Palatal tori are common among Asian and Eskimo. It is a slowly growing, flat-based bony protuberance or excrescence which occurs in the midline of the hard palate. Palatal tori have a high prevalence rate among Malaysian. Torus palatines’ can initially be as small as less than 2 cm in diameter. Throughout life it can slowly increase in size sometimes to the extent of filling the entire palatal vault. Studies have shown that tongue thrust is one of the oral habits which lead to anterior open bite and posterior crossbite. In this context, it is hypothesized that palatal tori may be associated with tongue thrusting. The basis of considering torus palatinus contributing to tongue thrusting habit is that the presence of torus palatinus may act as mechanical restrictions for positioning and movement of tongue. Consequently, the tongue will try to compensate by either being placed further anteriorly against the maxillary incisors leading to open bite, or it might rest inferiorly close to the floor of the mouth, disturbing the buccinator mechanism leading to crossbite. Hence, palatal tori could be associated with various kind of malocclusion, predominantly being the open bite. This is a study to evaluate its possible association with the various types of malocclusion.

 

 

 

Manuela Daian has finished her dentistry studies in Bucharest at the University for Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila. In 1999 she received her graduate training in Orthodontics at the same University. She started her career as an orthodontist in Greece and since 2009 she has been working in the Netherlands. She is aware that continuous training is very important . During the years she has enriched her knowledge by following seminars and courses at home and abroad. In addition to practical work, she is also involved in the educational field. In the period 2012-2014 she was also active in training of orthodontic assistants at the Academie Tandartsenpraktijk in Amersfoort and she has given scientific presentation on oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment, impacted cuspids and tooth autotransplantation. She is an Invisalign, Damon and Incognito certified orthodontist.

Introduction: Mandibular canine impaction with or without transmigration is regarded as a much rarer phenomenon and there are limited studies revealing its frequency of occurrence. Canine impactions occur 20 times more frequently in the maxilla than in the mandible and impacted maxillary canines have not been observed migrating across the midline palatal suture. The cause is usually a supernumerary tooth, an odontoma or crowding. It may, however, occur with no apparent reason. This problem has several solutions. The tooth could be surgically exposed and moved into the dental arch orthodontically, an autotransplantation could be performed or the cuspid can be extracted.

 

Case Presentation: Here we present a case of a 13 year old girl with an impacted and transmigrated lower cuspid. The autotransplantation was chosen as the treatment method. The autotransplantation was performed in the Clinic Paro Rotterdam. Because the root formation of the cuspid was complete an endodontic treatment was performed two weeks after the autotransplantation. The postoperative phase developed without complications and the orthodontic treatment was completed within 11 months after the autotransplantation.

 

Conclusion: In 1933 Harry Wright stated that in order to have a normal occlusion all the permanent teeth should be present and in a correct position. Referring to the impacted teeth and their treatment affirmed that: “Is easier to extract such a tooth than to aide his eruption”. Unfortunately, affirmations are still present; there are still clinicians who choose for extraction of the lower impacted cuspid even if the position of the cuspid allows the autotransplantation.

Facial beauty has been a major factor since the ancient times; the perception of a beautiful face had varied across historical period and among human culture. People have always had their own ideal of beauty. Keeping this in mind beauty and esthetics, orthodontists have begun to pay particular attention to the facial profile and soft tissues when evaluating a patient for a treatment. Aim of the study was to evaluate and to correlate the anteroposterior position of lips on cephalometry using E line and Merrifield line and determine the most preferred soft tissue profile photographically in orthognathic Filipino adult patients. From the results of the study for adult Filipino patients with class I skeletal pattern, the mean difference of Z angle and E line to normal standard found was as higher as compared to normal standards. The mean Z-angle of Filipinos is 71.09±6.94 (standard value is 75-78), mean upper lip to E line is -0.38±2.18 (standard value is -4 mm) and 0.89±2.26 on lower lip to E line (standard is -2 mm as Filipinos have more protruded lips, round nose unlike Caucasians who have long noses and less protruded lips. So prior extractions, anterior position of lips should be well considered. For Filipino male and female, there was no difference in E line to upper lip and lower lip. But there was a higher Z angle of Filipino female than male. For Filipino adults when Eline and Merrifield line was compared there was a correlation found. As the E line increases Z angle decreases. For the perceptions orthodontist, orthodontic residents and laymen preferred figure B who had E line upper lip -2 mm lower lip -1 mm, Z angle was 77 degrees while least preferred was picture H whose Merrifield was 75 degrees E line upper lip was -3.5 mm and lower lip was 2 mm.

Head and neck cancer is one of the most life-threatening malignancies and is ranked as the sixth most frequently occurring malignancies in human body. Oral cancer accounts for its fair share and almost all of the cancers are oral squamous cell carcinomas. The oral cavity serves as the entry level for most of the carcinogens which makes it a potential target area for malignancies. The incidence rate of oral cancer is varied in its geographical pattern and is very high in South East Asia. The significance of oral cancer in recent years has increased because of its emergence in younger aged population. Inspite of its growing incidence the survival rate of oral cancer has not shown any significant progress. The foremost reason for less survival rate is contributed to the delay in its diagnosis and the predicament that is associated with definitive diagnostic modality. This points to the direction of the timing of diagnosis and the stage of the tumor. Oral cavity is functionally and anatomically complex in nature that its examination can fail even the well trained eye of an expert professional. Oral structures should be periodically examined and screened for any potential lesions.The anatomy of oropharynx is such that some areas are clearly visualized while few others pose difficulty for direct visualization. Premalignant lesions are missed or mistaken at this standpoint, while other lesions are misinterpreted due to the hindrance faced while palpating the posterior parts of oral tissues. Most of the patients initially ignore the symptoms relating it to a traumatic injury or a common oral sore, once the lesion starts its progression it invariably becomes asymptomatic and causes no evident discomfort. It is when the lesion enters the advanced stage, the symptoms become more evident and by the time it is in a more advanced state. Other important aspect which causes difficulty in definitive diagnosis is the selection of the biopsy site and sample tissue that is taken from the representative site. The tissue sample should have adequate quantitative pathological and normal cells for a prompt histopathological diagnosis. So, a specific paradigm should be designed for examination both visually and palpatory criteria. This studies the existing and adhered protocols in the diagnosis of oral cancer. Additional informative inputs that would be valuable in the spot on diagnosis and futuristic screening techniques have been mentioned. Thus, an early diagnosis can cause less damage to oral structures during interventional treatment and give a better prognosis.
