Effects of maternal acetazolamide treatment on body weights and incisor development of the fetal rat. (1/1014)

The incisor development of fetal rats on gestation day 19 was well correlated with their fetal weights. The number of odontoblasts in the mandibular incisors, an index of incisor development, increased more than that of the maxillary incisors with increase in fetal body weights. Maternal acetazolamide treatments were observed to suppress the mean fetal weight and to retard incisor development. A smaller incisor size, a thinner predentin layer, and fewer odontoblasts were characteristic of the acetazolamide group. There was also a good correlation between the fetal weights and the number of odontoblasts in the acetazolamide group. From these results, we postulated that the retarded incisor development of the fetal rats caused by the maternal acetazolamide treatment was related to their suppressed fetal weights. However, the regression coefficient of the fetal weights and the number of odontoblasts in the acetazolamide group was smaller than that of the vehicle control group. It may indicate that retarded incisor development in response to maternal acetazolamide treatment is to some extent independent of suppressed fetal weight.  (+info)

A modern human pattern of dental development in lower pleistocene hominids from Atapuerca-TD6 (Spain). (2/1014)

The study of life history evolution in hominids is crucial for the discernment of when and why humans have acquired our unique maturational pattern. Because the development of dentition is critically integrated into the life cycle in mammals, the determination of the time and pattern of dental development represents an appropriate method to infer changes in life history variables that occurred during hominid evolution. Here we present evidence derived from Lower Pleistocene human fossil remains recovered from the TD6 level (Aurora stratum) of the Gran Dolina site in the Sierra de Atapuerca, northern Spain. These hominids present a pattern of development similar to that of Homo sapiens, although some aspects (e.g., delayed M3 calcification) are not as derived as that of European populations and people of European origin. This evidence, taken together with the present knowledge of cranial capacity of these and other late Early Pleistocene hominids, supports the view that as early as 0.8 Ma at least one Homo species shared with modern humans a prolonged pattern of maturation.  (+info)

Scanning electron microscopy of the lateral cell surfaces of rat incisor ameloblasts. (3/1014)

Dry dissected rat incisor ameloblasts studied in the scanning electron microscope show remarkable specializations of their lateral surfaces. Four or five cycles of a change from a surface with longitudinal gutterlike folds associated with large intercellular spaces, to one with microvilli and reduced intercellular spaces, are found along the length of the lower incisor maturation zone. It is argued that these changes indicate cyclical activity in maturation ameloblasts.  (+info)

Morphological changes in periodontal mechanoreceptors of mouse maxillary incisors after the experimental induction of anterior crossbite: a light and electron microscopic observation using immunohistochemistry for PGP 9.5. (4/1014)

Ruffini nerve endings (mechanoreceptors) in the periodontal ligament (PDL) of mouse incisors were examined to elucidate whether experimentally-induced crossbites cause any changes or abnormalities in their morphology and distribution. Anterior guiding planes were attached to the mandibular incisors of 3-week-old C3H/HeSlc mice. At 3 days and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks post-attachment of the appliance, the mice were sacrificed by perfusion fixation. Frozen sagittal cryostat sections of the decalcified maxillary incisors were processed for immunohistochemistry of protein gene product 9.5, followed by histochemical determination of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity to reveal sites of alveolar bone resorption. Despite the absence of bone resorption within the lingual PDL of control mice, distinct resorption sites were seen in the respective regions of the experimental animals. Unlike the controls, many Ruffini endings showing vague and swollen contours, with unusually long and pedunculated micro-projections were observed in the affected lingual PDL of the incisors in the experimental animals with short-term anterior crossbite induction. Club-shaped nerve terminations with few, if any, micro-projections were observed in the lingual PDL of experimental animals with long-term induction, as well as in aged control mouse incisors. Differences in the distribution of Ruffini endings were also observed. These results indicate that changing the direction of the force applied to the PDL results in rapid and prolonged changes in the morphology of Ruffini-like mechanoreceptors.  (+info)

