WHY DOES MY CHILD HAVE AN EXTRA TOOTH?
Adam Ridgeway, DDS Diplomate, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry Pediatric Dentist, The Dental Specialists-Roseville
May 19, 2015
67
Supernumerary-HyperdontiaDefinition:
• A developmental abnormality that can affect Both the Primary and Permanent dentition
• Occurs when the tooth number Exceeds the normal dental formula
• Can occur Singular or Multiples, Maxillary or Mandibular, Unilateral or Bilateral
68
Supernumerary-Hyperdontia
Etiology:
Evidence points to a Genetic Predisposition that hyperdontia might follow autosomal dominant inheritance with a lack of penetrance
Multifactorial- Genetic and Environmental
“The Curse of the Family Mesiodens”
69
Supernumerary-HyperdontiaEtiology: 3 predominate mechanisms
Atavism: A reversion back to extinct primate dental tissue
- largely discounted - only accounts for individual occurrences
70
Dichotomy: An equal or unequal split of the tooth bud/germ cells resulting in supplemental or rudimentary supernumeraries
Independent Hyperactivity Dental Lamina: Most Accepted Theory Lamina is responsible for dental formation Permanent dental lamina buds off of Primary Dental Lamina Formation from Remnants of dental lamina
71
Hyperdontia Associated Developmental Disorders
Most with Multiples Apert Cleft Lip and Palate Cleidocranial Dysplasia Crouzon Downs Syndrome Gardener Syndrome Hallermann-Streiff Noonan Syndrome Oral-Facial-Digital Sturge-Weber Zimerman-Laby Syndrome
Less commonly: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fabry Anderson's Syndrome, Chondroectodermal Dysplasia, Incontinentia Pigmenti and Tricho Rhino-Phalangeal Syndrome, Zimerman-Laby/Noonan Syndrome
72
![Page 13: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Supernumerary-Hyperdontia
Prevalence of .3-3% in Primary and Permanent dentition - Compared to 3-7% Hypodontia
5x more common in Permanent dentition
Primary Supernumeraries .3-.6% prevalence Primary supernumeraries (most supplemental laterals) almost
always erupt due to excess primary space
1/3 of cases with a Primary Supernumerary will Also have Permanent Supernumerary
73
Supernumerary-Hyperdontia
Favors Males over Females 2:1
Rule of 90s: - 90% Occur in the Maxilla - 90% of those in the Premaxilla - 90% Located Palatal/Lingual
74
ClassificationPrimary/Permanent, Location, Orientation and Morphology
Location: Mesiodens Most Common Midline Anterior Maxilla
Paramolar Distomolar Bilateral 13% Multiple: Less than 1% of all cases
Orientation: Inverted reported as high as 48% Transverse Vertical
75
Classification• Morphology:
Supplemental, normal shape and size also called incisiform
76
Rudimentary, abnormal shape and smaller size, 4 subtypes
• Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common
• Tuberculate-width equals length with tubercles, stunted roots or lack of root and rarely erupts
• Molariform-very rare, similar to tubercle type but occurs in pairs and has complete root formation/eruption
• Compound Odontoma - may be used for classification of collection of enamel, dentin and cementum
77
Diagnosis • Clinical and Radiographic
• Asymmetry or Disruption in Sequence
• Anterior is size 2 occlusal film, large occlusal film if possible
– Localize Parallelism/SLOB rule; 90 degree cross-section or lateral may be used
• PANO: Most commonly used
• CBCT/3D
78
![Page 14: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Complications• 7-20% cases will have no complications
• Nasal Eruption
• Cystic degeneration/Dentigerist Cyst
• Impaction
• Delayed or Ectopic Eruption: most common
• Spacing or Crowding Issues
• Adjacent Tooth Impaction or Displacement; they have not been shown to cause resorption or devitalization without trauma
• 79-91% are unerupted in early mixed dentition and 42-51% remain unerupted during adolescents
79
Management• Removal and Treatment:
– Early (before 6) or Delayed (after 7) intervention needs to take several factors into account from the diagnosis
– Due to the high probability of developing complications, removal should occur after diagnosis Except when: • 1: A midline non-inverted conical tooth with a good prognosis for early
eruption • 2: Lacking any Complications AND any of the following:
– close proximity to permanent root apex, – vessels, – nerves, – sinus, – pterygomaxillary space or – orbit
CBCT if in Doubt
80
Management-Delayed • 75% of incisors will erupt fully within 1.5 to 3 years after the
supernumerary is removed; however, most will be short (~1mm) of the occlusal plane due to previously matured gingival fibers
• Surgical exposure unerupted incisor only after no evidence of movement after ~6 months from the extraction of the supernumerary
• 85% of teeth that require surgical exposure will spontaneously erupt after the procedure
• Ortho eruption should be implemented only after failed spontaneous eruption following previous surgical exposure
81
Case 1
• Initial radiographs

THIRD MOLAR WISDOMTO EXTRACT, OR NOT TO EXTRACT?
