Clinical Information

  • Dental Pulp Calcification

    calcinosis of the dental pulp or root canal.
  • Dentin Dysplasia

    an apparently hereditary disorder of dentin formation, marked by a normal appearance of coronal dentin associated with pulpal obliteration, faulty root formation, and a tendency for peripheral lesions without obvious cause. (from dorland, 27th ed)
  • Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

    an autosomal dominant disorder of tooth development characterized by opalescent dentin resulting in discoloration of the teeth. the dentin develops poorly with low mineral content while the pulp canal is obliterated.
  • Nephrocalcinosis

    a condition characterized by calcification of the renal tissue itself. it is usually seen in distal renal tubular acidosis with calcium deposition in the distal kidney tubules and the surrounding interstitium. nephrocalcinosis causes renal insufficiency.
  • Osteopetrosis

    excessive formation of dense trabecular bone leading to pathological fractures; osteitis; splenomegaly with infarct; anemia; and extramedullary hemopoiesis (hematopoiesis, extramedullary).
  • Osteosclerosis

    an abnormal hardening or increased density of bone tissue.
  • Amelogenesis Imperfecta

    a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of hereditary conditions characterized by malformed dental enamel, usually involving dental enamel hypoplasia and/or tooth hypomineralization.
  • Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

    a congenital tooth development disorder caused by mutations in the dspp gene. the teeth are weak, discolored, and translucent.
  • COL1A2 wt Allele|COL1A2|Collagen Type I Alpha 2 Chain wt Allele|Collagen, Type I, Alpha 2 Gene|OI4|Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type IV Gene

    human col1a2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q22.1 and is approximately 37 kb in length. this allele, which encodes collagen alpha-2 (i) chain protein, plays a role in the structural integrity of tendons, ligaments and bones. mutations in the gene are associated with atypical marfan syndrome, ehlers-danlos syndrome types and osteogenesis imperfecta types.
  • Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type I

    the mildest and most common type of osteogenesis imperfecta. it is characterized by bone fractures, muscle weakness, and loose joints. bone deformities are either absent or minimal.
  • Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type II

    a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta. it is characterized by bone deformities, multiple fractures, underdeveloped lungs, and often death during or after birth due to respiratory abnormalities.
  • Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type III

    a type of osteogenesis imperfecta characterized by bone fractures, bone deformities, short stature, poor muscle development, barrel-shaped chest, and triangular face.
  • Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type IV

    a type of osteogenesis imperfecta that is characterized by fractures and hearing loss. it is more severe than type i and less severe than types ii and iii.
  • Nephrocalcinosis

    deposition of calcium in the renal parenchyma, resulting from high levels of calcium in the blood and/or urine.
  • Osteosclerosis

    abnormally high bone density.

Patient Education


Tooth Disorders

What are teeth?

Your teeth are made of a hard, bonelike material. There are four parts:

  • Enamel, your tooth's hard surface
  • Dentin, the hard yellow part under the enamel
  • Cementum, the hard tissue that covers the root and keeps your teeth in place
  • Pulp, the soft connective tissue in the center of your tooth. It contains nerves and blood vessels.

You need your teeth for many activities that you may take for granted. These include eating, speaking and even smiling.

What are tooth disorders?

There are many different problems that can affect your teeth, including:

  • Tooth decay - damage to a tooth's surface, which can lead to cavities
  • Abscess - a pocket of pus, caused by a tooth infection
  • Impacted tooth - a tooth did not erupt (break through the gum) when it should have. It is usually wisdom teeth that are impacted, but it can sometimes happen to other teeth.
  • Misaligned teeth (malocclusion)
  • Tooth injuries such as broken or chipped teeth

What causes tooth disorders?

The causes of tooth disorders varies, depending on the problem. Sometimes the cause is not taking good care of your teeth. In other cases, you may have been born with the problem or the cause is an accident.

What are the symptoms of tooth disorders?

The symptoms can vary, depending on the problem. Some of the more common symptoms include:

  • Abnormal color or shape of the tooth
  • Tooth pain
  • Worn-down teeth

How are tooth disorders diagnosed?

Your dentist will ask about your symptoms, look at your teeth, and probe them with dental instruments. In some cases, you may need dental x-rays.

What are the treatments for tooth disorders?

The treatment will depend on the problem. Some common treatments are:

  • Fillings for cavities
  • Root canals for cavities or infections that affect the pulp (inside of the tooth)
  • Extractions (pulling teeth) for teeth that are impacted and causing problems or are too damaged to be fixed. You may also have a tooth or teeth pulled because of overcrowding in your mouth.

Can tooth disorders be prevented?

The main thing that you can do to prevent tooth disorders is to take good care of your teeth:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another type of between-the-teeth cleaner
  • Limit sugary snacks and drinks
  • Don't smoke or chew tobacco
  • See your dentist or oral health professional regularly

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