Arrested eruption of the permanent lower second molar. (5/1014)

The incidence of retention/impaction of the permanent lower second molar (M2inf) lies between 0.6/1000 and 3/1000. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the craniofacial morphology, the frequency of dental anomalies and the inclination of the affected M2inf and the adjacent first molar in patients with arrested eruption of M2inf. The overall goal was to elucidate the aetiology of arrested tooth eruption and to present the characteristics of these patients in order to improve diagnosis and treatment planning. Radiographic material (profile radiographs and orthopantomograms) from 19 patients (nine females and 10 males; 13-19 years of age at the time of referral) were analysed. The ages of the patients when profile radiographs were taken for cephalometric analysis varied from 8 to 16 years. The study shows that this group of patients, compared with a reference group, had an increased sagittal jaw relationship (Class II). Specifically, the mandibular prognathism was less, the mandibular gonial angle smaller, the mandibular alveolar prognathism enlarged and the maxillary incisor inclination less than in the reference group. Furthermore, this group of patients had a more frequent occurrence of morphological tooth anomalies, such as root deflections, invaginations, and taurodontism. However, none of the patients with arrested eruption of M2inf had agenesis of the lower third molar. The study did not reveal an association between the degree of inclination of the M2inf and that of the first molar in the same region. The results of this investigation show that conditions such as the craniofacial morphology and deviations in the dentition are associated with arrested eruption of M2inf. Therefore, it is important to evaluate these conditions in future diagnosis and treatment planning of patients with arrested eruption of M2inf.  (+info)

The length and eruption rates of incisor teeth in rats after one or more of them had been unimpeded. (6/1014)

The eruption rate and length of all four incisor teeth in rats were measured under ether anaesthesia by recording the position of marks on their labial surfaces at 2-day intervals, using calibrated graticules in microscope eyepieces. The rats were divided into four groups and either a lower, an upper, both a lower and an upper, or no incisors were unimpeded. This paper describes the changes when the unimpeded incisors returned to the occlusion. Neither the unimpeded nor the impeded incisors simply returned to control values immediately the period of unimpeded eruption ended, but showed transient changes in their lengths and eruption rates. The results confirm that eruption rates are determined by the sum of the lengths of the lower and upper incisors, rather than by their own lengths, with longer teeth erupting more slowly. Specifically, restoring the bevel to the incisors did not slow their eruption below normal impeded rates. The slowing of the eruption of the longer of two adjacent incisors was related to the length differences of the incisors in the same jaw, not to the sum of the differences in both jaws. Contact with the contralateral incisor in the opposite jaw slowed the eruption of an incisor more than contact with the ipsilateral incisor.  (+info)

Pathological evaluation of the effects of intentional disocclusion and overloading occlusion in odontogenesis disorders in N-methylnitrosourea-treated hamsters. (7/1014)

This study compares the effects of disocclusion and overloading occlusion on dental lesions. Ten-day-old Syrian hamsters were divided into 4 groups: group I, untreated animals; group II, animals whose hemilateral incisors were disoccluded; group III, N-methylnitrosourea (MNU)-treated animals; and group IV, MNU-treated animals whose hemilateral incisors were disoccluded. The ipsilateral maxillary and mandibular incisors were repetitively cut with diamond discs. The hamster is easier to anesthetize. Animals received a 0.2% solution of MNU (10 mg/kg body weight) intragastrically twice a week for 16 wk. All the cut mandibular incisors and the MNU-treated uncut mandibular incisors showed lack of iron deposition on the enamel surface. The eruption rate was significantly higher in the cut disoccluded incisors of groups II and IV (p < 0.05) and significantly lower in the uncut overloaded incisors of groups II and IV (p < 0.05). In the cut mandibular incisors of group IV, the degree of the disturbance of odontogenesis and the atypical proliferation of odontogenic epithelium were more prominent (p < 0.02), and the dental lesions occurred earlier. Histologically, the disturbed Hertwig's epithelial sheath and the Hertwig's epithelial sheath-like transformed U-shaped part and enamel organ seemed to lead to disturbances of amelogenesis and detinogenesis as well as to atypical proliferation of odontogenic epithelium nests. Thus, this method of disocclusion of the incisors of rodents may represent a useful model for the investigation of the effects of various agents on tooth formation over a short experimental period.  (+info)

