Accidental swallowing of various numbers of teeth has been reported in the literature before. However, total swallowing of removable mandibular prostheses in this size is a very rare emergency. In this study, we reported a case of accidental ingestion of a partially removable mandibular prosthesis and its final passing through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without complication without need for surgical intervention. With this case we also aimed to increase the awareness of health professionals of the potential risk and management of swallowing dentures.

A 5-year-old boy attended our clinic with a chief complaint of facial asymmetry and chewing difficulty. The mandible was deviated to the left. The occlusion also showed a deflection to the left of the mandibular midline. He also had walking difficulty owing to a hip abnormality. Panoramic radiographic examination of the patient revealed that the left mandibular condyl was totally absent. The right condyle was unremarkable. His history revealed neither trauma nor any significant disease. Aplasia is a rare anomaly and means the insufficient development of the mandibular condyle. True agnesis of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare. Association of the manifestations of the patient with some orthopaedic problems makes this case interesting.

A 15-year-old boy consulted the department of radiology because of a swelling on the right side of the submandibular area. Radiological assessment included an ultrasonography and computerized tomography scan of the neck area, which demonstrated intraparenchymal amorph calcification, with approximately 13 mm diameter in the right submandibular gland. General condition and oral intake was good without distress in the patient, and hence he was discharged on the seventh day of follow-up treatment.

The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of TDIs in a group of Turkish subjects. The prevalence of TDIs and the pattern of traumatized teeth were studied in relation to age, gender, cause, location, and type of injury. This study was carried out to include all age groups and teeth. TDIs were recorded using the World Health Organization classification modified by Andreasen et al. The prevalence of TDIs was found to be 4.4% (255 injured patients/5800 presented patients), and the injuries were most commonly observed in the age group of 11-20 years. Males were more affected than females (males, 153; females, 102). The most common cause of traumatic injury was falling (68.2%), and the most common place of trauma was outdoors (56.1%). 4, 7% of patients injured because of their systemic diseases. ...

It is an important dental anomaly due to the possible pulpal involvement. DI can be detected clinically in a tooth presenting unusual crown morphology or having deep foramen coaceum. Also, clinically, non-suspected affected teeth are commonly diagnosed as an incidental radiographic finding. Presence of DI in the mandibular premolar teeth is unusual. Aims is to introduce a case of bilateral occurrence of DI in mandibular first premolar teeth. A 33- year-old man was referred to our clinic with a chief complaint of severe pain in his lower third molar tooth. Radiographic examination revealed bilateral DI (single at the left, double at the right) in mandibular first premolar teeth. The teeth were restored with fissure sealant. Although bilateral appearance of DI is a frequent situation, mandibular occurrence is very rare. Our review of the literature reveals just nine cases of DI, and only one of them is in a premolar tooth.

Rhinoliths can be seen as incidental findings on panoramic radiography, although they typically appear blurred due to remaining outside the focus. Therefore, rhinoliths may be difficult to recognize; this difficulty can lead to misdiagnosis. Computed tomography (CT)/cone beam CT (CBCT) scans are generally necessary to define the precise location and to make a differential diagnosis. This article describes radiologic features of five cases of rhinoliths that were detected incidentally on panoramic radiographs. CT or CBCT images were obtained before removing the rhinoliths.

The narrow maxilla and bilateral cross-bite were treated with rapid palatal expansion. The open bite and irregular teeth were corrected with fixed orthodontic treatment, taking account of the macroglossia. This case is of clinical interest since dental class III malocclusion, posterior open bite, macroglossia and benign migratory glossitis have not previously been reported in achondroplasia.

This study assessed the effectiveness of digital subtraction radiography (DSR) in diagnosing simulated osteophytes and erosions in the TMJ. Five intact, dry human skulls were used to assess the effectiveness of DSR in detecting osteophytes. Four cortical bone chips of varying thicknesses (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm) were placed at the medial, central, and lateral aspects of the condyle anterior surface. Two defects of varying depth (1.0 mm and 1.5 mm) were created on the lateral, central, and medial poles of the condyles of 2 skulls to simulate erosions. Panoramic images of the condyles were acquired before and after artificially creating the changes. Digital subtraction was performed with Emago dental image archiving software. Five observers familiar with the interpretation of TMJ radiographs evaluated the images. Receiver operating c...

