Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor Associated with an Impacted Maxillary Lateral Incisor: A Case Report with Five-Year Follow-Up.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT), a benign (hamartomatous) lesion of odontogenic origin, is an uncommon tumor which affects mainly females in the second decade. This lesion is most commonly associated with an impacted maxillary canine. This paper reported a case of AOT, in a 16-year-old female, associated with an impacted maxillary left lateral incisor. The evolution of this tumor was followed over 36 months and 24 months after excision.

Oral and craniofacial clinical signs associated to genetic conditions in human identification part I: a review.

BACKGROUND: Forensic dentistry is one of the most reliable methods used in human identification when other technique as fingerprint, DNA, visual identification cannot be used. Genetic disorders have several manifestations that can target the intra-oral cavity, the cranio-facial area or any location in the human body. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search of the scientific database (Medline and Science Direct) for the years 1990 to 2014 was carried out to find out all the available papers that indicate oral, cranio-facial signs, genetic and human identification. RESULTS: A table with 10 genetic conditions was described with oral and cranio-facial signs that can help forensic specialist in human identification. CONCLUSION: This review showed a correlation between genetics, facial and intra-oral signs that would help forensic ondontologist in the identification procedures.