Postnatal expression of calretinin-immunoreactivity in periodontal Ruffini endings in the rat incisor: a comparison with protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5)-immunoreactivity. (8/1014)

The postnatal expression of immunoreactivity for calretinin, one of the calcium binding proteins, and for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), a general neuronal marker, was investigated in mechanoreceptive Ruffini endings in the periodontal ligament of the rat incisor. Age-related changes in the expression of these two proteins in periodontal nerves were further quantified with a computerized image analysis. At 1 day after birth, a few PGP 9.5-immunoreactive nerve fibers and a still smaller number of calretinin-positive fibers were found in the periodontal ligament: they were thin and beaded in appearance and no specialized nerve terminals were recognized. Tree-like terminals, reminiscent of immature Ruffini endings, were recognizable in 4-day-old rats by PGP 9.5-immunohistochemistry, while calretinin-immunostaining failed to reveal these specialized endings. At postnatal 7-11 days when PGP 9.5-immunostaining could demonstrate typical Ruffini endings, calretinin-immunopositive nerve fibers merely tapered off without forming the Ruffini type endings. A small number of Ruffini endings showing calretinin-immunoreactivity began to occur in the periodontal ligament at 24-26 days after birth when the occlusion of the first molars had been established. At the functional occlusion stage (60-80 days after birth), the Ruffini endings showing calretinin-immunoreactivity drastically increased in number and density, but less so than those positive for PGP 9.5-immunoreaction. The delayed expression of calretinin suggests that the function of the periodontal Ruffini endings is established after the completion of terminal formation because Ca2+, which binds to calcium binding proteins including calretinin with high affinity, plays an important role in mechano-electric transduction.  (+info)

