Dental care in an ED setting is not definitive with limited care continuity that ultimately leads to poor oral health outcomes.11,12,13 This process of care measure can be used to assess if the patient had timely follow-up with a dentist for more definitive care.

    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.
