Summary
This review summarizes segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD) characteristics in 60 cases, noting frequent male predominance and maxillary involvement. Treatment evidence for this rare condition is limited.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD) is a rare condition affecting the maxilla.
- Understanding its clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and summarize current knowledge on the characteristics and treatment of segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD).
Main Methods:
- A PRISMA-guided systematic review of descriptive studies, case series, and case reports up to May 2024.
- Searches conducted in major databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SciELO, and Cochrane Library.
- Statistical association analyses performed on clinical variables using chi-square tests.
Main Results:
- 35 studies detailed 60 SOD cases (mean age 12 years), with males more affected (62%).
- Common findings include facial asymmetry, unilateral swelling, intraoral alterations (gingival hyperplasia, alveolar process enlargement), and tooth anomalies (premolar agenesis in 80%).
- Radiographic and histopathological exams revealed dense bone and altered trabecular patterns; treatment data was available for only 33 cases, with limited evidence.
Conclusions:
- This review provides comprehensive epidemiological, clinical, radiographic, and histopathological data on segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD).
- The evidence base for effective treatment strategies for SOD remains scarce, highlighting a need for further research.

Teeth
2.2K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Assessment of the Mouth
1.6K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
