AI Article Synopsis
- Dentigerous cysts (DC) are lesions that form around the crown of an impacted tooth, and this article discusses various treatment methods for these cysts.
- An adolescent case is presented where the management involved the surgical extraction of the tooth, removal of the cyst, and replanting of the permanent tooth, leading to successful outcomes such as bone healing and tooth eruption without the need for orthodontic intervention.
- Long-term follow-up showed no recurrence of the cyst after 12 months, and the replanted tooth remained vital after 7 years, suggesting that this surgical approach can be an effective option in similar cases.
Article Abstract
Aim: Dentigerous cyst (DC) is a disembriogenetic lesion. The cyst wall encloses the crown of an impacted tooth. Several therapeutic approaches have been mentioned in the literature for management of this lesion. Case Report This article describes the management of an adolescent with a mandibular DC surgically treated with extraction of the tooth, enucleation of the cyst and replantation of the permanent tooth involved. Final outcome shows complete healing of the bone socket with eruption of a vital tooth. No orthodontic traction was required. No recurrence was detected at the radiographic follow-up at 12 months, thus confirming the success of this therapeutic approach. After a 7-year follow-up period the tooth responded positively to the vitality test.
Clinical Implications: In selected cases surgical enucleation of the lesion without loss of involved tooth, might be considered as a viable treatment to obtain healing of the lesion, spontaneous eruption of the tooth and physiological restoration of bone.

Objective Permanent teeth roots undergo resorption under pathologic conditions such as trauma, orthodontic treatment, pulpal infections, periodontitis, and periodontal therapy. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of external root resorption (ERR) in patients with periodontitis as seen in orthopantomography (OPGs). Methodology This single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional radiographic study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022, including 656 orthopantomographs (OPGs) from patients with periodontitis.

Infantile haemangioma (IH) is the most common childhood tumour, often developing in the head and neck region. It may cause disfigurement, functional impairment, or tooth developmental issues when it is present in the oral cavity. We report a case of a 2-month-old boy referred to the paediatric dentistry team with a segmental IH involving the left periorbital, cheek, and hard palate.

Dental impressions, developed for accurate capture of oral characteristics in human clinical settings, are seldom used in research on nonlivestock, nonprimate, and especially nonmammalian vertebrates due to a lack of appropriate tools. Studies of dentitions in most vertebrate species usually require euthanasia and specimen dissection, microCT and other scans with size and resolution tradeoffs, and/or ad-hoc individual impressions or removal of single teeth. These approaches prevent in-vivo studies that factor in growth and other chronological changes and separate teeth from the context of the whole mouth.

Objective: The primary focus of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical effects of high trimline design aligners on the distalization of mandibular molars, employing three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA). The study concentrated on aspects such as tooth movement, stress distribution, and anchorage control.
Methods: Utilizing Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, a detailed 3D geometrical model was constructed for finite element analysis.
Childhood early oral ageing syndrome: prevalence and association with possible aetiological factors and consequences for the vertical dimension of occlusion: protocol for a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Childhood early oral ageing syndrome (CEOAS) is a condition involving oral abnormalities resulting from systemic diseases of different origins that are related to the current lifestyle of the paediatric population. Enamel defects associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors promote the early loss of tooth structure at an accelerated pace, with negative impacts on function, aesthetics and quality of life. The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of early tooth wear in childhood and its severity using the CEOAS index, which is a tool for the diagnosis of the condition and for epidemiological surveys, involving the investigation of abnormalities of the oral cavity in the paediatric population and possible factors associated with the severity of the condition.
