The aim of this article was to review the literature and present a case of regional odontodysplasia (ROD) with special emphasis on clinical and radiographic features. A 6-year-old girl was referred to our department with the chief complaint of missing her permanent maxillary left central incisor, lateral incisor, and both of her canines. The gingiva of the involved region was enlarged, fibrous, and tense. Radiographic examination showed abnormal tooth formation and shortened roots. After 3 years of follow up with temporary prosthetic rehabilitation, periodontal surgery was performed. Following forced eruption and levelling, abnormal tooth eruption and root development were observed. ProRoot MTA (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) was used for root canal treatment. Intracanal fiber posts selected and access cavities were restored with composite resin. Prosthetic rehabilitation was completed with zirconia ceramic crowns. The time of diagnosis, characteristics of the present/existing symptoms, and functional and esthetic needs of the patient should be considered to determine the optimal treatment modality for ROD.

Department of Oral Surgery and Pathology, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Introduction: Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia (SOD) is a non-hereditary, unilateral developmental anomaly recently included in the WHO's classification of head and neck tumors.

Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with unilateral maxillary enlargement and pain without facial asymmetry. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense area in the maxillary bone with altered bone structure and osseous expansion.

Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia: Systematic Review.

Head Neck Pathol

October 2024

Oral Radiology Division, Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic, Campinas, SP, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review, guided by PRISMA and registered with PROSPERO, aimed to summarize current knowledge on segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD), including its characteristics and treatment options.
  • A total of 35 studies with 60 SOD cases were analyzed, showing a mean patient age of 12 years; males were more affected, and typical features included facial asymmetry, swelling, and various oral alterations.
  • The review found limited treatment options reported in the studies, highlighting a scarcity of evidence on effective management strategies for SOD.

Odontodysplasia is an uncommon dental developmental disorder associated with enamel, dentin, pulp abnormalities, and overall tooth morphology. The affected tooth is grossly abnormal in size and contour and is commonly associated with swelling of the affected area and failure of eruption. Histologically, the enamel and dentin are hypoplastic and hypomineralized.

Abnormal dental follicle cells: A crucial determinant in tooth eruption disorders (Review).

Mol Med Rep

Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases of Zhejiang Province, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Research of Zhejiang Province, Cancer Center of Zhejiang University, Stomatology Hospital, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310006, P.R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • The dental follicle (DF) is crucial for tooth eruption, as it regulates bone remodeling by influencing osteoblast and osteoclast activity through complex signaling pathways.
  • Disruption of specific signaling pathways, such as the PTHrP-PTHrP receptor pathway, can impede osteoclast differentiation, which leads to issues with tooth eruption, alongside genetic mutations that affect DF function.
  • Various genetic disorders, like Cleidocranial dysplasia and osteosclerosis, disrupt DF processes and are linked to abnormal tooth eruption, highlighting the need for more research on this topic.

PHACES syndrome is an acronym for the syndromic presentation of Posterior fossa malformation, Hemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of aorta/cardiac defects, Eye abnormalities and Sternal malformations. Infantile hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infancy. Regional odontodysplasia, commonly referred to as "ghost teeth", is a rare localized developmental malformation of enamel and dentin with varying levels of severity that results in unusual clinical and radiographic appearances of affected teeth.
