  2. Dental subluxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_subluxation

    It is most commonly seen in school children. Dental subluxation is one of the most common traumatic injuries in primary dentition. Maxillary central incisors are the most commonly affected teeth. [10] [11] Some studies have proposed that the resilience nature of periodontium favours dislocation than fracture of the tooth itself. [12]

  3. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

    Non-eruption of non-ankylosed teeth occurs due to an eruption mechanism that has failed leading to a posterior unilateral/bilateral open bite. [28] Infra occlusion is the primary hallmark of PFE. Primary teeth are most commonly affected and normally all teeth distal to the most mesially affected tooth will show characteristics of this disease.

    Single-surface in posterior primary teeth (baby back teeth) for first 2 years High (survival percentage = 94.3% [± 1.5]) [10] Multiple-surface in posterior primary teeth for first 2 years Medium to low (survival percentage = 65.4% [± 3.9]) [10] Single-surface in posterior permanent teeth (back adult teeth) for first 3 years

  5. Dental trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_trauma

    The management depends on the type of injury involved and whether it is a baby or an adult tooth. If teeth are completely knocked out baby front teeth should not be replaced. The area should be cleaned gently and the child brought to see a dentist. Adult front teeth (which usually erupt at around six years of age) can be replaced immediately if ...

    Permanent teeth or adult teeth are the second set of teeth formed in diphyodont mammals.In humans and old world simians, there are thirty-two permanent teeth, consisting of six maxillary and six mandibular molars, four maxillary and four mandibular premolars, two maxillary and two mandibular canines, four maxillary and four mandibular incisors.

    The child's supervising adults may need reassurance that it is only an extrinsic stain on a child's newly erupted teeth. [ 29 ] Patients with osteopetrosis display enamel abnormalities, suggesting that the a3 gene mutation found in V-ATPases also plays a role in the development of hypomineralized and hypoplastic enamel.

  8. Tooth mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_mobility

    In order to treat mobility, teeth can be joined or splinted together in order to distribute biting forces between several teeth rather than the individual mobile tooth. A splint differs from a mouthguard as a mouth guard covers both gums and teeth to prevent injury and absorb shock from falls or blows.

  9. Occlusal trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusal_trauma

    Occlusal trauma; Secondary occlusal trauma on X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, the lower left first premolar and canine. As the remnants of a once full complement of 16 lower teeth, these two teeth have been alone in opposing the forces associated with mastication for some time, as can be evidenced by the widened PDL surrounding the premolar.
