A combination of skeletal deformations of the dorsal mandible and temporomandibular region detected in orthopantomograms of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 indicates an associated ipsilateral plexiform neurofibroma.

Purpose: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a tumour suppressor syndrome and also a bone disease. In the craniofacial region, local skeletal deformities have been recorded in patients with NF1. Obvious syndrome-related alterations of the jaws are particularly conspicuous in the mandible.

Decayed, missing, and restored teeth in patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Background: NF1 is a relatively frequently occurring autosomal dominant inherited disease. There are conflicting reports about oral health status in NF1. The aim of this study was to analyze the dental status of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Periapical Cemento-osseous Dysplasia Is Rarely Diagnosed on Orthopantomograms of Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Is Not a Gender-specific Feature of the Disease.

Unlabelled: Several skeletal aberrations of the skull have been described for the tumor predisposition syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Recently, periapical cemental/cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) has been described in females affected with NF1. This reactive lesion of the hard tissues in tooth-bearing areas of the jaw has been proposed to represent a gender-specific radiological feature of NF1.

Supernumerary Molars and Wisdom Tooth Shape Alterations in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was the systematic investigation of numerical and morphological aberrations of teeth in the wisdom teeth region in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients.

Material And Methods: The panoramic radiographs of 179 patients were analysed for supernumerary molars and dysplastic wisdom teeth with special reference to facial tumour type. The results were compared to radiographic findings obtained in panoramic radiographs of age- and sex-matched controls.

Can we measure patients' perception during dental impressions? The Burdens in Dental Impression-Making Questionnaire - BiDIM-Q.

Purpose: To develop a reliable and valid instrument for the comprehensive assessment of patients' burdens during dental impression making, the Burdens in Dental Impression Making Questionnaire, BiDIM-Q.

Materials: The item pool was generated in a convenience sample of 20 prosthodontic patients using semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The final instrument was tested in 145 consecutively recruited patients, and psychometric properties of the BiDIM-Q were determined.