Dental traumatic injuries may affect the teeth and alveolar bone directly or indirectly. Pulpal necrosis and chronic and apical periodontitis with cystic changes are the most common sequelae of the dental traumatic injuries, if the teeth are not treated immediately. This case report focuses on the conventional and surgical management of mandibular central incisors. A twenty-four-year-old male patient presented with pain in the mandibular central incisors. Radiographic examination revealed mandibular central incisors with dumbbell shaped periapical lesion. After root canal treatment, parendodontic surgery was performed for mandibular central incisors. After one-year recall examination, the teeth were asymptomatic and periapical lesion had healed.
The purpose of this article is to report the orthodontic treatment of a patient with extremely delayed development of the maxillary lateral incisors. At 7 years of age, the boys permanent maxillary lateral incisors had not erupted. A radiograph show
Dental epithelial stem cells are able to generate all epithelial cell types of the teeth; however, it was not yet clear whether these cells could also produce non-dental cell populations. In a recent paper published in the open access journal Cells, a team of researchers led by Thimios Mitsiadis, professor at the Institute of Oral Biology of the University of Zurich (UZH), has shown for the first time that epithelial stem cells isolated from the continuously growing incisors of young mice are indeed able to form mammary glands in female mice.. In a first set of experiments, after removing all cells of mammary origin, dental epithelial stem cells and mammary epithelial cells were directly injected into the areas where the mammary glands normally develop. The researchers used advanced genetic, molecular and imaging tools that allow the precise follow-up of the transplanted dental stem cells in the mammary gland fat pad of the animals. The results show that the dental stem cells contribute to ...
Teeth are epithelial appendages located at the entrance to the digestive tract and possess a complex morphology consisting of different arrangements, shape and number of cusps, crown size, and a manner of growth that is evolutionarily dependent on dietary habits. The exquisitely functional form of a developing tooth is the result of precise coordination between the processes of cell proliferation, differentiation and death (Salazar-Ciudad et al., 2003; Tucker and Sharpe, 2004). These processes are regulated by the sequential and reciprocal interactions between the oral ectoderm and the neural crest-derived mesenchyme, as well as other ectodermal organs (Pispa and Thesleff, 2003). Though several signaling pathways and transcription factors have been implicated in the regulation of molar crown development, relatively little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of root development. It has recently been reported that NFI-C/CTF (nuclear factor I-C/CAAT-box transcription factor) is essential for ...
The fusion of permanent teeth is a development anomaly of dental hard tissue. It may require a hard multidisciplinary approach with orthodontics, endodontics, surgery and prosthetics to solve aesthetic and functional problems. A 20-year-old Caucasian man presented to our Department to solve a dental anomaly of his upper central incisors. An oral investigation revealed the fusion of his maxillary central incisors and dyschromia of right central incisor. Vitality pulp tests were negative for lateral upper incisors and left central incisor. Radiographic examinations showed a fused tooth with two separate pulp chambers, two distinct roots and two separate root canals. There were also periapical lesions of central incisors and right lateral incisor, so he underwent endodontic treatment. Six months later, OPT examination revealed persistence of the periapical radiolucency, so endodontic surgery was performed, which included exeresis of the lesion, an apicoectomy and retrograde obturation with a reinforced
Final inclination (|95 degrees ) and free gingival-margin thickness (|0.5 mm) showed greater and more severe recession on the mandibular central incisors. Nevertheless, when comparing thickness to the final inclination, thickness had greater relevance to recession.
Introduction: Orthodontic cases managed by extraction of maxillary central incisors are very uncommon, but certain conditions necessitate their extraction. This article reports a case of adolescent boy with a history of trauma to the maxillary incisors. Patient was treated with extraction of both the maxillary central incisors followed by space closure and lateral incisors substituting for central incisors.
The dental formula for Dorudon atrox is 3.1.4.23.1.4.3. [13] Typical for cetaceans, the upper incisors are aligned with the cheek teeth, and, except the small I1, separated by large diastemata containing pits into which the lower incisors fit. The upper incisors are simple conical teeth with a single root, lacking accessory denticles, and difficult to distinguish from lower incisors. The upper incisors are missing in most specimens and are only known from two specimens. The upper canine is a little larger than the upper incisors, and, like them, directed slightly buccally and mesially.[13] P1, only preserved in a single specimen, is the only single-rooted upper premolar. Apparently, P1 is conical, smaller than the remaining premolars and lacks accessory denticles. P2 is the largest upper tooth and the first in the upper row with large accessory denticles. Like the more posterior premolars, it is buccolingually compressed and double-rooted. It has a dominant central protocone flanked by denticles ...
Course Description:. Upper central incisor impaction has functional, esthetic and psychologic implications. Causes of the impaction can be divided in obstructive and traumatic. Among the first ones are: supernumerary teeth, odontomas and mesiodens. Among the second group are facial trauma received in the primary or early mixed dentition. In close relation as well with root dilaceration. Other less common reasons for impaction include: crowding, endocrine alterations, bone diseases, genetic conditions, extraction or ankylosis of primary incisors. The impacted upper central incisor can be classified depending on: mesio-distal position, occluso-gingival position, midline angulation, degree of root formation. If early intervention is not enough. There is the need for surgical exposure and orthodontic traction. Among possible treatment complications are: esthetic gingival sequelae, ankylosis and root resorption. Learning Objectives:. ...
Children with a full set of deciduous teeth (primary teeth) also have eight incisors, named the same way as in permanent teeth. Young children may have from zero to eight incisors depending on the stage of their tooth eruption and tooth development. Typically, the mandibular central incisors erupt first, followed by the maxillary central incisors, the mandibular lateral incisors and finally the maxillary laterals. The rest of the primary dentition erupts after the incisors.[2] Apart from the first molars, the incisors are also the first permanent teeth to erupt, following the same order as the primary teeth, among themselves. ...

