Mutational analysis of MSX1 and PAX9 genes in Portuguese families with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The observation that certain patterns of tooth agenesis occur more frequently in individuals of the same family may suggest the existence of predisposing genetic factors. The aim of this study was to search for mutations in the PAX9 and MSX1 genes and to investigate their potential association with the maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA) phenotype in 12 Portuguese families, a total of 52 individuals, 12 probands and 40 relatives (eight of which had MLIA). Twenty-three of the subjects were male and 29 female with an age range of 10-75 years. The control group comprised random DNA samples of 91 Portuguese individua...

We present a case of 10year-old boy with oropharyngeal injury caused by a toothbrush which penetrated the parapharyngeal space. Initial examination revealed broken end of the toothbrush in oral cavity with the head of the toothbrush having bristles, beyond the soft palate. Tongue and palate were lacerated and there were blood and oral secretions in the oral cavity. Patient was having bradycardia. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed the toothbrush head near the carotid artery, the carotid being laterally displaced. The foreign body was surgically removed without any intraoperative or postoperative complications. (Source: J...

It occurs as a result of a short, tight, lingual frenum causing tethering of the tongue tip. It is a common oral finding in infants and children, which is often neglected. Although most cases resolve or are asymptomatic, some patients develop articulation problems and other concerns related to poor tongue-tip mobility. In this article, we report on a 5-year old girl with a tongue tie, who...

Fibrous connective tissue, containing abnormal bone, replaces normal bone. The etiology of fibrous dysplasia is unknown. The radiographic appearance of the irregularly shaped trabeculae aids in the differential diagnosis. Occurring most commonly in the second decade of life, the lesions of fibrous dysplasia can be surgically recontoured for esthetic or functional purposes once they become dormant. Here, we rep...

Pediatricians are responsible for the primary care of the child and are well positioned to begin this process if they recognize and encourage good preventive habits and refer appropriately. Insufficient information about their role in prevention of dental caries led us to conduct a survey among pe...

Method to simplify a direct implant impression using an extended guide pinEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Implant impression techniques can be subdivided into indirect (transfer) and direct (pickup) types. The direct impression technique requires a 2-piece impression coping with a removable guide pin that screws directly into the abutment or onto the implant. An open-tray impression technique allows access to the guide pin after the material has polymerized so that the copings can be removed without disturbing their orientation within the impression during removal from the mouth.
