The present study searched for evidence of possible associations between some genetic factors that could affect the development molar–incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). In 113 patients who were surgically treated at an Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery Clinic (ORL) during early childhood, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ2 DQ8 haplotypes single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) eight amelogenesis-related genes in genomic DNA. Genotypes determined by high resolution melting (HRM),...

Background: The percentage is growing worldwide. With ageing, risks various diseases, including dental caries and periodontal disease, are growing. Methods: Altogether 296 people (88 men, 208 women) average age 79.89 ± 7.4 years were questioned about their medical condition practice...

The aims of the study were to identify craniofacial characteristics in patients with rough hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) phenotype and evaluate whether variables are related a mutation either two genes associated AI, enamelin (ENAM) amelogenin (AMGX). Eight children (five males three females) AI phenotype, aged 6.5–15 years, from families their parents (three examined clinically, radiographically, genetically. Seventeen measured on lateral cephalometric radiographs affected (n =...

Background. The prominent dental feature of a boy was severely hypoplastic enamel in both primary and permanent teeth. Case Report. Many teeth were already infected while emerging the oral cavity. Panoramic radiograph showed enlarged elongated pulp chambers (taurodontism) first molars. clinical radiological diagnosis either hypomaturation‐hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with taurodontism (AIHHT) or tricho‐dento‐osseous syndrome (TDO). Histological examination upper right molar revealed...

Abstract Animal teeth are a common model in studies on dentin adhesive materials. The aim of this study was to compare microstructural parameters (density and diameter dentinal tubules (DT), peritubular (PTD) thickness, PTD intertubular (ITD) surface area) chemical characteristics canine, porcine, equine, human root dentin. middle layers were harvested just below cemento-enamel junction from incisors investigated by means scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive X-ray...

Molar-root incisor malformation (MRIM) is a novel dental phenotype likely related to patient's past medical history. This case aimed confirm MRIM by histological and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination for the first time in patient diagnosed with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) propose possible link between ALPS that could be attributable abnormally proliferated bone marrow. A 12.5-year-old boy an extensive history, including diagnosis of ALPS, was examined...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders dental enamel. X-linked AI results from disease-causing variants in the AMELX gene. In this paper, we characterise aetiology and enamel histology female patients two unrelated families with similar clinical radiographic findings. All three probands were carefully selected 40 AI. both families, scanning electron microscopy confirmed hypoplastic hypomineralised A neonatal line separated prenatally postnatally formed...

Periodontal disease is one of common oral manifestations in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). The aim the study was to evaluate effect photodynamic therapy (PDT) on periodontal clinical and microbial parameters a patient FA.For 16-year-old girl, diagnosed having FA disease, protocol treatment duration 10 months designed. Every 2 months, thorough cavity disinfection followed by PDT, using photosensitizer phenothiazine chloride activated diode laser light. During each visit, were evaluated:...

There has been no valid and reliable instrument available to measure the impact of oral health on quality life Slovenian preschool children. The main aim this study was develop evaluate validity reliability first assessing Oral Health-Related Quality Life (OHRQoL) children: ECOHIS-SVN.The ECOHIS-SVN developed using forward-backward translations with participation children aged under six their parents. children's teeth were examined, parents asked complete questionnaires, including...

All children, who were born in 2004 and had undergone surgical treatment for recurrent acute tonsillitis and/or otitis media at the ear, nose throat clinic (ENT) between 2010, called on dental examination blood sampling. Out of 441 invitees, 113 children their parents/legal guardians agreed to participate. The following data from this group subjects are presented: presence clinical signs molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), distribution human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles DQ2 DQ8 eight...

Abstract Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is an inherited tooth disorder with widely varying phenotypes. The aim of this study was to determine the microhardness and microstructure characteristics enamel in AI teeth. phenotypes examined were hypoplastic (pitted smooth form), hypomaturated, hypocalcified. Six patients diagnosed according clinical characteristics. measured on axial cuts teeth acquired from patients. measurements done several sites surface towards dentine-enamel junction using...

Abstract Fissure sealants are effective caries preventive measure. However, a dilemma has been expressed more than once, whether incompletely sealed fissures provides sufficient protection against caries. Dental examinations were performed in 88 children, aged 8 and then 4 years later at 12 years. All first permanent molars (FPMs), as diagnosed the age of 8, divided into three groups: nonsealed, completely sealed. Four incidence changes presence quality fissure sealant analyzed. At mean DMFT...

Abstract Background Oral health is impaired in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), resulting delayed dental development, malocclusion, and radiographic abnormalities. This study investigates the oral manifestations Slovenian XLH patients, focusing on enamel dentin abnormalities a literature review of spontaneous periapical abscesses cases. Objectives To report patients with specific signs symptoms, histological analysis affected teeth, reported cases abscesses. Methods Case reports : Seven from...

Introduction. In children and growing adolescents, ankylotic resorption (i.e., progressive replacement resorption) of a permanent tooth is serious complication. An ankylosed root continuously resorbed replaced with bone; normal growth alveolar bone disturbed infraposition the dental crown progresses. This article aims to present decoronation as very good treatment option for incisors diagnosed in adolescents. Case outline. A 9.5-year-old boy was referred non-vital both upper central due...

Introduction. Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect of dental enamel that affects one to all four first permanent molars (FPM) and frequently incisors. Enamel aberrations are observed as demarcated opacities different colors (from white brown) posteruptive breakdown. Clinically similar pathological signs can also be present in deciduous molars. Case outline. Histology an FPM second molar was performed after extraction from two unrelated patients with MIH due...