Birey ve yöntem: Bu çalışma 2005-2008 yılları arasında Oral Diagnoz ve Radyoloji kliniğine başvuran 30.000 hasta üzerinde yürütüldü. Toplam 56 nonsendromik oligodonti hastası incelendi. Olgular, yaş ve cinsiyet, lokalizasyonları, unilateral ya da bilateral oluşları, sürme durumları, diğer dental anomaliler ile birlikte bulunuşları yönünden değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Oligodonti prevelansının %0,19 olduğu bulundu. Aynı zamanda diş eksikliği prevelansının erkeklere göre kadınlarda iki kat daha fazla olduğu gözlendi. Oligodonti vakalarının her birinde ortalama 9 adet diş eksikliği olduğu belirlendi. En fazla mandibular ikinci premolar diş eksikliğine rastlandı ve bunu maksillar lateral kesici diş ve maksillar ikinci premolar dişin takip ettiği saptandı. Maksillar lateral kesici dişlerin bilateral eksikliği, unilateral eksikliğine göre daha fazlaydı. 6 birey, oligodonti ile birlikte başka bir dental anomaliye daha sahipti. Sonuç: Panoramik radyograflar, oligodontinin teşhisinde çok önemlidir. Diş eksikliği hastalarda estetik, fonksiyonel ve psikolojik problemlere yol açabilmektedir. Tedavi planlamasında, hastanın yaşı, eksik dişlerin sayı ve lokalizasyonları dikkate alınmalıdır.

Microscopically it mimics sarcoma, so accurate diagnosis is important to avoid over treatment. It has been reported at all anatomical sites, but is most common in the upper extremities. We present a rare case of nodular fasciitis of the soft tissues of the cheek.

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial pathologic condition that affects the entire skeleton and is characterized by low bone mass in combination with microarchitectural changes, particularly in cancellous and cortical bone. Osteoporosis is the end result of bone loss. Osteoporosis is the most common type of the metabolic disorders of bone. The condition is characterized by reduced bone mass and increased risk of fracture (fragility). Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals, such as calcium, more quickly than the body can replace them, leading to a loss of bone thickness (bone mass or density). As a result, bones become thinner and less dense so that, eventually, even a minor bump or accident can cause serious fractures. These are known as fragility or minimal trauma fractures. Osteoporosis, which literally means "porous bone," is a disease that reduces the density and quality of bones. As the bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs "silently" and progressively. Often, there are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs. Based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) definition of osteoporosis, Melton (1995) estimated that 30% of postmenopausal white women in the United States have osteoporosis. Asthmatics, other lung patients, or rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with high-dose corticosteroids lose trabecular bone and experience fractures, as do patients with Cushing's syndrome. Other disorders including renal failure and certain types of cancer cause bone loss, along with chronic use of drugs such as anticonvulsants, anticoagulants, excess alcohol, and too much thyroid medication. Young women who experience amenorrhea due to athletic activity, weight loss, stress, nutritional deficiency, bulimia, anorexia nervosa, or those who have early natural or surgical menopause and do not take estrogen replacement therapy lose bone. Not all of the patients in these groups will develop osteoporosis. However, most of them will lose some bone and thus increase their long-term risk for fractures.

The clinical importance of dens invaginatus results from the risk of pulpal disease. So, all clinicians should be aware of this anomaly. The presence of double dens invaginatus is extremely rare. This article presents three cases of double dens invaginatus in permanent maxillary lateral incisors, one with preventive restoration on its palatal surface. They were classified as double dens invaginatus because of two enamel lined invaginations presented in the crowns of these teeth. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:67-70)

In differential diagnosis of the palatal mass, dental causes must be considered because they are so common. The palatal abscess typically represents the palatally directed drainage of an infection of pulpal or periodontal origin. The palatal abscess is often observed in the premolar-molar region and presents as a compressible mass or swelling usually lateral to the midline. This study reports the unusual case of a 5-year-old girl with a palatal abscess adjacent to the midline. (Eur J Dent 2008;2:291-293)

Background: DI is a developmental anomaly resulting from the invagination of a portion of a crown in the enamel organ stage of odontogenesis. It is commonly found in the maxillary lateral incisors but also occurs in the central incisors, premolars, canines, and molars in descending order of frequency. The occurrence of DI in the mandible is extremely rare. Gemination results from one tooth bud attempting to split into two. Geminated teeth present with a single root structure and rarely occur in mandibular teeth. Report: A 13-year-old girl presented with a chief complaint of spontaneous nocturnal pain in the mandibular left lateral incisor tooth. Intraoral examination revealed the tooth was enlarged with a notch on the incisal edge extending to the coronal 1/3 of the crown. The radiological examination revealed a Type 2 DI in a Type I geminated mandibular left lateral incisor. Summary: DI is clinically significant due to the possibility of the pulpal involvement; pulpitis, necrotic pulps, and chronic periapical lesions are often associated with this anomaly without clinical symptoms. Clinicians should be mindful of the possibility of DI when a tooth presents pulpitis without history of trauma or caries and examine the suspicious tooth and the periodontium radiographically.

Clinicians should be mindful of the possibility of DI when a tooth presents pulpitis without history of trauma or caries and examine the suspicious tooth and the periodontium radiographically.
