Retenção prolongada de dente decíduo por impactação de dente supranumerário em criança de 12 anos / Tooth prolonged retention of deciduous tooth impaction supernumerary in children under 12 years

Dente supranumerário é definido como um distúrbio de desenvolvimento caracterizado pela presença de um ou mais elementos dentários fora do número considerado normal de uma arcada. A ocorrência dos supranumerários pode ocasionar uma variedade de complicações, como por exemplo, apinhamento de dentes permanentes, erupção retardada e/ou ectópica, rotação dentária, formação de diastema, desenvolvimento de lesões císticas, reabsorção de dentes adjacentes. Na maioria das vezes o diagnóstico da presença desse elemento é realizado por exame clínico e radiográfico de rotina. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico de retenção prolongada de um dente decíduo e erupção retardada de um dente permanente em decorrência da presença de um elemento supranumerário diagnosticado apenas aos 12 anos de idade. Após a identificação do elemento supranumerário e análise de exames radiográficos complementares,foi realizada cirurgia para remoção dos elementos decíduo e supranumerário, bem como acompanhamento por três meses do processo eruptivo do elemento impactado,um segundo pré-molar inferior direito o qual se posicionou favoravelmente na arcada dentária. Concluiu-se que a detecção em momento oportuno e a remoção de elementos supranumerários, também respeitadas à necessidade e oportunidade cirúrgica, são importantes para evitar danos futuros à oclusão dos pacientes, devendo-se dar importância ao acompanhamento e evolução clínica do caso.

Supernumerary teeth is defined as a developmental disorder characterized by the presence of one or more dental elements out of a number considered normal arch. The occurrence of supernumerary can cause a variety of complications, such as crowding of the permanent teeth,delayed and / or ectopically erupting, tooth rotation, diastema training, development of cysticlesions, resorption of adjacent teeth. In most cases the diagnosis of the presence of this elementis made by clinical examination and routine radiographic. The aim of this study was to reporta case of prolonged retention of a primary tooth eruption and delayed a permanent tooth dueto the presence of a supernumerary element diagnosed only 12 years old. After identifying the supernumerary element and analysis of complementary radiographs, it was carried out surgeryto remove the elements deciduous and supernumerary and monitoring for 3 months of the eruptive process impacted element, a premolar law that favorably-positioned in the dental arch.It was concluded that the timely detection and removal of supernumerary elements also respected the need and surgical opportunity, are important to prevent future damage to the occlusion of patients, should be given importance to the monitoring and clinical outcome.

Multiple unerupted impacted supernumerary teeth: a rare case report of father and son / Múltiples dientes supernumerarios impactados no erupcionados: presentación de un caso raro de padre e hijo

Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth without any associated systemic conditions or syndromes are rare. The prevalence rate of supernumerary teeth in the permanent dentition is between 0.1– 6.9 percent as compared to 0.3–0.6 percent in theprimary dentition. In this article, reporting a rare family history of non-syndromic multiple impacted supernumerary teeth,found incidentally during routine radiographic examination. Though the etiologic factor of multiple impacted supernumerary teeth are still not clearly known especially in cases without any syndrome. However, thorough evaluation is necessary toexclude associated systemic conditions.

Son raros los casos de sujetos con múltiples dientes supernumerarios impactados sin ningún tipo de afectación sistémica o síndrome. La tasa de prevalencia de dientes supernumerarios en la dentición permanente varía entre 0,1­6,9 % en comparación con el 0,3­0,6 % en la dentición primaria. En este artículo, se reporta una historia familiar rara de múltiples dientes supernumerarios impactados no sindrómicos, encontrados incidentalmente durante un examen radiográfico de rutina. El factor etiológico de dientes múltiples supernumerarios impactados aún no está claro, especialmente en los casos sin ningún tipo de síndrome. Sin embargo, es necesaria una evaluación a fondo para descartar enfermedades sistémicas asociadas.

Estudio genético de una familia chilena con tres fenotipos dentales diferentes / Genetic studies of a Chilean family with three different dental anomalies

Background: Congenital dental anomalies can affect up to 25 percent of the population. Aim: To report the genetic study of a family with dental anomalies. Material and methods: We studied a Chilean family presenting with three independent dental phenotypes: third molar agenesis, supernumerary teeth, and dentinal dysplasia type I. We searched for mutations in candidate genes proposed for tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth: IRF6, FGFR1, MSX1, MSX2, PAX9, PRDM16 and TGFA. We also studied DSPP as a candidate gene for dentinal dysplasia type I. Results: We did not find mutations in FGFR1, MSX2, PAX9, PRDM16, or TGFA. We found a MSX1 mutation (G16D) in both affected and unaffected family members. Also, we found a genetic variation not described before in IRF6 in the dentinal dysplasia type I case. Conclusions: Further investigation is necessary to evaluate if these variants are functional in nature. Finally, we are reporting a mutation in DSPP in an asymptomatic 2-year-old child, which illustrates the ethical pitfalls of interpreting molecular data for genetic counseling of young and/or asymtomatic individuals.

Familial occurence of mesiodens--a case report.

Molariform supernumerary teeth in the maxillary central incisor area are uncommon. This article reports the presence of a molariform mesiodens in daughter and a conical mesiodens in father. Detailed investigation into family history of patients with mesiodens is needed. Though the etiology of this dental anomaly remains unclear, genetics as a key factor in the development of supernumerary teeth is highlighted.