Incisors are special kinds of teeth that can be found in some mammals, such as humans. They are the eight large flat teeth with straight edges that are at the front of a persons mouth, in between the canine teeth, which are pointed. The straight edges of the incisors are useful for biting because they cut sharply. They come together like a pair of pincers. In a human, the two teeth at the middle of each jaw are called the central incisors, and the side ones are the lateral incisors. (lateral means to the side). Some humans never grow lateral incisors or have very small ones, particularly at the top. In many mammalian herbivores (plant-eaters) these front teeth are used to cut off stems of grass and other growing things, that are then ground up by the molars at the back of the mouth. Some omnivores (animals that eat both plants and meat), like humans, have incisors like herbivores. In carnivores (meat-eating mammals) like cats, the incisors are often quite small. The canine teeth are ...

Chapter 2. Variations in Transition of Mandibular Incisors*. 2.1 Introduction The mandible precedes the maxilla in the transition of the incisors. The first deciduous tooth to be lost - the mandibular central incisor - is exfoliated about 1 year earlier than the corresponding maxillary incisor.. The tooth-containing parts of the mandible differ markedly from those in the maxilla in size, shape, and structure. Consequently, the transition of the mandibular incisors differs from that of the maxillary incisors. In the mandible less space is available for the crowns of the not-yet-erupting permanent teeth and the roots of the deciduous and permanent ones than in the maxilla. Further, the mandible does not have an interstitial growth site in the form of a midsagittal suture that can contribute to an increased transverse jaw dimension in the median plane. The aforementioned differences partly explain why the transition of incisors in the mandible varies less than that in the maxilla.. The combination ...

The dental pathology is very common in rabbits. The causes of these changes can be very varied, but they are invariably linked to the fact that rabbits make throughout their lives teeth of continuous growth. The dentition comprises 28 teeth, in addition to incisors, which can be seen easily, they also have the premolars and molars. Because of the anatomical features of the mouth of the rabbits, the latter are not easy to visualize. The incisors are used to cut the food while the molars and premolars are for grinding food and reduce it to little pieces. The wear of the teeth is made by chewing and by contact between teeth ...

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the anteroposterior relationship of the maxillary central incisors to the forehead in adult white males with harmonious profiles and adult white male orthodontic patients. Methods: 101 photographs of adult white males with good facial harmony (control sample) were compared with 97 photographs of adult white males seeking orthodontic treatment (study sample). All were profile images with the maxillary central incisors and foreheads in full view. The images were imported into Adobe Photoshop™, resized and rotated to the upright head position. Reference lines were constructed to assess the anteroposterior positions of the maxillary central incisors and forehead inclinations. Results: In the control sample, 91% had maxillary central incisors positioned between the FFA point and glabella, 8% posterior to the forehead facial axis (FFA) point, and ,1% anterior to the glabella. The position of the maxillary central incisors were moderately correlated with forehead ...
The objective of this study is to explore differences in crown-to-root angulation between lateral incisors adjacent to palatally impacted canines (PICs) and lateral incisors adjacent to normally erupted canines (NECs). Orthodontic records of 100 subjects (51 with PICs and 49 with NECs) were reviewed. Crown-to-root angulations of all lateral incisors were measured manually on the final panoramic radiographs. Also, three experienced orthodontists were asked to visually inspect the morphology of the lateral incisors on the panoramic radiographs. A mixed model was used to test the difference in crown-to-root angulation of the lateral incisor between the experimental and the control groups. The association between the examiners observations and the presence of a canine impaction was assessed by means of a chi-square test. All analyses were performed at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. A significant (p = 0.009) difference of 2.3° in crown-to-root angulation was found between groups. Also, 66.7%
0070]An impression of a polycarbonate maxillary right central incisor crown (No. 100, available from 3M ESPE Dental Products, St. Paul, Minn.) was made using IMPRINT II vinyl polysiloxane impression material (available from 3M ESPE Dental Products, St. Paul, Minn.). The polycarbonate crown was then removed from the set impression material to provide a mold for forming the solid curable malleable solid crown. Approximately 5-millimeter long slits were cut through the base of the mold (the marginal edge of the crown) on opposite sides along the mesial-distal line using a razor blade. After the dental composition of Preparative Example 1 was heated in an oven at approximately 80° C. for approximately five minutes, the mold was filled with the dental composition. The base of the filled mold was then pressed against a flat surface to provide a molded solid curable malleable crown with a flat base. Excess dental composition was trimmed from the filled mold using a razor blade. The filled mold was ...
The rationale of pediatric endodontics is to preserve a primary tooth in the arch till its permanent counterpart replaces it. A thorough knowledge of the internal anatomy of primary teeth is essential for complete debridement and efficacious endodontic treatment of these teeth. Undetected or missed root canals can leave dormant bacteria in the root canal, thus hampering the success of pulpectomy. Very few studies in literature describe the comprehensive anatomy of primary maxillary central incisors. Existing literature describes the root canal anatomy of these teeth as a single, round, oval or triangular root canal. Variations in the root canals of the primary maxillary central incisors have not been reported. Our case report illustrates a unique case of primary maxillary central incisors with bifurcated root canals and its subsequent endodontic treatment.. ...

