Study Notes
Developmental Disturbances of Teeth: Classification
-
Number Abnormalities (defective initiation): Variations in the number of teeth, either fewer (hypodontia/anodontia) or more (hyperdontia).
-
Hypodontia/Anodontia: Absence of one or more teeth
- Can be total (absence of all teeth) or partial (absence of some teeth)
- Often associated with hereditary ectodermal dysplasias. Can also occur in isolation.
- True anodontia = Teeth fail to develop
- Pseudoanodontia = Teeth develop but fail to erupt (embedded or impacted).
- False anodontia = Occurs as the result of tooth loss.
- Total absence of all teeth is exceedingly rare.
- It usually occurs in association with hereditary ectodermal dysplasia ("Streeter's Syndrome").
- May be associated with cleft palate.
- May result from radiation therapy during tooth formation.
-
Hyperdontia: Presence of more teeth than normal
- Includes pre-deciduous, post-permanent, and supernumerary teeth
- Associated with cleft palate, radiation treatment, familial incidence
-
Hypodontia/Anodontia: Absence of one or more teeth
-
Size Abnormalities (defective proliferation): Variations in tooth size.
-
Microdontia: Teeth smaller than normal. Localized or generalized; may affect tooth size relatively in relation to other structures (relative microdontia). Common affected teeth include maxillary lateral incisors and third molars.
- May be generalized (all teeth are smaller than normal) or localized (a single or group of teeth is smaller)
- Normal-sized teeth can appear small in large jaws (relatively generalized).
-
Macrodontia: Teeth larger than normal. Localized or generalized; may affect tooth size relatively in relation to other structures (relative macrodontia). Common affected teeth include maxillary central incisors, canines and third molars.
- May be generalized (all teeth are larger than normal) or localized (a single or group of teeth is larger).
-
Microdontia: Teeth smaller than normal. Localized or generalized; may affect tooth size relatively in relation to other structures (relative microdontia). Common affected teeth include maxillary lateral incisors and third molars.
-
Shape Abnormalities (morpho-differentiation): Variations in tooth shape.
-
Gemination: A single tooth germ divides into two or more, resulting in multiple crowns
- May be completely or incompletely separated crowns.
-
Fusion: Two or more adjacent tooth germs fuse to form one tooth
- Fusion may be complete or incomplete, affecting either the crowns or roots or both.
- May be related to trauma, heredity, or crowding.
-
Concrescence: Fusion of tooth roots after crown formation is complete.
- Roots fused together but with separate crowns
-
Dilaceration: A sharp bend or curve in the tooth's long axis
- Caused by trauma during root development.
- Talon Cusp: An extra cusp resembling an eagle's talon. (Usually on mandibular incisors)
- Taurodontism: Elongated tooth with the pulp chamber extending towards the apex.
-
Dens Invaginatus: A portion of the enamel invaginates into the crown's pulp. (Dens in dente)
- Involves enamel invaginating into the tooth's crown.
-
Enamel pearl: A small, spherical enamel projection on a tooth's root. Usually found on maxillary molars.
- Small, spherical protrusion of enamel located on tooth root near the bifurcation.
-
Gemination: A single tooth germ divides into two or more, resulting in multiple crowns
-
Structure Abnormalities (defective apposition and calcification): Variations in the tooth structure.
-
Defects of enamel: Disorders in enamel formation.
- Hereditary: (eg., amelogenesis imperfecta)
- Acquired (from local or systemic factors, eg. trauma, infection, or nutritional deficiencies)
-
Defects of dentin: Disorders in dentin formation.
- Dentinogenesis imperfecta
-
Defects of enamel and dentin: Combined defects.
- Regional odontodysplasia
- Enamel hypoplasia/Hypocalcification (permanent teeth, except for cases of endemic fluorosis)
-
Defects of enamel: Disorders in enamel formation.
Tooth Eruption Abnormalities (defective eruption):
- Premature eruption: Teeth erupt earlier than normal
- Delayed eruption: Teeth erupt later than normal
- Embedded/Impacted teeth: Teeth remain trapped within the jawbone
- Submerged teeth: Teeth erupt but are covered by the gum
Additional Teeth:
- Predeciduous
- Post-permanent
- Supernumerary
Supplemental Teeth:
- Occur before the permanent teeth
- Small in size
- Usually in the mandibular incisor area
- May be seen before the formation of the enamel organ
Other Abnormal Tooth Types:
- Cleidocranial Dysplasia: Rare hereditary condition, characterized by skeletal abnormalities such as delayed or missing bone development and failure to close the skull sutures.
- Total Anodontia: Complete absence of all teeth
- Partial Anodontia: Absence of some teeth
- Additional classification of additional teeth includes Predeciduous teeth, Post-permanent dentition and Supernumerary teeth
- Cleidocranial dysostosis: Genetic condition characterized by delayed or missing bone development, including in the skull and collarbone (clavicle). Delayed tooth development is one manifestation, not the defining one.
- Anodontia: Total anodontia is rare and often accompanies ectodermal dysplasia
- Congenital syphilis (Prenatal syphilis): Infection of the fetus during pregnancy that can affect tooth development in children.
Oral Manifestations
- Some of the common oral manifestations include abnormal, cone-shaped or retarded teeth in eruption; high or cleft palate; underdevelopment of salivary glands; and deficiencies in alveolar process height.
Tooth Size Abnormalities (Microdontia/Macrodontia)
- Microdontia: All/Localized, Generalized/Relative. Common affected teeth include maxillary lateral incisors and third molars, affects one single tooth (eg., peg lateral incisors). May be due to hereditary/systemic factors.
- Macrodontia: All/Localized, Generalized/Relative. Common affected teeth include maxillary central incisors, canines and third molars. May also affect multiple teeth or just one tooth. May be due to hereditary/systemic factors.
