CHAPTER 1 TOOTH ANOMALIES
1. Anomalis of tooth number
1 Supernumerary tooth
|A.- 3°60 population, more common in maxi.
8. Most common: mesiodens~ a supernumerary tooth located between tho maxilary cena incisors.
©. Sometimes these supernumerary teeth may block the normal eruption of permanent teth
D. Associated syndrome: clidocranil dysplasia (autosomal dominant or mutations), Gardner’s syndrome.
(Gominant and vad of soft tise tumer, osteoma, familial adenomatous poyposis and supemumerary
teeth)
Commonly n maxilla than manelble and more common in permanent
F. Tx extraction of supernumerary teeth
it a mesiodens is inhibiting development of eruption of other teeth, interering with orthodontic movement,
developing pathology around it, or erupting into the nasal caviy (it can happen!) then | would lean towards
‘extraction. If a mesiodens is net interfering with eruption, orthodontic movement, has no pathology, and is
asymptomatic, | woud lean towards observation
2 Congentaly missing teeth
|A. Complete anodontia: congenital absenes of teeth, generally due to dev abnormalities suchas ectodermal
aplasia. (atfectng the development o function of tho tooth, hair, nails and sweat glands
8. Pala: congenital absonce of 1 or more teeth.
4. Hypodonta: congental absence ofa few teth
©. Cigodonta: congenital absence of large numberof toth
Most common congenitally missin teth: * molars> mand. 2°! pm > max latrais> max 2°! pm.
{3 When 2% pm is missing on one side: wih extraction close the space to make it symmetrical
For lateral incisor its much easier than the 2" pm, canine substitution and enamelopasty to
‘make it appoar more like latras or prosthetic replacoment (Maryland fridge)
“take note that for primary dentition, the mest common congenital missing primary tooth is
Most common ankyosed primary tooth is SiniAnBiAiGU SSSORATRB, which may bo

2. Anomalies of size:
1 Microdontia
‘A. Generalized: down syndrome , pituitary dwarfism, ectodermal dysplasia.
B. Localized. isolated instances are common and include peg-shaped maxillary lateral
“pog-shaped are often transmitted as autosomal dominant tat,
2 Macrodontia
‘A. Generalize: ptutary gigantism or pineal hyperplasia with
B. Localized: hemifacial hypertrophy, teeth on the affected side are abnormally large compared with the
unaffected sid.
3. Anomalies of shapeson and gems: DERE NES,
A. Fusion
a, 2 tooth buds merge into one tooth
b. More common
©. Have confluent dentin but separate canals (ori can be shared)
d, As the fused tooth is counted as one, thus the tooth count is one lass than normal
B. Conecrescence
Fusion of 2 completely formed teeth at their roots
. Must have confluent cementum
©. May take place before or after eruption of teeth and is related to trauma or overcrowding.

Most commonly seen in max 2nd and 3rd molars.
Linked to hypercomentosis
Germination (twinning)
a. Development of 2 crowns from one tooth bud,
Share a single root and root canal
©. Tooth count is normal when the tooth is counted as one.
ny
Dons invaginatus / Dens in dente.
‘A. Caused by invagination of IEE. (later becomes ameloblas!)
B. Represents as exaggeration or accentuation of the ingual pit
C. The iavagination is lined with enamel, creates a hole in the enamel and forms a tunnel through the tooth,
this allow caries to progress very quickly through the tunnel
Most common in permanent max. Lateral and central incisors. Bilateral involvement is commonly seen,
‘Should be diagnosed with x a
‘Tx: prophylactic filing ofthe pit, Large invaginations that disrupt normal coronal formation may need to be
extracted, endodontic tx for pulptis.

Dens evaginatus
A. Relatively common developmental condition, in which a focal portion of the crown projects outward
‘reating an exa cusp. (The exta cusp contains enamel, dentin and pulp )
B. Affecting predominantly premolar teeth (Leong's premolars), common in Chinese.
C. A prominent dens evaginatus often seen on anterior teeth is called a (alo GUS.
D. Common in Asians, Inulls and native Americans
°
Inim 9. Often bilateral. An anomalous tubercle, or cusp located at the center of the occlusal surface. Due to
‘occlusal abrasion, the tubercle wears relatively fast, and cause early exposure of an accessory pulp horn
that extends into the tubercle.
F, Typical nial: caries-free teeth often before completion of root dev and apical closure , making root fling
‘more difficult
‘Tx: sealant, pulp capping and partial pulpotomy

