This is due to the close proximity of the apex of a primary tooth to the permanent tooth underneath. The permanent dentition can suffer from tooth malformation, impacted teeth and eruption disturbances due to trauma to primary teeth. The priority should always be reducing potential damage to the underlying permanent dentition. [36]
Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries. Symptoms are specific to the type of injury; for example, fractures may involve pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the ...
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.
Dental trauma is a major global health issue and it affects 17.5% of children and adolescents. [9] 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.
Other disorders may cause lip enlargement (e.g. orofacial granulomatosis), [5] which alters the local anatomy and extenuates the skin folds at the corners of the mouth. More still may be involved because they affect the immune system, allowing normally harmless organisms like Candida to become pathogenic and cause an infection.
The primary cause of enamel wear in the grooves is the direct mechanical forces applied during chewing, such as vertical pressure and lateral forces as teeth grind or shear food. Particularly in areas where food is more frequently trapped or where contact is poor, the continuous friction between the food and the tooth surface causes abrasion ...
A crabeater seal injured by a predator. Injury is physiological damage to the living tissue of any organism, whether in humans, in other animals, or in plants.. Injuries can be caused in many ways, including mechanically with penetration by sharp objects such as teeth or with blunt objects, by heat or cold, or by venoms and biotoxins.
Checking in with a general dentist and an endodontist should be done if a patient feels these symptoms. [4] Signs in radiographic imaging will indicate a bend in the tooth's root as opposed to a straight growth. [1] Dilaceration of the crown, the top part of the teeth that we see when we smile, can be visually seen for diagnosis. Crown ...
