Pre-eruptive intracoronal dentine radiolucencies in the permanent dentition of Jordanian children

Abstract

PEIR defects occur at a significant prevalence rate in unerupted teeth. Increased awareness and careful radiographic examination of unerupted teeth may improve early detection and treatment of PEIR defects in children.

Evaluation of pre‐eruptive intracoronal resorption on cone‐beam computed tomography: A retrospective study

“…In the present study, all the cases of intracoronal resorption were located just beneath the dentinoenamel junction, as reported in previous studies (Grundy et al, '84;Seow et al, '99a;Hata et al, 2007;€ Ozden and Acikgoz, 2009;Al-Batayneh et al, 2014;Uzun et al, 2015). Al-Batayneh et al (2014) reported that 50% of defects extended to less than one-third of the dentin thickness. This figure is comparable to that reported in other studies, which reported that 85% and 55% of defects were less than one-third of the dentin thickness, respectively (Seow et al, '99b;Noriah Nik and Abdul Rahman, 2003).…”

“…In the study by Al‐Batayneh et al . () all the subjects had only one affected tooth, pointing to a role for local etiologic factors. This finding is in accordance with that of other studies (Özden and Acikgoz, ; Uzun et al ., ), although some authors (Wood and Crozier, ; Seow et al ., ; Hata et al ., ) reported more than one affected tooth in the same individual.…”

“…Another study by the same author reported that the prevalence of intracoronal resorption was 3% (Seow et al ., ) which was lower than that found in a study by Al‐Batayneh et al . () who reported a prevalence of 8.1%. In the present CBCT study, the prevalence of intracoronal resorption was 15.1%, and the tooth prevalence was 3.5%, which is higher than that recorded in the previous studies.…”
