Association of Taurodontism with Hypodontia: a Controlled Study W PEDIATRICDl~NTISTRY/Copyright © "i989 by The AmericanAcademy of Pediatric Dentistry Volume 11, Number3 Association of taurodontism with hypodontia: a controlled study W. Kim Seow, BDS, MDSc, PhD, FRACDS P.Y. Lai, BDSc Abstract Although taurodontism has been reported in many been suggested for both taurodontism (Jorgenson 1982; syndromeswhich also lea t u re hypodontia, there have been no Hamneret al. 1964) as well as hypodontia (Barjian 1960), previous investigations on the prevalence of taurodontismin it is likely that these two traits may be associated. patients with hypodontia. Using a novel biometric methodfor Further support of this concept is the fact that the assessment of taurodontism, we found that 34.8%of 66 taurodontism also may be observed in amelogenesis patients with hypodontia had at least one mandibularfirst imperfecta (Witkop and Sauk 1971), a defect permanent molar which showed taurodontism compared to ectodermal origin. In this study we investigated the only 7.5% of a control group without hypodontia. The trait prevalence of taurodontism in a group of children with may be seen both unilaterally and bilaterally and is most hypodontia compared to a control group. To establish frequently seen in patients with multiple missing teeth. The the diagnosis of taurodontism objectivity, a novel results indicate that clinicians should be alerted to the biometric technique was employed. possibility of taurodontism with its accompanyingclinical difficulties in patients with hypodontia. Materials and methods Introduction Patients with hypodontia Randomscreening of 1032 patient records which had The term taurodontism was first used by Keith in panoramic radiographs from the pediatric dental clinic 1913 to describe the molars of Neanderthal human at the University of Queensland Dental School revealed fossils which "had a tendency for the body of the tooth that 66 patients (6.4%) had agenesis of at least one tooth. to enlarge at the expense of the roots." This trait, which There were 37 males and 29 females, and their mean age is of significance to dental clinicians, is also of interest to at the time of radiography was 11.08 + 2.9 years (range anthropologists in the determination of the evolution of 5-19 years). All the patients were Caucasian and had man (Shaw 1928; Jorgenson 1982). hypodontia as an isolated trait, and did not suffer these Taurodontism has been reported as an isolated trait defects as part of an overall syndrome. in many case reports (Lunt 1954; Album 1958; Mangion 1962; Hamner et al. 1964; Metro 1965; Regattieri and Control patients Llewellyn 1972; Durr et al. 1980; Seowet al. 1985) which For every patient with hypodontia, a control was may have a familial tendency. In addition, selected who matched the study case for both gender taurodontism has been documented as a manifestation and the age at which the panoramic radiograph was of multiple-system malformation syndromes, taken. All control patients were shown to have a full including the tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome permanent dentition from the radiographs.

The mandibular first permanent molar was selected However, although missing teeth may be an as the tooth for analysis for several reasons. First, the associated feature in manyof the cases of taurodontism first molar is considered the most stable tooth of the cited in the literature, there have been no previous series; hence, any change in its morphology may studies investigating the prevalence of taurodontism in indicate a true change of the molar series. In particular, hypodontia in general.

Second, the entire Validation of method outline of this tooth usually is evident clearly on the As panoramic radiographs may be associated with panoramic radiograph in contrast to the maxillary distortions (Pilo 1987; Balis 1981), we compared the molars where the root apices usually are obscured by accuracy of the images of mandibular first permanent the zygomaticbone; hence, lengths of the roots are easily molars on the panoramic radiographs with the images determined.

L. C.I.F. B 96689336 - eISSN: 1989-5488 eMail: [email protected] Abstract Taurodontism can be defined as a change in tooth shape caused by the failure of Hertwig’s epithelial sheath dia- phragm to invaginate at the proper horizontal level. An enlarged pulp chamber, apical displacement of the pulpal floor, and no constriction at the level of the cemento-enamel junction are the characteristic features. Although per- manent molar teeth are most commonly affected, this change can also be seen in both the permanent and deciduous dentition, unilaterally or bilaterally, and in any combination of teeth or quadrants.

Once these protocols were screened, all the possible advantages or disadvantages for each drug and each posology were recorded in this review. In recent years, the need to use these protocols has been debated in the literature. The data obtained by this review underlined how antibiotic protocols applied to oral surgery treatments only included surgeries performed on patients who did not present other systemic pathologies. The first literature review obtained 140 results, and then after the application of the inclusion criteria, 12 papers were selected.
