“…[14] In severe cases, growth pressure from the odontomas may cause pain, infection, devitalization of adjacent teeth, and resorption of the tooth and the surrounding bone. [15,16] As odontomas are asymptomatic, most of them are diagnosed incidentally during routine radiographic examination. [14] They are frequently located between the roots of teeth and appear either as an irregular mass of calcified material surrounded by a narrow radiolucent band with a smooth peripheral surface or as multiple tooth-like structures with the same peripheral outline.…”

“…Early recognition of odontomas as a diagnosis in the deciduous dentition is important to prevent the complications such as the failure of eruption of permanent teeth, cystic changes, and bone destruction. [15] Early diagnosis also ensures inexpensive treatment and a better prognosis. [19] In regards to this case report, the early diagnosis was not possible as the initial finding from the first surgical procedure did not reveal the presence of developing odontomas.…”

The Unique Case of Rapid Developing Compound Odontomes Following Fibrous Tissue Removal Around Impacted Tooth

Odontoma is classified as an odontogenic tumor that develops slowly, asymptomatic, and usually found incidentally during the radiographic examination associated with the impeded eruption of teeth and displacement of adjacent teeth. This case report describes a unique encounter of rapid formation odontomas which formed and expand rapidly upon initial removal of fibrous tissue surrounding the impacted tooth and radiographically detected following the spontaneous eruption of the impacted tooth. Thus, odontomas which are known to be a slow-growing lesion may have a more rapid progression than previously thought.

“…Odontoma is the most frequent benign odontogenic tumor, accounting for 67% of jaw tumors and divided into two subgroups as complex and compound odontoma [1], [80]. There is no sex predilection and mostly manifests during the first two decades of life [80], [81]. Compound odontoma is more common than complex odontoma and is frequently seen in the anterior maxilla, whereas complex odontoma is seen most commonly in the posterior mandible, where it appears as a pericoronal lesion around un-erupted teeth or as an inter-radicular lesion [80].…”

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, overweight among children becomes an alarming problem and a health concern. Obesity is a factor in disease severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) having the greatest impact on patients. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight in some of the Egyptian governmental primary school children, its nutritional and socioeconomic determinants. Special focus was directed to identify the current dietary practices including risky nutritional habits of overweight children as a weak point leading to increasing their vulnerability to catching COVID-19 infection. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on primary school children aged 6–12 years. General demographic data, socioeconomic data, dietary pattern, intake of a diversity of nutrient-rich food versus calorie-dense food, and anthropometrical data were collected. RESULTS: Of 1600 child, there were 8% overweight who are considered at risk of COVID-19 infection. Considering the weekly share of the stomach, only one-third of the food consumed by overweight children is nutrient-rich, with high consumption of French fries and Candies (once per day among 95% and 78 % of overweight children, respectively). Moreover, 90% of them consume sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) more than once per day. The majority of overweight children belonged to small, middle- income families, and had illiterate or read and write mothers. CONCLUSION: Overweight children eat narrow diversity of nutrient-rich food that includes vegetables, fruits, protein, and dairy products. They eat more calorie-dense foods, every day. The increase of family income increased the likelihood of having overweight children with a high intake of SSB, candies, and chips; consumption of snacks between meals and before sleep. Protective predictors against overweight were highly educated mothers, taking breakfast before school, having dinner, and taking meals on time. RECOMMENDATION: Nutritional behavioral education aiming at choosing nutritious and varied options of food that is effective for improving children’s nutritional status is the key to decreasing vulnerability toward COVID 19.

BACKGROUND: Focusing on history taking and an analytical approach to patient’s radiographs, help to narrow the differential diagnoses. AIM: This narrative review article aimed to introduce an updated radiographical diagnostic decision tree for oral hard tissue lesions according to their radiographic features. METHODS: General search engines and specialized databases including PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Embase, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, and authenticated textbooks were used to find relevant topics by means of MeSH keywords such as “jaw diseases,” “maxilla,” “mandible,” “radiolucent,” “radiopaque,” “odontogenic,” “nonodontogenic,” “cysts,” and “tumors.” Related English-language articles published from 1973 to 2020, including reviews, meta-analyses, and original papers (randomized or non-randomized clinical trials; prospective; or retrospective cohort studies), case reports, and case series about oral hard tissue lesions were appraised. RESULTS: In this regard, bony lesions have been classified according to their radiographic pattern (radiolucent, mixed, radiopaque, and rarified), position (periapical, pericoronal and interradicular), margins (well and ill-defined), relation to dentition (with and without dental association), and number (solitary and multiple). In total, 50 entities were organized in the form of a decision tree. CONCLUSION: In this paper, an updated decision tree was proposed to help dental practitioners to make more accurate diagnoses and better treatment plans on the basis of radiographic characteristics.