These absent teeth pose functional problems for chewing and hygiene, which can affect long-term dental health. But they can also have a disruptive effect on an otherwise attractive smile if the missing teeth are the upper lateral incisors in the most visible part of the smile.. You normally find this pair of teeth on either side of the upper central incisors (the two front-most teeth). On the other side of the lateral incisors are the canine or eye teeth, known for their pointed appearance. Without the lateral incisors, the canines tend to drift into the space next to the central incisors. This can produce an odd appearance even a layperson will notice: only four teeth where there should be six!. Its possible to correct this abnormality, but it will take time and expense. The first step is usually to move the teeth in the upper jaw with ...
A 58-yr-old woman was scheduled to undergo upper lobectomy of the right lung. The preoperative visit by an anesthesiologist revealed that her upper incisors (numbers 7-9) were mobile, even with a light touch, and her other upper teeth, with the exception of number 4, were dentures. The patient was informed that her incisors could be damaged during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, and verbal consent was obtained for possible damage, but she also requested that we make our best effort to spare her incisor teeth. In the operating room, general anesthesia was induced with intravenous propofol supplemented with fentanyl. After muscle relaxation was obtained with intravenous vecuronium, direct laryngoscopy was performed with a Macintosh blade. On the first attempt, approaching from the right of her incisor teeth, her tongue could not be appropriately displaced leftward because her loose upper incisors prohibited liberal use of the laryngoscopic blade. Only a part of glottis could been seen ...

Researchers identify a molecular mechanism that controls the precise patterning of enamel formation on incisor teeth. Mouse incisors are covered with enamel on the side closest to the lip while the other side remains enamel-free. This irregular distribution of enamel helps keep the cutting edges of the incisors very sharp. While it is well established that ameloblasts secrete enamel, the molecular signals regulating asymmetric ameloblast differentiation from the underlying dental epithelium are not well understood.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Dynamic finite element analysis of the human maxillary incisor under impact loading in various directions. AU - Huang, Haw Ming. AU - Ou, Keng Liang. AU - Wang, Wei Nang. AU - Chiu, Wen Ta. AU - Lin, Che Tong. AU - Lee, Sheng Yang. PY - 2005/10. Y1 - 2005/10. N2 - The aim of this study was to investigate fracture patterns occurring when a human upper central incisor is subjected to impact loadings at various angles. A two-dimensional finite element (FE) model of the maxillary incisor and surrounding tissues was established. The structural damping factor for the tooth was then calculated and assigned to the model. Dynamic FE analysis was performed to stimulate the associated impacts. Time-dependent traumatic forces at 0°, 45°, and 90° labially to the long axis of the tooth were applied to the model. Von Misess equivalent stress contours within the FE models were calculated. Our results indicated that tooth damping lagged behind peak stress by 0.05 ms. In addition, we found ...

