Case of dental concrescence associated with Dens evaginatus on a mandibular permanent molar

2024-04-30T10:17:43+00:00

Our objective was to present an unusual clinical case of a dental concrescence that comes with a Dens evaginatus on a mandibular left sector molar. This is about a description of this dental morphologic anomaly. The content of this article includes the clinical, radiological and anatomy morphological features of this anomaly of dental development of a 19-year-old female patient. The particularity of our case was its rarity, its installation on a posterior mandibular tooth, its localization on the mesial dental side, and finally the association of both cases of dental development anomalies. The treatment decision is based on the tooth conservation priority. The lack of its antagonist to preserve dental occlusion and strengthen the masticatory system, a preventive treatment is made to block all decay progression, combined with a prosthetic and orthodontic treatment recommendation

Management of dental erosive using composite layering technic and biomimetic efficiency

2024-04-30T10:17:43+00:00

In the world, in 2006, the prevalence of dental wear was 46.9% among individuals aged 14 to 88 years. According to Schlueter N and colleagues, by calculating an approximate average from available data, they estimated the average prevalence of dental erosion to be between 30 and 50% for deciduous teeth and between 20 and 45% for permanent teeth worldwide. They found that patients with gastro esophageal reflux (GERD) and eating disorders associated with vomiting had a clear impact on the prevalence of erosion. Regardless of the type of dental substance loss in the anterior sector, composite crown restoration remains the most chosen restorative therapy by dentists. Located in the anterior region, these types of dental substance losses affect aesthetics and make the smile unattractive. The individual's personality is disturbed as well as their communicative life. The objective of this article was to present the case of a patient with dental erosions in the anterior sector, managed by the composite layering technique, and to demonstrate the biomimetic efficiency of the restoration.

The aim of this research study was to determine the factors influencing the choice of the type of oral health care center attended by the population of the city of Mahajanga I in Madagascar. Methods based in a cross-sectional observational-analytical study, conducted in the city of Mahajanga I in 2019. Surveys were carried out among the class of population aged over 18 years, residing more than six months in the city of Mahajanga I, visiting an oral health center more than once. The questionnaires were based on a description of the factors motivating patients to choose an oral health center. Uni-variate and bivariate analyses were carried out. The bivariate analysis was conducted to identify the association between the variables studied and the type of oral health center attended. The Pearson Chi² test was used to test the significance of the results and a value of p< 0, 05 was considered significant. Results managing, socio-economic factors and factors for assessing the quality of services influence the choice of the type of oral health care center by the population of Mahajanga I. Gender, age, profession and the type of approach and motivation offered at Oral Health Care Centers were factors associated with the choice of type of oral health care center by the population of Mahajanga.