THAT IS THE QUESTION.
Matthew Karban, DMD, MD Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
The Dental Specialists
May 19, 2015
87
What Patients Think• Causes crowding
• Hard to clean
• Cavities
• Pain
• *Trust their dentist*
88
But What if They Have No Symptoms?
• Remove?
• Observe?
• Refer?
• Is risk worth benefit?????
89
AAOMS White Papers• 2007, task force to review current literature
• Ovid Medline, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Cochrane
• Addressed 10 major topics
90
![Page 16: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Topics AddressedNatural hx of wisdom teeth
Periodontal concernsMicroflora/bacteria
Effects of ageOrthodontic considerations
ImagingRole of Coronectomy
Lingual nerve/flapSocket management
Nerve damage
91
Natural History• Unerupted teeth can change position beyond
3rd decade of life
• Adequate osseous space does not mean adequate physiological space
92
Perio Concerns• Presence of 3rd molars is assoc. with elevated
levels of periodontitis
• Impacted molars are related to root resorption and perio attachment loss
• Ext. beyond age 26 can cause perio defects or lead to progression if defect already present
• GTR in these high risk patients may be beneficial
93
Microflora• Pathogenic bacteria exist around a symptomatic
3rds in clinically significant numbers
• Perio disease progresses in absence of symptoms
94
Age Risk
• 40% of caries on erupted 3rds before age 40
• Post op morbidity higher in pts > 26yrs of age
• Perio defects deteriorate with age
• Germectomy has lower morbidity
95
Ortho Concerns
• Dental crowding complex and multi-factorial
• Does play some role in crowding but may not be clinically significant
• No study isolates effect of 3rd molars
96
![Page 17: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Imaging
• Panoramic imaging is standard imaging technique for evaluation
• Exact role of CBCT is evolving and unclear
97
Coronectomy• Should be considered if
nerve proximity is a concern
• Minimal literature, should be considered as alternative only
• No standard of care with regard to technique
98
Lingual Flap
• Lingual flap and retractor is acceptable
• Must stay subperiosteal, be broad and without sharp edges
99
Socket Management
• Grafting sites for high risk perio patients shows predictable benefit
• High risk = >26yrs, horizontal/MA impaction, pre-existing perio defect
100
Nerve Damage• IAN: temp 1-7%, perm 0-0.9%
• Lingual: temp 0.4-1.5%, perm 0-0.5%
• Nerve repair is effective and should be considered in timely manner
101
Risks of Observation• Decay
• Perio
• Cysts/Tumors
• *Increased morbidity with late removal
102
![Page 18: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Risks of Extraction• Lingual/IAN damage
• Jaw fracture
• Sinus complications
• Alveolar Osteitis
• Perio defects
103
A Worst Case Scenario!
• 52 yr M presents with tenderness over #17
• Referred by his DDS
• Obtained Panoramic film
• Exam: palpable swelling, trismus
104
105
• Obtained CT
• Multiloculated cyst, impacted #17
• Obtained biopsy and extracted #17, 18
• Concern of dentigerous cyst, OKC or ameloblastoma
106
• Squamous cell carcinoma arising within an odontogenic cyst
• Referred to colleague at Mayo Clinic
• Mandibular resection with microvascular fibular free flap reconstruction

Preventable????
112
Take Home Message• All wisdom teeth should be properly evaluated
from an early age
• Observation vs extraction is multifactorial and dynamic
• Understand and be aware or risks with observation and extraction

I AM ALLERGIC TO EPINEPHRINE & LATEX. CAN I STILL GET
A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
Matthew J. Royal, DDS
May 19, 2015
115
Questions Your Patients Are Asking
“I am allergic to epinephrine and latex. Can I still get a root canal treatment?”
116
Yes, you can still have root canal treatment.
117
Local Anesthetics
➢ Introduced injectable LA to dentistry ➢ Cocaine with 1:50,000 epinephrine ➢ 1885 administered IAN block for the “surgical
removal of the nerve” ➢ By early 1900s reports of adverse rxn’s ➢ Halsted became addicted to cocaine
Dr. William Halsted (1852-1922)
118
Evolution of Local Anesthetics
➢ 1904 Alfred Einhorn (Germany): Procaine (Novocaine)
➢ 1943 Nils Lofgren (Sweden): Lidocaine ➢ 1965 Carbocaine introduced ➢ 1970s Marcaine ➢ 1970s Articaine (Germany), 1983 (Canada) ➢ 2000 (US)
119
Epinephrine
1. Prolongs duration/effective anesthesia 2. Hemostasis 3. Prevent toxic reaction to LA
Why do we use it? Vasoconstrictor
120
![Page 21: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Allergy to Epinephrine?