Trimming of incisor teeth is only necessary due to poor dental conformation. It is not ever required as a routine procedure in camelids since incisors will wear down naturally during grazing in animals with normal dental conformation. Overgrowth of incisors can occur if the bottom jaw extends out beyond the upper jaw so that the incisors do not touch the dental pad and wear during grazing. It can also occur if the incisor teeth are set at a flatter angle such that they again do not meet the dental pad. Assessment of whether or not the incisor teeth require trimming is best made by a vet who can trim the incisors under sedation to minimise the stress occurring to the animal during trimming. It is important to ensure that not too much tooth is removed as that can result in exposure of the pulp canal that will be painful and may lead to infection in the tooth roots. Use of some imported dental trimming devices by untrained personnel may result in inappropriate trimming and sharp edges that cause ...
Early childhood caries (ECC) causes premature loss of primary maxillary anterior teeth that hampers the childs growth and adversely affects psychology. Aesthetic restoration of the lost primary tooth aids in speech, mastication and in overall well being of the child. Fixed functional space maintainers, Gropers appliance does not need the cooperation of the child patient and hence more successful in maintaining the aesthetics as well as preserving the arch length. Minimum amount of palatal coverage by the appliance also increases its acceptance. The main purpose of the article was to restore the speech and appearance of a 4 year old child due to aesthetic rehabilitation of maxillary anterior teeth thereby restoring the confidence. ...
Parenting tips for infant teething are a great source of information for anyone trying to cope with the difficult period of teeth eruption. There could be long sleepless nights when the child fusses, whines or cries, days when he or she refuses to eat, sobbing and chewing at every object that falls at hand. How can one help the infant better pass over this stress? The solution to such a question will also be the cure for the parents exhaustion.. First of all, infant teething starts with the eruption of the lower front teeth, so it is there that you should look for swollen red gums. The event occurs somewhere between six and ten months of age but it is may also happen that the process should start sooner like at three, four or five months. The lower incisors are followed by the upper middle ones, and these are the most difficult stages to go over with, since the rest of the teeth will erupt more slowly, bothering less both infant and parents.. Temperature is among the most alarming infant ...

MyJournals.org - Science - Displacement in root apex and changes in incisor inclination affect alveolar bone remodeling in adult bimaxillary protrusion patients: a retrospective study (Head & Face Medicine)
Symptoms. The disease or anomaly is localised to small, restricted geographical regions and solely affects children who have grown up on the spot; but a high ;1 percentage of them are attacked. Only the permanent teeth are affected, the deciduous teeth very rarely. In the main the teeth retain their shape. The changes are of two kinds, which must be kept quite separate. In the first place the enamel in spots or more diffusely loses its normal translucence and becomes turbid, whitish, with a tone that recalls chalk or unglazed paper (mottled). This change is already observable at the eruption of the tooth. In the second place, after eruption a dark, pigmentary substance is deposited in the defective enamel (stained). The colour may vary in intensity, from yellow via brown to black. The coloured areas are arranged in irregular patches or more regular transversal bands, and are mostly localised to the labial surfaces of incisors and canines, that is to say the areas exposed to the light (Fig. I). ...
Mandible was the largest bone of the skull. It was a single bone and consisted of two halves that articulated cranially at intermandibular symphysis. The mandible lodged all the lower teeth. The body was concave dorsoventrally and presented three alveoli for incisors and a large alveolus for canine in each half of the mandible. The labial surface was more extensive than lingual surface. The symphaseal surface faced each other and formed intemandibular symphysis. It was rough and irregular. The rami were right and left and were symmetrical. Each ramus was flattened from side to side. The two rami diverge to form a large

