Unusual Case Report

This case report showed an AOT in a 12-year-old female patient referred for orthodontic-surgical of both impacted right mandibular canine and lateral incisor. Cone beam computed tomography revealed a well-defined mixed hyperdense/hypodense lesion, involving the crown of the mandibular lateral incisor. The surgery consisted in surgical exposure of the mandibular right canine and lateral incisor, bonding of the lateral incisor for orthodontic traction and curettage of the mandibular lesion. Histopathological examination revealed several columnar epithelial cells with minimal stromal connective tissue, lobular pattern and rosettes and duct-like structures, confirming the diagnosis of AOT. After, the patient was referred for orthodontic traction of the impacted teeth. At 1 and 3-year postoperatively, follow-ups examinations showed extensive bone repair, resolution of the tooth-retention and absence of recurrence. Although AOT is an uncommon lesion in the mandible, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the mixed profile lesions in this region.

Abstract The clinical management of mobile teeth can be a perplexing problem, especially if the underlying causes for that mobility have not been properly diagnosed. In some cases, mobile teeth are retained because patients decline multidisciplinary treatment that might otherwise include strategic extractions. This article discusses the relationship between occlusion and tooth mobility with an emphasis on identifying differences between increased mobility and increasing mobility. The indications, contraindications, and basic principles of tooth splinting are also reviewed. Provisional and definitive splints are defined and described with their respective occlusal considerations. Some mobile teeth can be treated through occlusal equilibration alone (primary occlusal trauma). Whereas mobile teeth with a compromised periodontium can be stabilized with the aid of provisional and/or definitive splinting (secondary occlusal trauma). It is important to consider splint therapy, because it may not only improve the prognosis of teeth, but may actually enhance the stability of the final prosthodontic treatment. The ultimate goal of successful management of mobile teeth is to restore function and comfort by establishing a stable occlusion that promotes tooth retention and the maintenance of periodontal health.

Tooth Retention

The effect of neighborhood on health may vary according to the characteristics of the residents. We tested the hypothesis that, in affluent neighborhoods, low-income adults retain more teeth than their income-equivalent peers in poor neighborhoods. In 2003, the Adelaide Small Area Dental Study collected sociodemographic and tooth retention information from 2860 adults in 60 neighborhoods. Neighborhood socio-economic position was a census-based composite measure. Using multilevel modelling, we fitted a series of two-level random intercept variance component models. Findings revealed significant main effects for individual and neighborhood predictors and a significant interaction between neighborhood disadvantage and low income. In affluent areas, disparities in tooth retention were negligible, but in poor neighborhoods, substantial variation in tooth retention between individuals was found based on their level of income. Low-income adults appeared to benefit from living in affluent areas, while wealthier adults living in poor neighborhoods did not lose their oral health advantage.

Tooth Retention

Increased life expectancy is causing an explosion of the ageing population that will continue for the foreseeable future. Improved quality of life at old age will demand tooth retention and, consequently, the need for appropriate restorative care. Retaining teeth and maintaining them in spite of the multitude of risk factors associated with old age is a multifaceted challenge. The dental profession must be ever sensitive to the special needs of the elderly patient in order to render a service that is sensitive and caring. As the healthcare system as a whole adjusts to the changing demographics of the UK population, it is essential that dental professions effectively manage caries across the generations.

Tooth Retention

According to the literature, such dentition anomaly as supernumerary teeth is more common in the practice of a dentist than of an otorhinolaryngologist. Clinical manifestations of this pathology in adults are less frequent than in children. Periodically, there appear descriptions of individual cases of hyperdentia, in which the tooth is located in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, orbit. It is not always possible to find such a tooth on examination, therefore, additional research methods help to determine the location and pathological process in more detail. We present our clinical observation of tooth retention and ectopia in the nasal cavity and upper jaw. The diagnosis was confirmed by the data of endoscopic examination and computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses. The ectopic tooth was found before the development of pronounced local inflammation. The tooth was removed from the nasal cavity using endoscopic techniques, no communication between the nasal cavity and the oral cavity was found. The postoperative period was uneventful. On examination two weeks after the operation, no pathological changes in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses were found, as well as defects in the mucous membrane and bone part of the nasal cavity floor.

Abstract Background This study aimed to examine the association between oral health behaviors and tooth retention among Chinese older adults. Methods Data were used from the 4th Chinese National Oral Health Survey, a nationally representative sample. The sample included 9054 older adults aged 55 to 74. A chi-square test was used for univariate analysis. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to explore the association between health behaviors and the number of remaining teeth. Results The average number of remaining teeth in the sample was 24.4 ± 7.8. There was a higher proportion of residents living in urban areas with ≥ 20 teeth than rural residents (83.2% vs 79.4%, χ2 = 20.862, p = 0.000); and a higher proportion of individuals with high education levels with ≥ 20 teeth compared to those with low education levels (χ2 = 148.168, P = 0.000). Logistic regression models showed that older adults who used toothpicks (OR = 3.37, 95% CI: 2.94–3.85), dental floss (OR = 1.93, 95%CI: 1.05–3.53), toothpaste (OR = 3.89, 95%CI: 3.14–4.83); and never smoked (OR = 1.43 95%CI: 1.20–1.70) were more likely to retain 20 or more natural teeth; whereas older adults who had a dental visit were less likely to retain 20 or more natural teeth (OR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.39-052). Conclusion This study did not find the association between frequency of tooth brushing and tooth retention. This study demonstrates that improvement of oral hygiene and preventive dental care are key for good oral health.
