Research of connective tissue dysplasia influence on teething

Abstract

Purpose: This work aimed to study the rate and quality of maturation of the mineral component of retained teeth 3.8, 4.8 and lower jaw fragment of a human in connective tissue dysplasia in different periods of postpartum ontogenesis. Methods: The study involved 102 men (76 with connective tissue dysplasia and 26 without connective tissue dysplasia) divided into groups by age: 31–40, 41–50, 51–60 years. One tooth 3.8, 4.8 and a fragment of the alveolar part of the lower jaw in the projection of teeth 3.8, 4.8 0.5*0.5 cm in size were extracted from each examinee for medical indications. Results: Low optical density values are observed at the age of 41–50 years, at the age of 51–60 years, indicating decreased mineral density and the presence of total areas of hypomineralization from the age 31–40 years in connective tissue dysplasia. At the age of 41–50, 51–60 years, at the boundary of connective tissue structures and periosteum, a pronounced sclerosis and deformation of delineation elements were observed; at the age of 31–40 years, the indicated changes were less pronounced. At the age of 31–40 years, the level of bone plate dissection has a local character, after 40 years, it has a generalized character. Conclusion: Progressive osteoporosis of the mandible and incomplete amelogenesis are an obstacle to the correct and harmonious teething of the lower wisdom teeth after the age of 30.
