This book would not have seen the light of the day if it were not for them. Knowledge of the pathogenesis of diseases affecting the oral cavity is of great help in understanding its clinical features, radiographic features, histological features as well as the finalization of treatment for those diseases. This knowledge became the reason to compile this book that explains the various pathophysiological causes of the diseases. Some of the diseases are still being explained by their old pathogenesis; however, some others are being attributed to some new causes, following the advent of new and innovative technologies. This book is a sincere attempt to simplify the subject of Oral Pathology by elaborating upon the underlying causes of the various diseases. Apart from students, the author owes her gratitude to Dr. HM Dholakia, who made the subject of Oral Pathology sound so simple; Dr. Alka Kale, whose boundless energy and dynamic personality is an inspiration; Dr. Ramakant Nayak, who harps on the importance of constant updation of knowledge that is required for one to better the subject of Oral Pathology and to the management, principals, and staffs of a large number of dental colleges in India where the idea of the book was concieved. The constant encouragement and support received is the motivation for the author to compose this book. viii Finally, the author says a million thanks to her family—especially her parents and daughters—who ungrudgingly bore with her lack of time for them and finally a special thanks to her ever-encouraging husband, without whose help this book would not have seen the light of the day. The author would also like to thank the God Almighty who gave her the strength to achieve her dream of authoring this book. Dr PC Anila Namboodiripad, BDS, MDS, Professor, Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Section 1: Developmental Anomalies of Oral Tissues Chapter 1 Developmental Anomalies Affecting Number of Teeth Introduction Development of Teeth Parallel to the lip edge in the late embryonic period (44 days), there is the formation of the epithelial lamella or the primary epithelial band which plays a role in the development of the teeth. This epithelial lamella divides into two parts, one to form the vestibule and the other to give rise to the teeth. The oral vestibule forms on the labial side, by furrowing of the labio-dental lamina, a ridge formed from the epithelial lamella. The furrow is called as the labio- dental sulcus which later forms the oral vestibule. The labio-dental lamina oriented towards the oral cavity gives rise to the dental lamina, which is a U- shaped or horseshoe shaped band from which the teeth arises. The neural crest cells in the form of the ectomesenchyme, and the oral ectoderm interact with each other to give rise to the 10 roundish teeth buds in the upper and lower arches and they represent the primordium of the deciduous teeth. Lingual to these roundish swellings, other swellings form, and they are the anlagen of the permanent teeth. The roundish buds give rise to the bud stage of tooth formation. The buds go through the cap, early bell and advanced bell stages to finally form the enamel organ that forms enamel, the dental papilla, that is enclosed within the invaginated portion of the cap, forming dentin and the pulp, and the dental sac 4 P. C. Anila Namboodiripad and E. Anuradha Sunil which is made up of ectomesenchymal cells derived from the neural crest cells, surrounding the enamel organ, giving rise to the alveolar bone, cementum and the periodontal ligament. Downward extension of the enamel organ determines the morphology of the root. The epithelium that forms the root is the Epithelial root sheath of Hertwig which fragments, and disintegrates, to help in the formation of the outer covering of the root called as the cementum and the formation of root pulp called as the ‘ root canal ‘and the root dentin. Initiation Proliferation Morpho Apposition Eruption Attrition differen- tiation Figure 1. Developmental stages in tooth and root formation. Anodontia Introduction When the follicles that needed to grow teeth are completely or partially absent, it results in a condition called as anodontia or oligodontia. This is a congenital abnormality affecting the number of the teeth (normal number of adult teeth- 32, deciduous teeth-20). When all teeth have been extracted either due to caries or pathology, the condition is called as pseudoanodotia.

  • THE YOUNG and the OLD: NORMAL and VARIATIONS from NORMAL Judy Rochette DVM, FAVD, Dipl AVDC
    THE YOUNG AND THE OLD: NORMAL AND VARIATIONS FROM NORMAL Judy Rochette DVM, FAVD, Dipl AVDC The majority of notable findings in the oral cavity of the young pet are related to its formation and development, as well as the development and eruption of teeth, whereas senior pet variations reflect the gradual aging of the dental hard tissues and their supporting structures. The head, face, and oral cavity are some of the first structures to manifest in the developing embryo. The upper face forms from the neural tube while the lower face forms from branchial arches. The oral mucosa and upper alimentary tract form from the ectodermal layers. The mesenchymal layer provides the cells which will become subcutaneous tissues and the bone and supporting apparatus for the teeth. The teeth themselves are both ectodermal and mesodermal in origin. Any phenotypic variation from the "wild type" of head, or any genetic anomaly which affects the ectoderm or mesodermal tissues will likely have an effect on the oral cavity. Some of these anomalies have been intentionally introduced to create new "breeds". BRACHYCEPHALIC SYNDROME Brachycephalic syndrome is a set of dysfunctional anatomical airway variations familiar to veterinarians who deal with Bulldogs, Pugs and Boston Terriers but this syndrome is also a problem in Persian, Himalayan and Burmese cats. Stenotic nares, an elongated soft palate, hypoplastic trachea and everted laryngeal saccules can all inhibit respiration. Mouth breathing, stertor, exercise intolerance and collapse after exercise can be seen. Early surgical intervention to open the nares and shorten the palate will often arrest the development of everted saccules, lower respiratory tract inflammation and cardiac stress.

  • What the General Dental Practitioner Should Know About Cone Beam Com- Puted Tomograph Technology
    What the general dental practitioner should know about cone beam com- puted tomograph technology Magdalena Marinescu Gava1 1 D.D.S. Pirkanmaa Hospital District, Regional Imaging Centre, Tampere, Finland. Abstract Ionising radiation is used in health care for the diagnosis of diseases, for prevention (such as screening for breast can- cer) and for treatment (radiotherapy). The aim of radiation protection is to ensure that radiation is used safely and that exposure of the patient is kept to a minimum. The principles of radiation protection are based on the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). To be acceptable, the use of ionising radiation must be justified, optimal, and limited. Dental radiography has been used since the beginning of radiology and now accounts for nearly one-third of the total number of radiological examinations in the European Union. Pantomography is widely used because in one exposure it records the jaws, temporomandibular joints, maxillary sinuses, and dentition. However, when this technique is used, superimposition of structures in the dentomaxillofacial area has been a limitation in mak- ing reliable diagnoses due to the complexity of the anatomy in this region. These shortcomings have led to development of three-dimensional techniques. One of these techniques, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), is now available for use in everyday general practice. The aim of this paper is to present CBCT’s advantages and limitations when com- pared with alternative imaging techniques and to stress how it may be used safely in general dental practice. Key Words: Medical Subjects, Radiation Protection, Dentistry, Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Introduction the complicated human anatomy.

The museum specimens were acquired between 1932 and 2014. Forty-five specimens (59.2%) were from male animals, 29 (38.2%) from female animals and two (2.6%) from animals of unknown sex, with 58 adults (76.3%) and 18 young adults (23.7%) included in this study. The number of teeth available for examination was 830 (33.6%); 18.5% of teeth were absent artefactually, 3.3% were deemed to be absent due to acquired tooth loss and 44.5% were absent congenitally. The theoretical complete dental formula was confirmed to be I 3/3, C 1/1, P 4/3, M 2/2, while the most probable dental formula is I 1/0, C 1/1, P 3/3, M 0/0; none of the specimens in this study possessed a full complement of theoretically possible teeth.
