete oral examination. The prevalence of caries, decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) index, oral hygiene and care needs were noted. Results: The mean (dmft/DMFT) index of children with mental disorders was 2.13 while that of the contro
VisiterBackground: the wear of a removable partial prosthesis induces a quantitative and qualitative change in the oral microbiota. It influences oral physiology and often creates a new oral ecosystem. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect
VisiterIntroduction: Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and camel-hump condylo-mandibular dysplasia (CMD) are developmental disorders affecting the mandible that share common clinical features. This study aimed to investigate and compare the dental anomalies (
VisiterPurpose: The aim of this systematic review was to determine the factors that influence the proliferation of Candida albicans on the resins used in removable denture. Material and methods: The bibliographic search was carried out on Pubmed. Factors related to Candida Albicans proliferation at the prosthetic surface were extracted from articles obtained by the equation (("Candida"[Mesh]) OR "Candida albicans"[Mesh]) AND "Acrylic Resins"[Mesh])) Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 articles were retained and analyzed. The main factors influencing the proliferation of candida albicans were the composition of the acrylic resin, its surface condition, the use of prosthesis disinfection products and saliva. Conclusion: the proliferation of Candida Albicans was increased when the material is hydrophobic and the surface condition is rough. The use of disinfectants can reduce it as well as special coatings modifying the su
VisiterThe transition from partial to total edentulism is a delicate situation for certain patients that involves the practitioner in the management process. The immediate complete prosthesis is therefore an effective solution capable of removing the constraint of appearing totally edentulous by delivering a prosthesis on the day of extraction of the remaining teeth. A partially edentulous patient consulted us with the typical indication for this immediate prosthesis with four remaining maxillary incisors and a major aesthetic concern. The prosthetic production chain is particular concerning firstly the presence of a bilateral terminal edentulism, the confection of the individual impression tray, the orientation of the anterior occlusion plane while anterior teeth remaining on the arch, the fitting of the prosthetic anterior teeth following the working model rectification as well as the surgical phase on the day of denture insertion. Surgical guide would be very useful when bone regularizatio
