Lec. 8 3 Intra-oral radiographic technique By Enas Muhammad  Radiographic Appearance of Dental Anomalies There are many developmental anomalies that can affect the teeth and facial skeleton. The diagnosis of these variations based on both the clinical and radiographic findings. Classification of developmental anomalies Anomalies of the teeth: These include abnormalities of the teeth in: Anomalies of the teeth Skeletal anomalies. Number Structure Size Shape Position. Abnormalities in number: Hypodontia It’s a condition at which the patient has missing teeth as a result of their failure to develop. It could happen in Ectodermal Dysplasia [lack of hair, sweat glands, and teeth (partial anodontia)]. Abnormalities in number: Hyperdontia It’s a condition of having supernumerary teeth, or teeth which appear in addition to the regular number of teeth. When classified by position, a supernumerary tooth may be referred to as a mesiodens, a paramolar, or distomolar. The most common supernumerary tooth is a mesiodens, which is a mal-formed, peglike tooth that occurs between the maxillary central incisors Fourth and fifth molars that form behind the third molars are another kind of supernumerary teeth. It could be associated with Cleidocranial Dysplasia (an inherited disorder involving the cranium, face, clavicles and supernumerary teeth).  Abnormalities in structure: The Abnormalities in teeth structures are subdivided into: 1- Genetic defect: Amelogenesis imperfect Genetic disturbances in enamel formation leading to altered morphology of enamel. There is normal dentin and pulp formation  Abnormalities in structure: The Abnormalities in teeth structures are subdivided into: 1- Genetic defect: Dentinogenesis imperfecta In dentinogenesis imperfect there is pulp obliteration and short blunt roots.  Abnormalities in structure: The Abnormalities in teeth structures are subdivided into: 1- Genetic defect: Odontodysplasia ( ghost teeth) A marked decrease in radiodensity, very thin enamel and dentin with large pulp chamber.  Abnormalities in structure: The Abnormalities in teeth structures are subdivided into: 2- Acquired defects: Turner hypoplasia It’s a frequent pattern of enamel defects seen in permanent teeth secondary to periapical inflammatory disease of the overlying deciduous tooth. The altered tooth is called (Turner’s tooth).  Abnormalities in structure: The Abnormalities in teeth structures are subdivided into: 2- Acquired defects: Congenital syphilis It’s a dental hypoplasia that results from direct infection of the developing tooth by spirochete of syphilis, involves the permanent incisors that called (Hutchinson's teeth) and first molars that called (mulberry molars).  Abnormalities in size: Macrodontia( large teeth) It’s a condition in which the teeth are abnormally large, also called megadontism, or megalodontia. Microdontia (small teeth) It’s a condition in which teeth appear smaller than normal. In the generalized form, all teeth are involved. In the localized form, only a few teeth are involved. The most common teeth affected are the upper lateral incisors and third molars. The affected teeth may be of normal or abnormal morphology. There are 3 types of microdontia: 1. True generalized microdontia 2. Relative generalized microdontia 3. Microdontia involving a single tooth  Abnormalities in shape : Fusion Two teeth joined together into a single anatomic crown (union of two separated tooth germ) Gemination Two teeth joined together arising from a single tooth Germ (single root with two anatomic crowns).  Abnormalities in shape : Dilaceration Is a deviation or bend in the linear relationship of a crown of a tooth to its root; it is an angulation or sharp curve in the root or the crown of a developed tooth of 90º or more. Dens invaginatus It’s a malformation of teeth most likely resulting from an enfolding of the dental papilla during tooth development or invagination of all layer of the enamel organ in dental papillae.  Abnormalities in shape : Enamel pearl It’s small spherical enamel masses located at the root of the molars and are found in 2% of the population. There can be a small pulp chamber extending from the parent tooth. Taurodontism It’s a condition found in the molar teeth of humans whereby the body of the tooth and pulp chamber is enlarged vertically at the expense of the roots. As a result, the floor of the pulp and the furcation of the tooth is moved apically down the root  Abnormalities in shape : Talon cusp: It’s an Accessory cusp like structure projecting from the cingulum area or cementenamel junction of the maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth.  Skeletal anomalies Micrognathia, Macrognathia, Cleft lip and palate Torus palatines, Torus mandibularis THANK YOU CLICK TO a ADD TITLE By Enas Muhammad S U BT I T L E G O E S H E R E THANK YOU By: Enas Muhammad 16
