Dentine hypoplasia syndrome in children

Introduction to dentine growth syndrome in children Dentin growth syndrome (dentinogenesisimperfectasyndrome), also known as enamel hypoplasia syndrome (hypoplasticteethenamelsyndrome), brown tooth syndrome (brownteethsynodrome), depressed teeth (pittedteeth), Capdepone syndrome, Stainton syndrome, etc., is an autosomal display Sexually inherited diseases are named as dentin insufficiency syndrome according to the special and morphological changes of this disease. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.005% Susceptible people: children Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: dental caries

Causes of dentine growth syndrome in children

(1) Causes of the disease

This condition is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease.

1. Systemic malnutrition: especially calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C disorders.

2. Systemic or local infections: high fever or metabolic disease, pediatric measles, scarlet fever, deciduous apical inflammation of the deciduous teeth.

3. Genetic factors.

(two) pathogenesis

The disease is caused by enamel and essential dysplasia, and the disease is formed after birth. Pathological examination shows that the root of the tooth is slender, the medullary cavity is small, the hardness of the tooth is significantly reduced, and the structure is destroyed, but the pupil is rare.

Pediatric dentin growth syndrome prevention

Pay attention to maternal nutrition during pregnancy, do a good job in various health care and child health care during pregnancy, enhance physical fitness, prevent infection, prevent calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C deficiency and so on.

Pediatric dentine growth syndrome syndrome complications Complications

May be associated with jaw or bone insufficiency, can affect the chewing function, prone to dental caries.

Symptoms of dentine dysplasia syndrome in children Symptoms Symptoms of teeth are abnormal on the teeth. Tooth color is abnormal. Teeth are small. Translucent teeth. Yellow teeth. Childhood overgrowth.

This disease affects both the deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth. These manifestations can occur when the teeth are long after birth. The teeth are small, translucent, brownish yellow or orange yellow, fragile and easy to break, but no looseness, all or most The teeth can be gradually worn out.

1. Mild: The enamel is normal in shape and has no substantial defects. The enamel is white and opaque, the surface is loose and rough, and sometimes it is yellowish brown.

2. Severe: enamel substantial defects There are banded or nest-like depressions on the surface of the teeth. The coloration is white or yellowish brown. In severe cases, there is no enamel formation or crown shape change or shrinkage.

3. Caused by systemic factors: enamel hypoplasia caused by systemic factors, the left and right teeth of the same name are symmetrical, and the development of the teeth at the same time is involved.

Examination of dentine hypoplasia syndrome in children

There are no special findings in the general examination of the laboratory and pathological examination if necessary.

X-ray examination if necessary.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of dentine growth syndrome in children

Diagnosis can usually be made according to clinical manifestations, and the removal of the diseased teeth can be confirmed by pathological examination.

During the diagnosis, due to the symptoms of gingival soft tissue swelling must be differentiated from the alveolar abscess.
