Case Of Regional Odontodysplasia Research Articles

Regional Odontodysplasia: Report of case.

A case of regional odontodysplasia in an 8 year-old male whose chief complaint was the absence of eruption of permanent teeth is presented. The regional odontodysplasia is a rare development anomaly of the dental tissues that affects the primary and permanent dentitions involving several adjacent teeth without crossing the midline. The clinical, radiographic and histological aspects are described as well as the treatment accomplished through surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Regional Odontodysplasia: Report of a case

Regional odontodysplasia is a rare developmental anomaly involving both mesodermal and ectodermal dental components in groups of contigous teeth. RO affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Generally, it is localized in only one arch. The maxillary arch is affected more often than the mandibular arch. The affected teeth tend to be in a consecutive series that does not cross the midline, although some cases do not follow this pattern, as in the present case, have been documented. Radiogaphically wide pulp chambers and thin poorly defined hard tissue outlines described as a "ghost teeth" appearance, are typical features. A case of regional odontodysplasia in a 5 year old male patient is presented. The clinical and radiogaphical findings of this developmental anomaly and treatment are described.

Regional odontodysplasia: Report of two cases

Two cases of regional odontodysplasia in girls are reported; one affected the lower incisors, and the other the left maxilla. The first case was radiographically followed over a 6-year period, during which time the ghost teeth exhibited significant dentin formation, along with a resultant decrease in pulp size and relative normalization of the radicular anatomy. The second case involved the deciduous molars and the first permanent molar. In addition to tooth alterations, both cases exhibited many odontogenic epithelial islands and extensive areas of calcification in the mucosa. Diagnosis, causes, and treatment are discussed in the light of recent data.

Regional odontodysplasia presenting as a soft tissue swelling

An unusual case of regional odontodysplasia in a 13-year-old black girl is presented. Although the affected teeth displayed features characteristic of odontodysplasia, the patient appeared with significant soft tissue swelling of the buccal and palatal maxilla. Treatment consisted of extraction of affected teeth, removal of involved tissue, and histologic examination.

Regional Odontodysplasia: Clinical, Pathologic, and Therapeutic Considerations

A case of regional odontodysplasia in a 9-year-old boy is presented. Clinical and pathologic characteristics of this developmental anomaly and its treatment are reviewed.

Regional odontodysplasia. A review and a report of two cases.

Abstract— Two cases of regional odontodysplasia, one with associated dental infection, are described and previous reports of this rare condition are reviewed. Treatmont of the first case presented involved the surgical removal of the affected teeth and surrounding infected tissue.
