Healing after experimental luxation and intraalveolar root fracture in immature rat teeth
Publication date: December 2017Source: Pediatric Dental Journal, Volume 27, Issue 3Author(s): Kuniomi Nakamura, Atsushi Oishi, Tomoki Uehara, Kanae Wada, Michiyo MiyashinAbstractAimsThe purpose of this study was to clarify the histopathological reactions, growth and complications on immature rat molar with intraalveolar root fracture over 3–4weeks.MethodsThe 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 types of 3...

Oral findings in patient with lethal hypophosphatasia treated with enzyme replacement therapy
We report here a 3-year-old female diagnosed with perinatal HPP who had received enzyme replacement therapy starting from 1 day after birth. Oral and radiographic examinations revealed deep periodontal pockets, severe mobility, and dentinogenesis imperfecta with root formation defects, especially in the mandibular primary second molars, while the tooth germs of permanent teeth except for the first molars were unclear. Dental manifestations of lethal HPP following treatment with enzyme replacement therapy were markedly different from those of mild HPP. (Source: Pediatric Dental Journal)

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: April 2018Source: Pediatric Dental Journal, Volume 28, Issue 1Author(s): Yuko FujitaAbstractBackgroundAn 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.ObjectiveThis review aims to summarize current findings related t...
