Odontoma associated with unerupted primary tooth in primary dentition – Three cases
We present clinical findings and management of 3 cases of odontomas that occurred in primary dentition, including a 3-year-old girl referred for examination of an unerupted left upper primary canine, a 6-year-old boy with an unerupted left lower second primary molar, and a 5-year-old girl who was presented with an unerupted right upper second primary molar. In all cases, periapical and panoramic radiography revealed a radio-opaque mass surrounded by a narrow radiolucent space located above the crown of the unerupted tooth. Each was diagnosed as a compound odontoma interfering with eruption of a primary tooth and surgical r...

Impact of a high-fat diet on bone health during growth
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2017 Source:Pediatric Dental Journal Author(s): Yuko Fujita Background An inappropriate eating habit is a relatively easily modified risk factor for obesity and osteoporosis in adults. The consumption of high-fat foods is known to induce obesity. Although numerous studies have documented a relationship between high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and osteoporosis, no consensus has been reached. In addition, few data on the relationships between mandibular properties and an HFD in the growth period are available. Objective This review aims to summarize current findings relate...

Dental caries prevalence and treatment level of neglected children at two child guidance centers
Conclusions Our results indicate that, due to a lack of daily oral care, dental caries are significantly more prevalent in children at CGCs. CGCs may be good places to improve neglected children's dental caries and oral health care. (Source: Pediatric Dental Journal)

Healing after experimental luxation and intraalveolar root fracture in immature rat teeth
Publication date: Available online 12 September 2017 Source:Pediatric Dental Journal Author(s): Kuniomi Nakamura, Atsushi Oishi, Tomoki Uehara, Kanae Wada, Michiyo Miyashin Aims The purpose of this study was to clarify the histopathological reactions, growth and complications on immature rat molar with intraalveolar root fracture over 3–4weeks. Methods The upper first molars of 4-week old male Crlj:WI rats weighing 93.5–107.0 g were pushed horizontally toward the palate to cause a constant amount of dislocation by our previously developed experimental luxation model. The molars were then scanned using two type...

Mandibular condyle fracture in Japanese girl and 10-year follow-up findings
Publication date: Available online 2 September 2017 Source:Pediatric Dental Journal Author(s): Masakazu Hamada, Ryota Nomura, Hiroyuki Yano, Atsushi Masui, Kazuma Kokomoto, Kazuhiko Nakano, Yoshiaki Yura A condyle fracture is the most common type of those that occur in the mandible, and is generally treated by an open reduction procedure or conservatively when encountered in children. Conservative treatment often results in a satisfactory long-term outcome of jaw function. Nevertheless, follow-up examinations after treatment are important to minimize potential effects of late complications. An 11-year-old Japanese...
