  • extirpation of the primary Canine Tooth follicles a form of infant oral mutilation
    Journal of the American Dental Association, 2008
    Co-Authors: Paul C Edwards, Nicholas Levering, Erin Wetzel, Tarnjit Saini
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Background Ebinyo is a form of infant oral mutilation (IOM), widely practiced in rural areas of eastern Africa, in which traditional healers and other village elders extirpate the primary Canine Tooth follicles of infants by using crude, often unsterilized, instruments or utensils. Traditional folklore suggests that the underlying Tooth follicles, thought to resemble worms, are the cause of high temperature, vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea in infants. In addition to the serious and potentially fatal immediate postsurgical complications, many of those who undergo this practice exhibit characteristic long-term adverse dentoalveolar effects. Children in these families also may be at greater risk of undergoing other mutilation rituals because of their cultural background. Case Description We report on the clinical and radiographic findings in five siblings who apparently were subjected to IOM as infants before immigrating to the United States. Clinical Implications Although the practice of IOM is believed to be exceedingly rare in developed countries, it is important that dentists and allied dental personnel who treat refugees from areas of the world in which IOM is endemic be aware of the social factors behind this practice as well as be able to recognize its dental and psychological sequelae.

  • Endodontics: standard endodontic treatment of a discolored maxillary Canine Tooth in a dog
    Veterinary Record Case Reports, 2019
    Co-Authors: Graham Thatcher
    Abstract:

    Pulpitis and subsequent pulp necrosis results in tissue degradation by-products causing staining of the dentin.This is a common cause of localised intrinsic staining of the teeth. Reversible pulpitis is a condition of pulpal inflammation in which the pulp can be returned to the normal state if the cause of the pulpitis is treated or removed; however, if this is not achieved, the condition will progress to irreversible pulpitis and pulp necrosis. If left untreated, a Tooth with pulp necrosis can result in periapical abscess, radicular cyst, granuloma, fistula, osteomyelitis, pathological fracture, periodontal disease and Tooth loss. The treatment options for a Tooth with pulp necrosis include endodontic or exodontic therapy. The purpose of endodontic therapy is to alleviate pain and to treat or prevent inflammation and infection in order to preserve the Tooth function. This case report describes the endodontic treatment of a discolored left maxillary Canine Tooth in a dog.

  • prosthodontics preparation and cementation of a full coverage metal crown on a fractured maxillary Canine Tooth
    Veterinary Record Case Reports, 2019
    Co-Authors: Graham Thatcher
    Abstract:

    Prosthodontics in veterinary medicine is a discipline in veterinary dentistry in which prosthetic dental appliances are applied in order to maintain and/or restore the function and integrity of the teeth. As it applies to prosthodontics, a crown is a cemented extracoronal restorative that covers part or all of the outer surface of the clinical crown. Full crowns may be recommended by veterinary dentists in order to return a Tooth to its normal function, protect it from further damage, or help maintain proper appearance of teeth with significant wear, previous fracture or endodontic treatment. This case report describes the preparation and cementation of a full metal crown for treatment of a compromised maxillary Canine Tooth in a dog.
