A minor bump to the head is the most commonly reported precipitant. Usually the toddler trips and falls; the child's caregiver may hear the bump. Most commonly, the child does not cry, although some parents give descriptions of the child "trying to cry" (Stephenson 1978), or there may be a gasp or a sob. Syncope rapidly ensues.
Teeth that are present often exhibit unusual shapes, such as conical or peg-like forms, particularly in the anterior regions of the mouth. Delayed tooth eruption and other structural defects, such as taurodontism (enlarged pulp chambers), are also frequently observed.
Tooth loss is a process in which one or more teeth come loose and fall out. Tooth loss is normal for deciduous teeth (baby teeth) , when they are replaced by a person's adult teeth . Otherwise, losing teeth is undesirable and is the result of injury or disease, such as dental avulsion , tooth decay , and gum disease .
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.
The result was black baby teeth. The author's daughter developed several cavities before her second birthday and underwent treatment to prevent more. The result was black baby teeth.
If multiple teeth are affected then, a segmental osteotomy may be performed to bring the entire segment into occlusion. [4] However, minimal success has been shown following this procedure. [5] These teeth usually are "non-responsive" to the orthodontic force and studies have shown that ankylosis of these teeth can occur if force applied.
Dens evaginatus is a rare odontogenic developmental anomaly that is found in teeth where the outer surface appears to form an extra bump or cusp.. Premolars are more likely to be affected than any other tooth. [3]
