Rare Case of First Permanent Molar Primary Failure of Eruption with Agenesis of Premolars.

Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare non-syndromic condition involving total or partial non-eruption of posterior teeth in the absence of mechanical obstruction. This paper presents the case of a healthy girl referred at age 4 for asymmetry of the upper arch. Clinical examination confirmed a slight shift of the upper midline to the left, with no erupted teeth distal to the upper left canine and a left posterior open bite.

Behavioral Modifications in Children after Repeated Sedation with Nitrous Oxide for Dental Treatment: A Retrospective Study.

Sedation with nitrous oxide (NO) has been widely used as a viable alternative to general anesthesia to perform dental treatments in uncooperative or anxious children. The purpose of this retrospective study is to assess if repeated sedations with NO can improve collaboration of uncooperative children. The medical records of 650 children, aged between 3 and 14 years, who underwent at least two sedations, were consulted.

Congenitally missing second permanent molars in non-syndromic patients (Review).

Hypodontia (tooth agenesis) is regarded as the most common congenital dental anomaly. The present review discusses the epidemiological characteristics of congenitally missing second permanent molars (CMSPMs) within a systematic review of the literature. The review was based on Pubmed library associated with the search of various scientific databases or academic resources, improved by hand search of reference lists.

Ecological Study on the Oral Health of Romanian Intellectually Challenged Athletes.

This study aimed to give an image of the oral health status and treatment needs of intellectually challenged athletes taking part in Special Olympics-Special Smiles (SO-SS) events organized in Romania during 2011-2019 and to find potential associations with socio-economic factors. An observational ecological retrospective study was conducted, and 1860 oral examinations were performed on participants aged 8 to 30 years in nine SS-SO events. Oral examination was performed under field conditions.

Management of large inflammatory dentigerous cysts adapted to the general condition of the patient: Two case reports.

Dentigerous cysts may be of developmental or inflammatory origin. The latter occur in unerupted permanent teeth as a result of inflammation from a preceding non-vital primary tooth or from another source spreading to involve the tooth follicle. This report presents two clinical cases of children with dentigerous cysts of inflammatory origin.
