Objective:
This study aims to evaluate the potential impact of port wine stains on the development of permanent teeth in mixed dentition and provide insights for managing tooth abnormalities in patients with port wine stains.
Materials And Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 patients with mixed dentition and unilateral maxillary port wine stains. Two researchers concurrently utilized Nolla Analysis to assess the developmental stage of bilateral maxillary and permanent mandibular teeth based on panoramic radiographs. The cumulative developmental values of upper and lower permanent teeth on both sides were calculated, and a comparison was made between the developmental stages of the upper and lower jaws.
Results:
Port wine stains can influence the maturity of permanent upper teeth, within the unilateral maxillary port wine stains range, with an early developmental completion observed on the affected side compared to the unaffected side. While the developmental stages of the lower teeth on both sides showed similarities.
Conclusions:
Port wine stains can accelerate the maturity of teeth on the affected side, leading to alterations in the order of tooth eruption and subsequent abnormal occlusion in children with mixed dentition. These findings provide a basis for developing appropriate management strategies for addressing tooth abnormalities in patients with port wine stains.
