Abstract
Purpose: Ectopic eruption can be defined as the emergence of a tooth in an abnormal location, where the tooth does not follow its typical eruption pathway. While ectopic eruption within the dentate region is well-documented in the literature, ectopic eruption in non-dentate regions is relatively rare. This study aimed to report 6 cases of ectopic teeth and present a systematic review of the English-language literature on ectopic teeth, emphasizing demographic characteristics, radiographic features, potential complications, and treatment options.
Materials and methods: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. The demographic data and radiographic findings of patients presenting with ectopic teeth were recorded.
Results: The literature review yielded 61 cases of ectopic teeth, with patients ranging in age from 3 to 74 years. The findings from these previously reported cases demonstrated that the most common location for ectopic teeth was the maxillary sinus, which is consistent with this case series. The Pearson chi-square test was performed to evaluate the correlation between age and location of ectopic teeth, and the results were found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between sex and the location of ectopic teeth.
Conclusion: The distinct features of these cases warrant reporting. This study presents the first case of supernumerary teeth in the condyle without any associated pathosis. Another notable characteristic is the pre-eruptive resorption of 2 inverted supernumerary teeth ectopically located in the palate, which predisposes to sinus opacification.
目的:异位萌出可以定义为牙齿出现在异常位置,牙齿不遵循其典型的萌出路径。虽然文献中有充分的文献记载,但非牙齿区域的异位萌出相对罕见。本研究旨在报告6例异位牙齿病例,并对异位牙齿的英语文献进行系统回顾,强调人口统计学特征、放射学特征、潜在并发症和治疗选择。材料和方法:使用PubMed、Medline、Web of Science和Cochrane数据库进行文献检索。记录异位牙齿患者的人口统计学数据和放射学检查结果。结果:文献回顾共发现61例异位牙,患者年龄从3岁到74岁不等。这些先前报道的病例的研究结果表明,异位牙齿最常见的位置是上颌窦,这与本系列病例一致。Pearson卡方检验用于评估年龄和异位牙齿位置之间的相关性,结果具有统计学意义(结论:这些病例的独特特征值得报告。本研究报告了第一例髁突多生牙齿,没有任何相关的病理学。另一个显著特征是位于腭外的2颗倒置多生牙齿在萌出前吸收,易导致鼻窦混浊。
