Ectodermal dysplasia comprises inherited disorders that are defined by primary defects in the development of two or more tissues derived from the embryonic ectoderm. The tissues primarily involved are the skin, hair, nails, exocrine glands, and teeth. Ectodermal dysplasias are congenital, diffuse, and non-progressive. To date, more than 192 distinct disorders have been described. The most common EDs are X-linked recessive Hypohidrotic ED (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) and hidrotic ED (Clouston syndrome). In these disorders, hair may be sparse, sweat glands rudimentary, teeth abnormal or absent, and nails brittle.
Chewing gum has several properties that can either be beneficial or detrimental to oral health. On the one hand, most chewing gums sold are sweetened with sucrose and can contribute to the cariogenic "load" of the diet. On the other hand, the use of chewing gum after meals stimulates salivation and neutralizes plaque pH. Furthermore, sucrose in chewing gum can be replaced with artificial sweeteners like xylitol to reduce the cariogenic load of the diet.
Class III malocclusion is one of the most difficult anomalies to understand. The studies conducted to identity etiological features of class III malocclusion showed that the deformity is not restricted to jaws but involves total craniofacial complex.
It is well-established that infants commonly become infected with mutans streptococci through oral transmission from their mothers. Xylitol-sweetened chewing gum has been shown to reduce mutans streptococcus counts in mothers of infants.
The science of pediatric dentistry aims to restore the integrity of the dental arch, which involves preventing deterioration through prompt interception of erosion and disease, followed by diagnosis and rehabilitation of lost dental structure to bring about normal function, form, and acceptable aesthetics. This is particularly important in cases of early childhood caries, where rapid and gross destruction of the dental structure can pose a significant challenge. This article features the restoration and rehabilitation of early childhood caries-affected primary anterior teeth using stress-relieved posts. The posts used in this case were exfoliated primary teeth or fragments thereof.