The age of the ox or cow is told chiefly by the teeth and less perfectly by the horns. The temporary teeth are in part through at birth, and all the incisors are through in twenty days; the first, second and third pairs of temporary molars are through in thirty days; the teeth have grown large enough to touch each other by the sixth month; they gradually wear and fall in eighteen months; the fourth permanent molars are through at the fourth month; the fifth at the fifteenth; the sixth at two years. The temporary teeth begin to fall at twenty-one months, and are entirely replaced by the thirtyninth to the forty-fifth month. The development is quite complete at from five to six years. At that time the border of the incisors has been worn away a little below the level of the grinders. At six years, are beginning to wear, and are on a level with the incisors. At eight years, the wear of the first grinders is very apparent. At ten or eleven years, used surfaces of the teeth begin to bear a square ...
Striking differences between carnivores and herbivores are seen in these organs. Carnivores have a capacious simple (single-chambered) stomach. The stomach volume of a carnivore represents 60-70% of the total capacity of the digestive system. Because meat is relatively easily digested, their small intestines (where absorption of food molecules takes The saliva of carnivorous animals does not contain digestive enzymes. Human saliva contains the carbohydrate-digesting enzyme, salivary amylase. This enzyme is responsible for the majority of starch digestion. The dentition of herbivores is quite varied depending on the kind of vegetation a particular species is adapted to eat. Although these animals differ in the types and numbers of teeth they possess, the various kinds of teeth when present, share common structural features. The incisors are broad, flattened and spade-like. Canines may be small as in horses, prominent as in hippos, pigs and some primates (these are thought to be used for ...
Dr. Holliday took a LOT of detailed notes on her mouth issue. Every incisor is worn down, almost to pulp exposure, she has a broken canine on the upper jaw and the lower jaw has a canine that has root exposure all the way to the end almost. Her lip has been torn (and healed) from its proper position and is sort of dangling there. Did she skid face first across the road? Did she fight and get her lip torn? Not sure. My vote is on face first across the road. Her incisors are worn…she has broken teeth…and her lip and gums are degloved in a sense. But, we dont really know…we can only assume. However, how do we fix it? Not entirely sure, to be honest. Sure, you can go chopping away and resew and repin…but, do we NEED to? Dr. Holliday is researching this. Usually, if the degloving is within 24 hours, you do go in surgically and repair. However, this thing is long gone and healed. So, what now? Ill keep you updated ...
Long-eared jerboa tail length is 150 to 162 mm, body length is from 70 to 90 mm. The tail is covered with short hairs that are similar in color to the rest of the body except for the terminal tuft, which is white and black. Upper parts are reddish yellow to a light russet color. The belly is white. The hind foot is 40 to 46 mm in length, with five digits. The two lateral digits are shorter than the three central ones. The central metatarsals are fused for a small distance. The feet are covered with tufts of bristly hairs. Long-eared jerboas have ears that are 1/3 longer than their heads. The incisors are thin and white. A small premolar can be found on each side of the upper jaw. Females have eight mammae. (Nowak, 1999). ...

A more recent option for treating congenitally missing lateral incisors, and one that currently is recommended often, is the single-tooth implant. Over the past several years, the predictability and long-term success rates of implants have made them an obvious restorative choice,5 especially when teeth adjacent to the space are healthy, of normal size and shape, and unrestored.8,9 Furthermore, placement of an implant may provide a functional stimulus to help preserve bone and prevent resorption.10 However, when choosing the single-tooth implant as a restorative op- tion, several factors must be taken into ac- count such as growth considerations, space requirements, and site development.3 Because an implant acts essentially like an ankylosed tooth, any vertical alveolar growth and eruption of teeth would cause a discrepancy between the gingival margin of the natural tooth and the implant. Therefore, implant placement should occur only after growth has been completed,2-4 and it has been suggested ...
Soon the kids came filing in and plopped themselves down on the floor. Once they had settled down, Melly started talking. Oh my gosh! I never realized what a talker she is! Or maybe she just talks a lot when she is talking about me. Actually, I think thats it. She knows a lot about me and about other capybaras so shes got a bunch of material to cover. These kids knew a tremendous amount too! Melly was shocked when they knew the words amphibian and incisors. Two good words. Im not an amphibian but I am amphibious and I have great big rodent incisors. Even though Melly told the kids that my teeth are razor sharp, no one was too afraid to pet me..
