A case of supernumerary tooth in the mandibular anterior region – Report on a rare case of five mandibular incisors
We report the case of a 7-year-old male patient with five incisors including one impacted tooth in the mandibular anterior region. We extracted one of the four erupted teeth to assure the eruption of the impacted tooth within the dentition. Eleven months after tooth extraction, the incisor erupted within the dentition and the incisors exhibited close to normal arrangement. This case indicates that favorable outcomes can be achieved for cases of supernumerary teeth in the mandibular anterior region by treating in the early mixed dentition period.

Fork injuries with the tines inserted bilaterally between the mandibular interdental spaces
Publication date: Available online 23 February 2019Source: Pediatric Dental JournalAuthor(s): Keisuke Kondo, Motohiro Kikuchi, Daisuke Nasu, Takahiro Kaneko, Norio HorieAbstractIn this paper, we report two rare cases of foreign body oral injuries caused by forks inserted tightly into both sides of the lingual interdental spaces between the mandibular deciduous canines and first deciduous molars (FDMs). These pediatric cases of foreign body insertion caused not only soft tissue injuries but also the potential luxation of affected deciduous teeth, i.e., the FDMs in the present cases, during the removal of the object by force...

Ion release and enamel remineralizing potential of miswak, propolis and chitosan nano-particles based dental varnishes
ConclusionChitosan-nanoparticles and miswak containing varnishes were most effective in remineralizing enamel lesions probably due to the release of F−, Ca++, PO4−− ions compared to NaF varnish that released F− only. (Source: Pediatric Dental Journal)

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in mandibular molar region: A case report
We report a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) in the mandibular molar region. A Japanese boy aged 6 years 8 months visited the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Osaka University Dental Hospital with dental caries as the chief complaint. Radiography revealed a well-defined homogenous mixed radiopaque mass like dentition above the crown of the mandibular left first molar. At the age of 6 years 9 months, enucleation of the tumor mass was performed under local anesthesia. Based on the histological findings, the diagnosis was AFO. Following enucleation, the left first molar showed a tendency for eruption. (Source: Pediatric Dental Journal)

Marsupialization is the optimal treatment for odontogenic keratocyst in pediatric patients
We report herein a case of multiple OKCs in a pediatric patient treated using marsupialization five times and enucleation twice. Recurrence was not observed after surgical treatments in 7 years of follow-up. We suggest that treatment with marsupialization should be considered as the first-line treatment strategy for young patients with OKC. (Source: Pediatric Dental Journal)

Birooted primary canines identified in 8-year-old Japanese girl – Case report
This report presents a rare case of birooted bilateral maxillary primary canines. A Japanese girl aged 8 years 10 months was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Osaka University Dental Hospital by an orthodontic dentist to extract maxillary bilateral primary canines. The canines appeared to be birooted in panoramic radiography and were extracted under infiltration anesthesia. Both visual observation and computed tomography findings revealed that the birooted primary canine had 2 roots for each root canal. In spite of the rareness of this condition, it should be kept in mind because of potential problems in affect...

Investigation of the effects of the chromosomal regions of mouse chromosome 2 on susceptibility to dental caries using congenic strains
ConclusionSeveral caries-resistant genes could be located between D2Mit126 and D2Mit226. Salivary secretion volume was one of the most important factors related to dental caries, and the genes influencing the rate of salivary secretion might be located in the same region.