➢ True allergic rxn is very rare ➢ A few case reports of allergic reaction or
hypersensitivity demonstrated by skin tests
Allergy vs. Adverse Reaction
121
Endogenous Epinephrine
➢ Naturally occurring ➢ Circulates in a nonpolymerized state ➢ Produces no epinephrine antibody
122
Exogenous Epinephrine
➢ Composed of artificial chemical products ➢ Case reports showing hypersensitivity to
epinephrine hydrochloride and epinephrine bitartrate
➢ Polymerized epi has been demonstrated to cause antibodies in humans and animals
Kohase, H., Umino, M., Anesth Prog 51:134-137 2004
Used in dental LA preparations
123
Communication
➢ Allergic vs. adverse reaction
“What happened when epinephrine was used?”
124
3% Carbocaine w/o epi
1. Discuss w/ patients that it might be more difficult to get and keep them numb
2. May want to consider an intraosseous injection (for lower molar RCT)
3. Intrapulpal injection might be necessary (especially for RCT on a “hot tooth”)- warn patient prior to IP injection
125
Diphenhydramine HCl
1. Two 5ml syringes w/ needle 2. Diphenhydramine supplied in 1ml ampules
(50mg/ml) 3. Diluent (saline)
Dr. Stanley Malamed
126
![Page 22: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Preparation
1. Load contents of 1ml ampule into syringe 2. Dilute to a total of 5ml of fluid by adding 4ml
of saline 3. “diphenhydramine HCL 10mg/ml”
127
Technique
➢ Administer in same manner and volume as any traditional LA
128
Duration of Action:
➢ 60 min most likely contains epinephrine ➢ Soft tissues: 2-4 hours
Pulpal anesthesia: 30-60 min
129
Side Effects:
➢ Drowsiness: patient needs a driver ➢ Soreness at injection site: warn patient and
inject slowly ➢ Consider using supplemental N2O
130
Latex Allergy
➢ Proteins found in natural rubber and/or chemicals used to manufacture commercial latex can cause allergic reactions
➢ www.aae.org (under Clinical Resources/guidelines and position statements)
AAE Position Statement
131
3 Types of Reactions
1. Irritant contact dermatitis: • Most common reaction • Mainly caused by added chemicals or powder • Directly injures skin – redness, swelling, dryness,
itching, burning • Not a true allergy • Symptoms disappear w/in hours of removal
Natural Rubber Latex (NRL)
132
![Page 23: Navigating the Esthetic Zone - · PDF fileClassification Primary/Permanent ... • Conical-most common subtype, single or paired mesiodens, inversion is common ... • Dental crowding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5aa59bd77f8b9afa758d73bd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3 Types of Reactions
2. Allergic contact dermatitis: • Cell mediated, type IV (delayed hypersensitivity) • Chemicals used in manufacturing • Penetrate skin – allergic reaction • Swelling and redness w/in 24 – 48 hours after
exposure (can last for several days) • Account for 80% of true allergic reactions
Natural Rubber Latex (NRL)
133
3 Types of Reactions
3. Latex allergy: • Immediate, type I hypersensitivity response to
proteins found in NRL • Response occurs w/in minutes of exposure • Hives (skin exposure) • Respiratory (inhaled): wheezing, runny nose,
sneezing
Natural Rubber Latex (NRL)
134
Latex Allergy Continued
➢ Facial swelling, difficulty in breathing, severe drop in blood pressure
➢ Protein introduced directly into blood ➢ Patients w/ multiple allergies and frequently
exposed to NRL products ➢ Maybe sensitive to chestnuts, bananas, kiwi
fruits, avocados
Anaphylactic Reaction
135
Latex Allergy Stats
➢ Incidence of hypersensitivity reactions up significantly since late 1980s (why?)
➢ 1-6% of general population is allergic ➢ 5-10% of health care workers ➢ Children and adolescents w/ spina bifida
136
Is Gutta-Percha safe?
➢ To date (2012) only 2 case reports of possible type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction during RCT
➢ No definitive proof reactions occurred from gutta-percha, more likely from rubber dam and/or gloves
➢ Several studies showing no cross-reactivity
Cross reactivity between gutta-percha and NRL?
137
Precautions
➢ Thorough medical and dental history ➢ Nitrile gloves and dental dam ➢ Remove rubber stoppers from endodontic
instruments (use indelible ink to mark WL) ➢ 1st morning appointment to minimize airborne
latex particles ➢ Special latex-free rooms (hospital setting?)

Alternative Materials
➢ Resilon (RealSeal – SybronEndo) • Handles like gutta-percha • Cost relatively similar to gutta-percha • Retreatment similar to gutta-percha
Obturation
139
Resilon
140
Alternative Materials
➢ MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) • Medical grade Portland cement • Technique sensitive/difficult to handle • Expensive (often end up wasting material) • Difficult, if not impossible to retreat • Staining of teeth and/or gingival tissues
Obturation
141
Alternative Materials
➢ EndoSequence Bioceramic root repair material (BC-RRM) by Brassler • Easier to handle than MTA and less waste • Doesn’t stain • Superior results? (recent study saw better healing
vs MTA for root-end filling) • Retreatment?
Obturation
