  • Non-Syndromic Occurrence of True Generalized Microdontia with Mandibular Mesiodens - a Rare Case Seema D Bargale* and Shital DP Kiran
    Bargale and Kiran Head & Face Medicine 2011, 7:19 http://www.head-face-med.com/content/7/1/19 HEAD & FACE MEDICINE CASEREPORT Open Access Non-syndromic occurrence of true generalized microdontia with mandibular mesiodens - a rare case Seema D Bargale* and Shital DP Kiran Abstract Abnormalities in size of teeth and number of teeth are occasionally recorded in clinical cases. True generalized microdontia is rare case in which all the teeth are smaller than normal. Mesiodens is commonly located in maxilary central incisor region and uncommon in the mandible. In the present case a 12 year-old boy was healthy; normal in appearance and the medical history was noncontributory. The patient was examined and found to have permanent teeth that were smaller than those of the average adult teeth. The true generalized microdontia was accompanied by mandibular mesiodens. This is a unique case report of non-syndromic association of mandibular hyperdontia with true generalized microdontia.

  • Risks and Complications of Orthodontic Miniscrews
    SPECIAL ARTICLE Risks and complications of orthodontic miniscrews Neal D. Kravitza and Budi Kusnotob Chicago, Ill The risks associated with miniscrew placement should be clearly understood by both the clinician and the patient. Complications can arise during miniscrew placement and after orthodontic loading that affect stability and patient safety. A thorough understanding of proper placement technique, bone density and landscape, peri-implant soft- tissue, regional anatomic structures, and patient home care are imperative for optimal patient safety and miniscrew success. The purpose of this article was to review the potential risks and complications of orthodontic miniscrews in regard to insertion, orthodontic loading, peri-implant soft-tissue health, and removal.

IFOMPT developed the framework for safety assessment of the cervical Styloid spine, and this topic has been discussed in-depth with past masterclasses characterizing carotid artery dissection CAD and cervical arterial dysfunction. Our masterclass will expand on this information with knowledge of specific Carotid anatomical anomalies found to produce Eagle’s syndrome, and cause carotid artery dissection, stroke and even Autonomic Manipulation death. Eagle’s syndrome is an underdiagnosed, multi-mechanism symptom assortment produced by provocation of the sensitive carotid space structures by styloid process anomalies. As the styloid traverses between the internal and external carotid arteries, provocation of the vessels and periarterial sympathetic nerve fiberscan lead to various neural, vascular and autonomic symptoms. Eagle’s syndrome commonly presents as neck, facial and jaw pain, headache and arm paresthesias; problems physical therapists frequently evaluate and treat. Purpose: This masterclass aims to outline the safety concerns, assessment and management of patients with Eagle’s syndrome and styloid anomalies.

In this issue: Welcome This issue begins with a review of the latest advances in saliva-related studies in which the potential value of Saliva in the diagnosis of saliva for early diagnosis of oral and systemic diseases is discussed. A meta-analysis of analgesics for pain of disease endodontic origin concludes that NSAIDs are the agents of choice (in the absence of contraindications). Colleagues from Australia have reviewed and provided guidelines for reducing the risks associated with radiation exposure in dental practices. The final issue for 2016 concludes with a report on the use of TCMs (traditional Chinese Treatment failure in medicines) by US-residing Chinese parents and their children for oral conditions. endodontics We hope you have enjoyed Dental and Oral Health Research Review this year, and we look forward to returning in 2017.