‘Taurodontism (bull shaped tooth)
‘A.A molar with an elongated root trunk, elongated pulp chamber and short root.
8. Generally occurs in patient with type 4 amelogneesis imperfecta, Kinefelter syndrome (xxv) of Down's
syndrome,
‘Supernumerary roots: Accessory roots are most commonly seen in mandibular canines, premolars and molars

4 Pulp caletieation
A. The difuse, o near, deposits are typically found inthe root canals and generally are parallel tothe blood
vessels. Pulp stones usually are found in the pulp chamber. When they are composed predominantly of
dentin, they are referred to as te demic,
B, False denticies: represent foci of dystrophic caleicaion.
C. Subdlvided into attached and free type.
5. Acquired anomalies
1 Atttion: physiologic wearing of teeth as a result of mastication
‘A. Factors such as det, dentition, jaw muscularture and chewing habits can influence the pattern and extent
of atttion
B, Tooth to tooth
©. Common cause: bruxism, poor occlusal contact after dental restoration.
D. Clinically: affected site are occlusal surfaces. lingual surfaces of maxillary dentition , and labial surtaces of
the mandibular teeth,
‘Tooth wear facets are characterized as flat, round or sharply angled and polished surfaces on the occlusal or incisal areas
‘of the teeth and may be the result of excessive attrition of one tooth against the other. Abrasion and erosion can also
‘contribute tothe excessive wear of the occlusal and incisal suraces.
Wear facets usually develop at: Lingual-incisal edge of max. centrals and canines, Facial edge of mand. canines2 Abrasion
‘A. Loss of tooth structure due to abnormal habit or abnormal use of abrasive substances orally
B. Pipe smoking, tobacco chewing, aggressive toothbrushing and use of abrasive dontifices,
as fingernal iting.
©. Tooth to object.
1D. The damage caused by abrasion is flat unlike V-shaped abfraction,
E. Clinical sign sy
‘a, Toothbrush abrasion presents as horizontal notches on the buccal and cervical aspect of the posterior
tweth. Exposure of dentin and comentum and gingival recession is common.
Biting of nails, pins or pencils can result in Wahaped notches on the incisal edge of the incisors.

6. Ankyosis
1 The fusion of a tooth to suroundling bone,
Considered tobe ankyiosed when thee is no passive eruption
Usually occurs associated with erupted primary molars, it may resul in impaction of a subsequent permanent
tooth.

Normal physiologic for exfoliation of the primary dentition.
1 Internal root resorption
‘A. Caused by injury to pulpal tissue related to trauma or caries, orthodontic treatment, cracked teeth,
excessive heat generated during restoration,
B.Usualy aysmptomatic and identified by chance.
CC. Cirical signs and symptoms
a. Xray: Woll-ctcumscribed oval or round radiolucency with smooth, well-defined margins in the pulp
chamber of root canal. Ballooning out of the root canal
b
©. If pulp is stil vital patient may experience symptoms of pulptis. If entire pulp is necrotic then the
pationt may experience symptoms of apical periodontitis
D. Treatment is aimed at severing the blood supply tothe resorbing tissues by means of conventional root
canal treatment (use of ultrasonic irigation and inra-canal medicaments such as Calcium hydroxide will
be necessary and flowable obturation materials or MTA in suspected cases of root perforation will bo
necessary)
E. Extensive resorption can eventually lead to root perforation resulting in the formation of a sinus tract
Wich result in poorer prognosis
2 External root resorption (more common)
‘A. More difficult to treat. It tends to be more aggressive, is usually asymptomatic and is characterized by an
Invasion of blood vessels and connective tissue into tooth’ root
B. Cause:trauma periodontal tx, orthodontics. footh whitening, increase occlusal forces that lead to
periradicular inflammation are the most common stimulants of inflammatory resorption
(Other uncommon cause include pressure from ectopic teeth, cyst and tumors.©. Can be further classtied into

4. Replacement: occurs following ankylosis of the roots of the alveolar bone. The tooth tissue is
resorbed and replaced wih bone.
D._ Radiographicaly: moth-eaten loss of root structure, typically in the apex or midroot portion ofthe tooth
E. Tic case-dependent, may be elimination of etiologic factors, remave sot tissue adjacent to resoption sito
or replacoment of the lost root structures with restorative material last if extensive, extraction
